Pet Doctors Palm Beach
The Veterinary Leadership Mastery (VLM) course is the perfect next step for managers and owners wanting to further their leadership journey. Its delivery with Zoom calls allowed ample discussion and interaction with group members without the inconvenience of travel. The course content was well structured, highly relevant, and of course delivered with panache by Paul Ainsworth. All in all, VLM has been a worthwhile investment both financially and of our time (two of us signed up) to continue our ongoing endeavour to improve as Leaders.
