Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Practice Progress: Navigating Change in Vet Med
Q: What are three significant changes that you've implemented or led during your career, whether it be VetMed or outside of VetMed?
Karen describes leading a technician triage workflow change, a major software system transition, and a complete overhaul of management structure in different practices, each requiring careful planning, stakeholder engagement, and retraining to improve efficiency and patient care.
Feedback Without Friction: Mastering Employee Surveys
Q: What types of material have you gathered from surveys and polls?
She describes starting with simple, easily answerable questions to prove even anonymous feedback can be useful, then expanding to more open-ended prompts and using live polls in staff meetings to gather immediate reactions.
Coaching Up and Coaching Out
Q: What happens when someone isn't a good fit even after coaching?
If someone doesn't align with core values and capacity, we have hard conversations and may part ways; this is done with care to protect morale and is framed as a prudent long-term decision for the team.
Coaching Up and Coaching Out
Q: How do you implement these coaching practices day-to-day?
We use quarterly one-on-one check-ins, a People Analyzer for each staff member, and a structured 30/60/90-day program to monitor progress, with open communication and transparency guiding every step.
Coaching Up and Coaching Out
Q: What motivated you to adopt coaching up or coaching out in your three-location hospital?
The shared client and employee base across locations required consistent leadership; we adopted Traction and EOS to set clear expectations and use core values as a unifying standard, which helped us identify when it's a people issue versus a process issue.
