About Next Step Vet: How to Create a Meaningful Career
Are you lost as to what to do next in your veterinary career?
You’ve been a vet for a number of years and have reached a stage in your career where you know you’re not satisfied and you need change.
But you feel financially trapped, and you're probably unaware of other career options, especially close to where you live.
Where on earth do you even start?
I'm here to help.
My name is Steve Oehley and I'm someone just like you.
I'm a veterinarian who struggled in my own career. Changing jobs multiple times, but no matter where I went I found myself unhappy. I noticed something - so many vets are unhappy in their career.
How do you find meaningful work while still paying the bills?
I signed up to life coaching, got career advice, and now have found a healthy balance between clinical vet work, podcasting and career coaching.
I've designed a career that works for me.
And now I'm going to help you do the same.
I discuss my own experiences with career dissatisfaction and burnout as a veterinarian, and offers guidance and strategies for finding more fulfilling work within the field.
This podcast aims to provide a realistic and achievable framework for veterinarians to take the next steps in their careers and to design a career that works for them.
Based on principles of life coaching, the best career advisors in the world, and vets that have already taken the leap.
This is Next Step Vet.
Join us on our journey to a more enjoyable life.

20. There's No Options Near Where I Live - Or So You Think...
Do you sometimes think that if only you were in a different location, or even a different country, there’d be more opportunities for you in your vet career?
What if I told you that your location might not be the barrier you think it is?
Many vets feel trapped by their geographical location, believing it limits their career opportunities. You might think moving to a new location will magically solve your career woes.
But what if the key to a fulfilling veterinary career lies not in the 'where' but in the 'how' and 'what' of your work?
Location is Not the Limiting Factor in Your Career You Think It Is.
In today’s episode, you’re going to find out why.
-
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why location is not the limiting factor you think it is.
The three main things you need in a job in order to experience a fulfilling veterinary career - no matter where you live.

YOUR NEXT STEP: Take a Small Risk
Take a social risk, by striking up a conversation with a stranger, more specifically, reach out to people in areas that interest you, both locally and in the wider region.
Take an intellectual risk. Try something new, a problem you haven’t tackled before. Maybe by doing a surgery out of your comfort zone, taking up a new responsibility at work, or learning a new skill in your free time.
Take an emotional risk. Tell someone you care about how you feel. It might be as simple as sending a message to an industry or government vet to say how grateful you were to receive their support.

19. "I'm Stuck Being a Clinical Vet..." Why There's More Options Than You Think...
You’re a vet considering alternative options for your veterinary career.
You’re finding yourself exhausted at the end of each day of work, with barely enough energy to cook dinner, let alone the energy for hobbies and those closest to you.
You’re stressed, you’re lacking confidence in your decisions, and your mental health is suffering as a result.
You’re wondering, is this it?
How do you find an alternative option for your career, when all you’ve ever done is be a vet?
You are what you do every day, and if what you do every day is non-stop filled with being a vet, it’s very difficult to look in the mirror and not only see a vet.
And the problem with that is, if you combine that with a downward spiral of lack of energy, stress, and reduced happiness, it leads to you considering leaving clinical practice, but they’re paying you too much for you to leave.
But what if there ARE not only alternatives for your veterinary career, but a realistic path to get there?
-
In this episode you’ll learn:
How to identify your transferable skills from your veterinary career
How to mind-map alternative options for your veterinary career
And a secret ingredient that will turn your skills and career alternatives into genuine job opportunities
