  • Some of  “team” & “people” highlights vs things she’s achieved.
  • The privilege of having “thinking time” that you don’t get in clinical practice.
  • The opportunity to be exposed to amazing minds and people that vets in clinic don’t get.
  • What would “Old Helen” say to “Young Helen” – I asked Helen what tips she’d give to herself today as a freshly graduated vet.
  • Her personal principles 
  • Tension and conflict
  • Communication
  • Human behaviour change
  • Bipolar language
  • The power of langua
