The Future is Female (Introverts)

Leadership in vet med (and globally) is male-dominated and homogeneous. But vet med and animal welfare are predominately female. Why aren't more women securing leadership roles and what is the cost to women in these professions if their views, ideas and needs aren't being represented at the leadership level?

In this episode I speak to Dr. Jenni Rizzo, emergency veterinarian and founder of Lone Star Veterinary Academy. We talk about:

-the current landscape of veterinary leadership

-what the risk is to women in the profession of the absence of women leaders

-how being an introvert may play into this disparity

- a recent experience she had in which she backed out of an interview

-a project we are working on together (FREE WEBINAR!)

The Invisible Workload of Women

The women I talk to in animal-related fields are exhausted and often overwhelmed. Yes animal-related fields are challenging and emotional and require our best selves. But that's not the entire story of why women are drained. Partly to blame is all of the unpaid, invisible and unnoticed work women do to maintain their families, households and communities. That is the Invisible Workload of Women. Tune in!

Emotional Labor

Emotional labor refers to employees having to suppress or discount their feelings at work in order to appease others. This may be around veterinary clients, someone surrendering a pet at your shelter, or even in a corporate setting where rules or guidelines have been put into place about what is acceptable and not acceptable despite how the other person may be behaving.
