What does it take to create a positive ripple effect? This week on the How to Thrive podcast, we reflect on our recent How to Thrive Vet event, where speakers inspired audiences with practical insights on resilience, leadership, and positivity.

Claire and Helen discuss the "Doctor of Happiness" Andy Cope, who shared lessons on creating "to-be" lists instead of "to-do" lists, as well as the seven-second hug!

They also recap key takeaways from Dr Paul Horwood’s talk on the future of leadership, including catchphrases like "ethics is not a county outside London" and "don't recruit a team of minions".

And Helen shares insights from her own session on civility in the workplace, and how simple acts of kindness and respect can transform workplace culture, reduce stress, and ultimately improve outcomes.
