Organizations We’ve Worked For
Dr. Courtney balances humanizing “toxic” people and helping us hold them accountable, all in one message. That sense of humanity is what really draws me in.
Josh Vaisman, MAPPCP, CCFP, Practice Management Consultant, Former Practice Owner and ManagerAs a boss, I used a lot of Dr. Courtney’s advice about how to avoid a toxic team culture when we had staff turnover last year and needed to choose who to hire to rebuild our team. Now our hospital team gets along better than ever, which keeps me from slipping into jerk behavior too!
Mike Miller, DVM, Veterinary and Practice OwnerDr. Courtney’s background and expertise have helped me – an extreme introvert – find ways to raise concerns about my workplace with upper-level leaders in a manner that will not make me (or them) feel threatened or entirely out of my comfort zone. She helped me understand that I can improve my workplace’s culture without being the person that has the “final say” in decisions.
Kyle Stevenson, DVM, Associate VeterinarianDr. Courtney isn’t asking anyone to completely overhaul their practices – she suggests realistic, bite-sized changes that create large ripples within a team.
