You heard me mention how much I enjoyed the Global Veterinary Career Summit back in Episode 8 when I interviewed Dr. Melanie Barham. She, along with Dr. Ebony Escalona and Dr. Emma Davis, put together this virtual summit in June of 2020. They are currently offering listeners a BOGO deal - during the month of December you will get a ticket to watch all of the 2020 sessions AND a ticket to the upcoming 2021 GVCS (October 21-23!) Also, you will be receive a 25% discount when you use the code WHOLEVET. Have a listen to hear more about the ways in which this summit can serve all veterinarians! https://www.globalveterinarycareersummit.com/
Hey there, it's Dr. Stacey Cordivano. I want veterinarians to learn to be happier, healthier, wealthier and more grateful for the life that we've created. On this podcast, I will speak with outside of the box thinkers to hear new ideas on ways to improve our day to day life. Welcome to The Whole Veterinarian. Hey, everyone, I just wanted to check in and say hi. I hope you are all getting ready for a great holiday season. I hope it's not going to be too stressful with all the added layers this year. I'm not sure that's possible, but that's my hope for you. I also am here to tell you a little bit more about an awesome opportunity that I was presented with. The organizers of the Global Veterinary Career Summit reached out to me to offer a discount to their summit. So you might remember in episode eight, I spoke with Dr. Melanie Burnham, about her involvement with the global veterinary career summit. That's actually how I met her and how our interview came about. But she along with Dr. Emma Davis and Dr. Ebony Escalona created this virtual summit this past June. And I just wanted to give you a little bit more information about it and about the offer that they are giving to my listeners. So they created this virtual summit, aimed at bringing together the world's experts and a huge community with tangible ways to build a career that you love that fits your current life right at this moment. All of the sessions were super brief. They had minimal slides so they can easily be integrated into your real life like when you're folding laundry or exercising. And they're accessible via this really easy to use app called Whova. Over 1100 professionals attended the summit this past summer, they were from all around the globe. Speakers featured big names like Cody creelman, Sara Boston, Dave nickel, even a National Geographic Explorer. And many of the participants have used their new skills from the sessions to get new jobs, negotiate raises make new connections. I have to say I have connected with a ton of awesome people. Several of my guests from the upcoming season of this podcast are people that I've met through the summit. I also just wanted to go over a couple of the sessions that I found really useful. There was a leading social media talk that was really great. They had an equine stay go or diversify career session. Let's see... helping vets avoid stress and burnout. That was a great session. There were just like so many topics. I'm just like looking through the list...repurposing my veterinary degree, making the move into medical writing just like a ton of different discussions that you don't normally find that you know, your run of the mill CE meeting. There was also a diversity and inclusion panel i thought was great. Anyway, when I was given the opportunity to give you guys this offer, I jumped on it, because I wholeheartedly believe that this is a great value. So what the organizers are doing is that they are offering on demand tickets for this year's summit. They're also bringing a little holiday cheer, and they are offering a buy one, get one. So that means if you use the code, you will get 25% off this year's ticket. Those sessions are good through next June. And then also, you will get a ticket for next year's summit. So that is taking place October 21 through 23rd 2021. So if you use the code WHOLEVET you will get a ticket for this year's summit, which you can watch through June. And then you will also get a ticket for next year's summit. And you will get that at 25% off. So it's currently offered at 99 Great British pounds. So it's like a little more money American dollars. Also, if you've purchased a ticket already this year, but you want to get a ticket to next year's event with the 25% off code, you will then get a ticket to gift to a friend. So they're being super generous. The organizers really just want to get this content out there. It's been so helpful to other people. This deal is only available in December, and they've only released 300 tickets. So I would definitely suggest jumping on it. I will say that I am earning a small affiliate sales fee. So when you use the code WHOLEVET what that means is that you're getting two great conferences and a ton of content. But you are also helping to support the show in a really big way. And that means a lot to me. I very much appreciate that. Okay, so I just want to recap once you buy the ticket you have access to 17 hours of race approved CE. there are 166 sessions designed to help you grow your career. There are over 50 hours of content from this past summit. With over 200 speakers. There's an exclusive LinkedIn group that has the speakers and other ticket holders in it. They're also holding quarterly meetup groups with other participants for accountability and networking, super fun. There's a ton of ways to get involved. And in case the 200 speakers and 50 hours sound overwhelming, I will just say that my interactions with the speakers have been more in depth than any other conference I've attended. I guess it's just something about who they picked and the accessibility in the app, I cannot recommend it enough. So if you want more information, go to www.globalveterinarycareersummit.com. And remember to use the code WHOLEVET to get 25% off the ticket price and the buy one get one. And yeah, that's it. Thank you for listening. And I hope you check it out. Even if you don't need some CE, you might find something that sparks something in you. Hopefully you have some downtime around the holidays. That might be laughable. But if you do or if you have a little downtime early next year, I would definitely suggest jumping on this deal. And, you know, my whole goal here is to expose you guys to as many areas of content for personal and professional development that I possibly can. And I feel like this is a really great opportunity for that. So I hope you guys have a happy holiday. I am so looking forward to getting back to releasing full episodes in January. I have a bunch of great interviews lined up. So I will talk to you guys soon. Bye.
