The contemporary veterinary workforce represents a mix of generations, backgrounds, and values, serving an increasingly diverse animal-owning client population. The <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/diversity-equity-inclusion\/breaking-barriers-to-veterinary-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spectrum of possible clinical care options<\/a> has never been greater, and students are taught increasingly high-tech clinical practices. For the new graduate and those supporting them, this means a transition into a complex world of greater decision making, financial considerations, and social and cultural sensitivity than they have ever faced before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Historically, veterinary schools and their accreditors focused on the medicine and surgery of \u201cday 1\u201d clinical practice. However, the complexities of practice mean that additional noncognitive skills are vital for a veterinarian\u2019s professional success and satisfaction. These include the empathy and humanism required to communicate and contextualize care for a diverse client population, and the emotional intelligence and self-regulation required to manage the moral dissonance that occurs when one\u2019s clinical decisions deviate from their personal beliefs and preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The capacity to remain open to learning and to regulate one\u2019s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is important when experiencing professional stretch, and yet most educators would agree that engaging students and practitioners in this aspect of their development is an ongoing challenge. There are many reasons why this is the case.<sup>1,2<\/sup> Fortunately, there is much we can borrow from the business, psychology, and education literature about developing confident and competent professionals. We know, for example, that <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/best-practices-for-training-veterinary-nurses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adults learn best<\/a> in environments where they can observe and experiment freely, applying their learning to solve real-world problems in a social environment of physical comfort and <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/psychological-safety-in-veterinary-hospitals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">psychological safety<\/a>.<sup>3,4<\/sup> With this in mind, the veterinary workplace has the potential to offer new graduates exactly the environment they need to continue to develop their \u201cwhole-veterinarian\u201d skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite growing appreciation of, and therefore investment in, the idea of developing and supporting the \u201cwhole\u201d practitioner, veterinarians and veterinary nurses\/technicians continue to report low levels of professional satisfaction and wellbeing, and recruitment and retention of new graduates have become a profession-wide concern.<sup>5,6 <\/sup>The modern veterinary practice is busy, with increasing demands for veterinary care; cost-of-living concerns that heighten financial pressures (both for clients and for the practice); and seemingly few opportunities for colleagues to take time to interact to discuss challenges, assess difficult cases, or engage in nonwork talk. These issues place significant individual and sociocultural barriers to learning and growth. This article suggests that coaching and <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/personal-professional-development\/the-evolution-of-mentorship-for-veterinary-professionals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mentoring<\/a> interventions, when applied in a supportive culture, might provide some relief to frustrated and disillusioned veterinary teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">What Are the Options?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are numerous articles and textbooks on the \u201cdoing\u201d of professional development (many are to be found within this journal<sup>7<\/sup> and the reference list at the end of this article), and regulatory bodies have started to formalize professional development as part of the new graduate\u2019s transition into the veterinary workplace.<sup>8,9<\/sup> Career coaching and mentoring, as a strategy to support individual and team learning, is increasing in popularity, and the veterinary profession is catching up with and learning from some of the earlier adopters, such as the business and sporting worlds.<sup>8,10,11<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Coaching and mentoring have much in common in that they are both concerned with creating an environment where people can undertake high-quality thinking around specific (and often challenging) aspects of professional life.<sup>12<\/sup> Some important differences between coaching and mentoring are that mentors are chosen for their discipline-specific expertise (coaches are most often discipline-neutral), and mentoring is more likely to be undertaken altruistically and over longer periods (<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>TABLE 1<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">). One intervention is not necessarily \u201cbetter\u201d than the other. Rather, the approach taken should be the best fit for the development needs of the individual or team. If discipline-specific guidance and expertise is required, funding is limited, and\/or workplace vertical connections need bolstering, then mentoring could be the best fit. Alternatively, if there is a more general requirement for mindset and behavioral change around \u201cbeing\u201d a professional, if nonveterinary role modeling is sought, and if funding is available, then coaching might be the preferred choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34219\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2053\" height=\"906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1.jpg 2053w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1-1024x452.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1-768x339.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1-1536x678.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table1-2048x904.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2053px) 100vw, 2053px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Implementation and Engagement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is a wealth of information and guidance available to those interested in receiving coaching or mentoring,<sup>13,14<\/sup> developing their coaching and mentoring skills,<sup>12,15 <\/sup>or implementing schemes within the workplace.<sup>16,17<\/sup> The issue is then not \u201cwhat to do?\u201d but identifying the drivers and barriers to engagement in coaching and mentoring initiatives in our own workplace.<sup>16<\/sup> We know that engagement with learning is impacted by individual and sociocultural factors,<sup>18<\/sup> and we may therefore need to work on both in order to maximize chances of success. For example, we are aware that the characteristics and skills that increase the likelihood of making it through veterinary school (e.g., hyper-focus, overwork, stoicism, altruism) can act in direct opposition to sustaining professional wellbeing,<sup>19<\/sup> and new graduates experiencing that friction could benefit from time spent revisiting embedded drivers and values with a coach or mentor in order to incorporate and prioritize personal learning in their daily decision-making activities. Similarly, those entering the profession with an existing commitment to self-care might struggle in a culture that models and rewards presenteeism and unrestricted caseloads. Individual coaching or mentoring could help this person gain insight into the source of their discomfort, but it may be, in this case, that workplace culture would be a more productive focus of attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Workplace Culture<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Coaching and mentoring of new graduates do not necessarily need to be structured or implemented in a formal way. It can instead be a commitment to cultural changes that mean a change in mindset (e.g., how we work, what \u201cgood\u201d looks like) or approaches to team interaction (e.g., prioritizing the planning of time for colleagues to meet rather than a day filled with patient appointments that leaves colleagues working largely in isolation) (<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>TABLE 2<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34220\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2038\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2.jpg 2038w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2-1024x379.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2-768x285.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/DavisArmitage-Chan_TVPJulAug24_CoachingMentoring_Table2-1536x569.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2038px) 100vw, 2038px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These work culture changes are championed by individuals with the aim of bringing about positive sociocultural change to the whole practice.<sup>17<\/sup> This type of approach is particularly important when practice cultures are acting in opposition to workplace development or wellbeing.<sup>19<\/sup> Clutterbuck et al recommend \u201cembedding\u201d a coaching and mentoring culture so that it becomes the way of thinking about, rewarding, and doing business.<sup>17<\/sup> This includes encouraging, rewarding, and recognizing coaching and mentoring at all levels across the business. Training internal coaches and mentors goes some way toward achieving this goal because more and more team members become accustomed to the basic conversational tools that stimulate a mindset of learning and growth. Additionally, in creating time and space for others to think well, we must first create this time and space for ourselves. The internal volunteers cannot help but develop self-insight and healthy practices as a direct result of facilitating this in others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Take-Home Message<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The sociocultural environment of the veterinary practice\/profession profoundly impacts a new graduate\u2019s capacity to grow into their profession.<sup>20<\/sup> No amount of individual resilience or coach\/mentor skill will be sufficient to withstand or undo the damage done by a chronically stressful and overwhelming workplace, and no workplace culture on its own should take responsibility for the workplace experiences of its individuals. The truth is that we all play a role in determining the sociocultural environment of our workplace and can therefore all impact whether or not it is an environment that drives or limits learning. The new graduate transition is therefore a whole-team effort, and it starts with being open, curious, and intentionally optimistic about how individuals and teams relate, communicate, and operate together. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching and mentoring interventions, when applied in a supportive workplace culture, may provide some relief to frustrated and
