#025 - Dr Olivia Oginska can only be described as a shining light, and during this episode she shares how she found her passion and her niche within our veterinary profession. Having graduated in Poland, Liv soon made the move to the UK where she began her professional journey towards becoming a small animal surgeon. It wasn't long before she realised that this particular career path was not the right one for her; but through all of her experiences, she came to the realisation that her true gift was one of human connection.Liv boldly followed her intuition to acquire a formal qualification in psychology (positive psychology specifically), and now uses these skills to help veterinary leaders and veterinary teams enhance their workplace culture and emotional intelligence (EQ).
Throughout this episode, Liv shares with us what it means to be "human savvy", and how self-awareness and knowing "where we are right now" can vastly improve the way we function as a team.With an increasing number of veterinary leaders leaning in to the importance of EQ and embracing the type of clinical wellness coaching and opportunities offered by Liv, the future of our veterinary profession is undoubtedly bright; and I guarantee this episode will leave you feeling uplifted and positive about the direction our industry is headed.
