🚣♀️What’s stopping you from starting to row? Come on now… be really honest when you answer.
If you feel like your drifting or putting something off ask yourself WHY?
👉Are you playing it safe?
Your brain is hard wired to keep you safe so you stay in your comfort zone and don’t challenge status quo.
👉Are you catastrophising?
You can create the most elaborate reasons (excuses) why you should wait and watch the world go by. Do any of these sound familiar?
It’s not the right time... I can’t afford it... I need someone to go with... What will people think... I’m not ready... I’m just too busy... I’m not sure what to do...
✋ I’m here to call time on that thinking!
CHOOSE TO LIVE NOT JUST EXIST!
👇Let me know in the comments if this hits home with you… Let’s start rowing 🚣♀️
So have you started rowing?

When was the last time you took a leap? Tried something new? Trusted the process?
🌟 There’s heap of newness happening for me at the moment and for some of my clients.
You can choose to let it overwhelm you or choose to lean into into. You know which one I’d recommend right? 😂
🌟 This month two people have decided to lean into it and trusted me to be their Coach. Just making that decision can often feel like a leap.
🌟 The first session with a new client is always special and exciting (for them and me).
I encourage you to…
1️⃣ Put yourself on your list of priorities.
2️⃣ Invest time gaining clarity on who you are and how you want to show up.
3️⃣ Listen to your instincts.
💥 Is it time for YOU to start something new?

What a day we had on Saturday! Thank you Lou The Vet Nurse for inviting me to be part of your debut CPD event for veterinary nurses alongside Veterinary Anursethesia.
Your post event reflections are spot on 👍🥰Hello everyone,
It’s taken me all day to gather my thoughts on yesterday. It was such an out-of-body experience (a bit like my wedding day😅) and I still can’t believe that it’s over after so many months of preparation. I loved speaking about my areas of passion alongside Roo The Mojo Coach) & Courtney (Veterinary Anursethesia).
☺️It was so important to me that the vibe was relaxed and informal with plenty of practical advice to take back to practice and use. No hierarchy …. Peer to peer, friend to friend. My favourite part of yesterday was finally getting to meet you all in person. You really can’t beat face-to-face events. Being in a room surrounded by other nurses is just so special, especially when experiences and knowledge are shared. It blew my mind that some of you had travelled all the way from Ireland and Scotland…. And from way up north and wayyyyy down south. It really did mean so much to me that nearly 100 of you made the effort to come!
🦸🏻♀️First up Roo spoke about boosting your self-confidence and managing your imposter mindset. Her talk looked at how we can manage our thoughts to silence those inner gremlins which get in our way and stop us from thriving and acknowledging the amazing work that we do. You can all speak up, share your passion and knowledge…I hope that having Roo’s pearls of wisdom in your head will help you start speaking up more and valuing yourself and your contribution to the workplace.
👩🏻⚕️Next up I spoke about anaesthetic planning and preparation and all the things I used to get in a flap about! We went over how we manage our concerns, communicate better, and encourage discussion to enhance the care we provide to our patients and improve safety too!
👩🏻⚕️Courtney then presented two amazing lectures about multiparameter monitoring focusing on capnography, pulse oximetry, ECGs and blood pressure. If anyone can de-funk the lingo and teach multiparameter monitoring in a fun and easy to understand way it’s Courtney! We both have a synergistic love of nursing and anaesthesia so I’m sure you can see why I invited her to speak alongside me.
#Anaesthesiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.
After lunch I did a talk on Quality Improvement and shared my QI journey. At the start of my talk around 95% of nurses in the room said they didn’t really understand what QI was….. and I know some of you wondered why I chose to add it into the day. By the end pretty much everyone raised their hand to say they ‘got it’ and many were planning on starting their own clinical audits & QI journey in practice. We are perfectly positioned to champion this, so go for it! Your feedback filled me with such joy as it’s an area that is SO IMPORTANT and very rewarding. I hope that at the next congress or event you go to you choose to attend a QI lecture because it really is game-changing in how you approach your day-to-day work. This is the driver for leading and measuring change, providing support, improving patient care, and enhancing team communication and collaboration.
🤩Don’t forget to send in your QI projects in to the RCVS Knowledge awards

Finally, I finished the day talking about maximising your role, schedule 3, delegation, the RCVS legislation reform (our future), protect the title VN, further qualifications and so much more. The world really is your oyster. Speak up, represent, share your knowledge & experience, lead change, value your voice ……..and your opinion! My take home here is that we are all responsible for our professional futures. If you want to upskill and represent, go for it! When we are invited to share our views we must make the effort to do so. #ProtectTheTitleVN
I appreciate this last talk was a little rushed so if anyone would like further clarification or any other questions answered please do send me a DM!
😌Yesterday I shared my personal experiences from the last 18 years (good and bad!) to show that there doesn’t have to be an A to B route for progression. It doesn’t matter where you work, it’s what you do that is important. #NurtureYourNiche and go for it! I tried many different roles different places before I realised who I was and what was 1) most important to me and 2) what made me happy. This is what we need to focus on and evaluate regularly. Don’t worry about what others are doing, what do YOU want to do? Find a workplace (clinical or non-clinical) that has aligned values and culture.
☺️Over the years when I was changing roles and practices people said things that made me feel like my decisions would be a step back, like going from referral back to primary care….. I’ve never EVER felt that way. It was just a step in a different direction. Do what is right for you. Always! If I had stayed doing what I thought I ‘should’ be doing would I have done all the things I have achieved since that are important to me? Probably not. Listen to your heart and let your passion drive you.
🥳After the huge success of my capnography guides which I launched back in 2019, I’ve gone back to the drawing board to create something even better! In March I am launching my new pocket guides for veterinary nurses. It will be like having me in your pocket at work when you need some friendly help. I am SUPER excited about these!
🤩What’s next for VN Spark?
🧐Where should I host the next event? Roadshow?
🧐What would you like to see covered?

I am planning another event for summer 2023, so keep your eyes peeled!

😘So finally, THANK YOU all so much for supporting me in making my big dream a reality. You are all such a supportive bunch of lovely humans and I’m so proud to be a part of our wonderful veterinary nursing community.
Lou x-x-x-x
