Leadership That Actually Works in Veterinary Medicine
I don’t teach leaders to care more.
Veterinary Professionals already care … deeply.
I teach them how leadership actually works inside real hospitals, with real pressure, real people and real consequences.
Most veterinary leadership struggles aren’t caused by bad people or broken values. They’re caused by unclear systems, untrained leaders, and behaviors that were never intentionally taught.
That’s the work I do.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
This is not inspirational leadership content.
This is leadership retraining.
My talks are:
Grounded in real veterinary hospital dynamics
Evidence-based, not trendy
Focused on behavior and systems, not personality
Practical enough to use the next day
Honest, Human, and direct
I don’t tell people to “be better leaders.”
I show them what to do differently.

WHO MY TALKS ARE FOR
My work is designed for veterinary audiences who are tired of theory and ready for clarity.
I speak to:
Veterinary conferences and associations
Practice owners, executives, and leadership teams
Mixed-role audiences (Doctors, Credentialed Veterinary Technicians, Managers, Students, Client Service Representatives…)
Organizations navigate burnout, growth, or cultural strain
If your audience wants motivation, I’m not the right fit. If they want change, I am.
ABOUT SUZANNE
I’m Suzanne Thomas, a Credentialed Veterinary Technologist with over 15 years of experience in clinical, operational, and leadership roles. I’m the founder of LVT.vet and the creator of the Certified Veterinary Leader program. I work with veterinary hospitals and organizations to retrain leadership at a structural level. If someone misunderstood my work, they might think it’s theoretical. It isn’t. It’s built for the hospital you’re walking into tomorrow
FINAL WORD
Leadership was never supposed to feel this heavy.
We’re not here to fix people. We’re here to fix the system.
When leadership works, everything else gets lighter.
Let’s Go!

Ready to Book Suzanne?
If you’re looking for a speaker to hype your audience up, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for someone who can help your people see leadership differently, behave differently, and build systems that actually work, we should talk.
Suzanne’s sessions are best suited for organizations and conferences that are ready for clarity, not comfort.
This IS A Good Fit If:
Your audience is tired of vague leadership advice
You want practical tools, not theory
You’re ready to talk honestly about behavior, accountability, and culture
You want attendees to leave knowing what to do on Monday
You’re willing to challenge outdated leadership norms in veterinary medicine
This is Probably NOT a Fit if:
You want purely motivational or inspirational content
You’re looking for surface-level wellness talks
You want leadership to “feel better” without changing behavior
You’re not ready to disrupt how leadership has always been done
