The Christmas leadership event will also include a sprinkling of festive fun!

Interactive workshop will be led by renowned leadership coach, Jo Woods.
 
Effective delegation and goal setting are set to go under the spotlight at a virtual Christmas event, organised by Veterinary Women in Leadership.

The event, which takes place on Zoom on Wednesday, 8 December (7-9 pm), will also see renowned leadership coach Jo Woods share her top tips for better time management. 

Delegates will receive a Christmas-themed pack and a copy of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. There will also be a sprinkling of festive fun, with some light-hearted moments for all participants to enjoy. 

Veterinary Women in Leadership is a collaboration between Veterinary Women and XLVets. XLVets chief operations officer Kerrie Hedley said:

“We were really keen to host an event that had a strong leadership focus but in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Jo Woods is an incredibly supportive and astute leadership coach. 

“She isn’t afraid to talk from personal experience, and her approach is both inspiring and insightful. We are delighted that she will lend her expertise to the Veterinary Women in Leadership Christmas event.”

The event is open to anyone new to leadership, those who have been in a senior role for many years, or individuals who want to take ownership of their next career move. For more information and to register your place, visit bit.ly/vwilchristmas
