Sound familiar?

You built your career on clinical excellence, but leading your team feels like a completely different job no one prepared you for. You find yourself managing the same people problems on repeat, carrying far more than your share, and wondering why your team doesn't just get it the way you do.

It's not a team problem. It's a leadership gap, and it's not your fault.

Veterinary training is world-class at producing exceptional clinicians. It rarely produces confident, equipped leaders.

That's exactly what this workshop changes.

What You'll Gain

Three Shifts That Change How You Lead

Every session builds towards these outcomes for you, your team, and your practice.

Lead with Confidence, Not Just Clinical Skill

You didn't get a leadership manual when you took on your role, and yet your team's performance, morale, and retention depend on how you show up as their leader.

You'll discover the core leadership foundations that shift how your team sees you, responds to you, and follows your direction, giving you the confidence to lead from the front, not just manage from behind.

Because great leaders aren't born, they're built.

Build a Team That Runs Without You Carrying It

"If I don't do it, it won't get done."

If you've said this, or thought it, you're not alone. Most vet leaders are doing three jobs: clinician, manager, and firefighter.

You'll learn the practical communication frameworks and accountability systems that help your team take genuine ownership, so you can step back from the daily grind and spend your energy where it counts.

Less micromanaging. More momentum. More of your life back.

Create a Clinic Culture That Attracts and Keeps Great People

Staff turnover in veterinary practice is one of the most costly, exhausting challenges practice owners face. But retention isn't a recruitment problem. It's a leadership and culture problem.

You'll understand the invisible dynamics that drive team satisfaction, discover what your team actually needs to thrive, and learn how to build a workplace where great people choose to stay and do their best work.

A clinic your team loves is a clinic your clients will love too.

The One Big Promise

In four focused sessions, you'll gain the leadership clarity, communication tools, and cultural foundations to go from clinician-in-charge to the confident, respected leader your practice needs, and your team deserves.

What You'll Learn

Four Webinars, One Leadership Foundation

Delivered live, one per week, 60 minutes each. Every session builds on the last, so by the end you're not holding four ideas, you're holding one complete way of leading.

  1. Webinar One

    The Economy Versus Your Economy

    Understand the leadership environment: the vision, beliefs, culture, and standards that actually shape your business (not the ones you wish you had).

  2. Webinar Two

    Technology Trends

    Build systems and processes that turn vision into practical pathways for your practice. Stop reinventing the wheel every day.

  3. Webinar Three

    Business Health

    Implementation excellence: the actions and conversations that drive results in your veterinary business. This is where strategy becomes reality.

  4. Webinar Four

    The Human Side of Success

    People development: building high-performing teams and creating a culture where people actually want to stay.

About Your Host

Meet Larry van Niekerk

Larry is a veterinary leadership and practice development coach, and the founder of VetSquared InnoVet, working with independent veterinary practice owners across New Zealand, Australia, and Southern Africa.

With a background built at the intersection of clinical practice and people development, Larry brings something rare to the world of veterinary coaching: deep insider credibility combined with hard-won expertise in leadership, team culture, and sustainable practice growth.

He knows first-hand what it feels like to be a highly skilled vet professional placed in a leadership role without a roadmap, and he's built his work around making sure other vet professionals don't have to navigate that journey alone.

Certified Meta Dynamics™ Practitioner Trained Coach Regular Veterinary Conference Speaker

His clients are independent practice owners who want to build businesses that set them free, not trap them.

"My mission is simple: to help veterinary practice owners become the kind of leaders their teams actually want to follow, so the whole practice thrives."
Larry van Niekerk

What Vets Say

Trusted by Practice Owners Like You

From vets who've done this work with Larry, in their own words.

I have been working with Larry for a few months. With his help and coaching I have navigated pricing and financial decisions, tough conversations and set systems in place at my Veterinary Clinic. This has resulted in my team utilising their skills and growing, while I learn to step back and lead. Together Larry and I have achieved a lot in a short time and the practice is transforming. Thank you Larry, I'm now enjoying owning my clinic.
Dr Tania Govan Veterinarian
The mentorship course is so much more than a business skills course. It is a life management and self-awareness mirror. He helped me find the courage to make uncomfortable business decisions that I was too scared or too timid to make, and emboldened me to set professional goals that were bigger than I had imagined. The best part about working with Larry is that he cares and wants you to win, not just in business but in all aspects of life as well.
Dr Ida Mulenga Veterinarian
