## Resource

Dr. Kat Sutherland (PhD), assistant professor at the Ontario Veterinary College, joins Dr. Andy Roark to tackle a question every new grad wrestles with, how do you speak up and create change without feeling like you’re overstepping? In this episode, they dive into change management for early career veterinarians, unpacking the real barriers like confidence dips, imposter syndrome, and unclear communication skills. You’ll hear practical strategies for getting buy-in from your team, navigating resistance, and advocating for yourself without burning bridges.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, hesitant, or unsure how to lead as a new doctor, this conversation will leave you feeling more grounded, capable, and ready to take thoughtful action.
