Fourth keynote speaker announced for BSAVA Virtual Congress
Derek Mills (pictured) will give his keynote speech at BSAVA Congress on Friday 26 March.

Derek Mills will share his story on achieving a different route to success.

Public speaker, business guru and author Derek Mills has been announced as the fourth keynote speaker for BSAVA Congress 25 – 27 March 2021.

Mr Mills is a financial advisor and wealth manager who has spoken for and worked with a number of FTSE 100 companies, entrepreneurs and global organisations. He is the author of The 10 Second Philosophy and the creator of DailyStandards.com.

At BSAVA Congress, Mr Mills will be sharing his experiences and and advice around achieving success in business and in life by 'being one’s True Self '. He will also share some ‘practical philosophy’ about how to utilise Daily Standards to improve the experience of being in business.

He said: "I feel a special connection to the veterinary world because of the people I have met in the profession and because my daughter is about to embark on a veterinary career, which makes it very personal.”

BSAVA president Professor Ian Ramsey said: “As a profession we tend to hold ourselves to very discerning standards. High levels of burn out and numbers leaving the profession early may be in part linked to a desire for perfectionism as well as a fixed mindset.

“We are delighted to welcome Derek as a keynote and have much to learn from him; not least on the difference between goal setting and daily standards, and the transformational effect this can have on many aspects of our lives.”

Derek Mills will give his keynote speech at BSAVA Congress on Friday 26 March and will be available to answer questions afterwards. The entire recording will then be replayed on Saturday 27 March.
