Stop Trying to Fix Your Clients

Join The Amys and their extraordinary guest, Lily Hargis, a dog trainer whose work spans both animal behavior consulting and a human medical teaching hospital, where they teach young doctors to lead with empathy in clinical practice. 

The skills used to support animals and their caregivers—listening, emotional awareness, clear communication, and compassion—translate directly into human medicine. Discover how Lily’s degree in Theater led them down this uniquely important path. 

Is empathy a clinical skill? Or a personality trait? How does empathy play a critical role in patient outcomes, team dynamics, and burnout prevention? Can we learn to lead more effectively, communicate more thoughtfully, and care more deeply—without losing ourselves in the process? 

Grab a  cocktail and a snuggle buddy, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees 🐝🐝, on the latest episode of Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.
