Cultivating the Client Behaviors You Want Through Your Marketing Efforts
Caitlin DeWilde, DVM, The Social DVM
Use your marketing to subtly nudge and facilitate your clients to take the actions that benefit your practice and your team. Go beyond getting them to book that appointment, shop online or request a refill. Get them to do it in the way that is most efficient for your team and/or provides the best client experience. Make your marketing a win-win for everyone! (1 hour lecture)

Compassionate Communications
John Mysz, LCSW, Veterinary Specialty Center
This presentation briefly explains the brain’s biological response to distress and trauma to help us understand more about the various “difficult” clients we all work with. We will then discuss how to respond as professionals; particularly how to foster compassion by understanding the clients better and utilizing some key tenants from different cognitive therapies. It will then focus on how to recognize signs of escalation both within yourself and the client and how to shift your focus towards the well-being of the patient rather than falling into some easy traps. (1 hour lecture)
