The power of saying no
Episode 177, Mar 08, 2023, 10:00 PM
After seeing team after team struggle with staff morale, hospital after hospital face financial challenges, and too many incredible but disheartened veterinary professionals leave the field, Dr. Ingrid Pyka concentrates on implementing much-needed change in our ever-evolving veterinary profession.
Earning her DVM from Colorado State University and furthering her business training at Purdue University, Ingrid has owned her own practice, worked as an associate and relief veterinarian, as well as held executive management roles in large corporate and non-profit hospitals. In 2011, she established IBP Consulting Services LCC to guide effective and profitable strategies. More recently, she founded VetMatch with a focus to reduce burnout and bring like-minded veterinary professionals back together - strong.
A two-time TEDx Speaker, multi-award winning and internationally recognized author, Dr. Pyka promotes high-level communication pathways and effective tools. She embraces the multitude of perspectives, and, now collaborates extensively with corporate and private veterinary leaders and teams for general, specialty/emergency and mobile practices and the quickly emerging field of telemedicine. Owners/investors, managers, individual veterinary professionals alike rave about her interactive approach to establish efficient, productive and happy teams. “Long-term success of the veterinary profession (or any industry for that matter) builds from individual physical, mental and financial wellness,” says Ingrid.
Ingrid remains active in veterinary academia (currently a facilitator in Colorado State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital well-being programming). Her passions also include supporting younger generations to a more empowered future. She is the immediate past-President of Imagination StoryBooks, a non-profit supporting global literacy with vision- and hearing-impaired as well as other learning challenged children.
When not actively traveling for trainings and “exploring the world,” Ingrid resides in Colorado with her two cats Bert (aka Berticus or Albert) and Harvey (aka - Harvard).
