Dr. Kirsty Husby, an equine surgeon with an MBA in Organizational Leadership who will soon be pursuing her PhD in Leadership Studies, is our guest this week. She shares how setbacks and career pivots ultimately shaped a more meaningful definition of success. She explains how earning an MBA sparked her interest in organizational leadership and why skills like emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and reflective practice are just as essential as clinical expertise. She also shares how she now combines surgery, mentoring early-career veterinarians, and leadership research to help shape a healthier, more resilient future for the profession.
