1. We Challenge the Status Quo

We ask hard questions and reject outdated systems that harm teams. Leadership isn’t about protecting titles, it’s about creating better ways to support everyone in veterinary medicine.

2. We Lead with Kindness + Integrity

We choose empathy without enabling, kindness without avoidance, and truth over performance. We do what’s right, not what’s easy.

3. We Value Progress Over Perfection

We own our mistakes, learn, and move forward with humility. We grow by stepping outside our comfort zones and into the work of real leadership.

4. We Create Belonging Through Safety + Respect

We protect psychological safety by rejecting gossip, shaming, and bullying. Honest, direct conversations replace toxic positivity, and accountability is always paired with grace.

5. We Take Action Together

We don’t just vent, we fix. We bring solutions, lift each other up, and share success. We know leadership isn’t a solo sport, and our strength is built together.
