Feb 9th, 2026 • josh@kicksdigital.com •

Avoiding a conversation you know you need to have?

Ever avoid a conversation because you don’t want it to feel awkward, confrontational, or personal? In this free, interactive workshop, Dr. Emily King will break down what actually makes a conversation “crucial” in veterinary medicine and how to handle it with clarity, confidence, and professionalism.

You’ll learn practical, real-world tactics you can use the same day, including:

  • How to recognize when a conversation has crossed into crucial conversation territory
  • Common examples of high-stakes conversations in veterinary practice (and why they go sideways)
  • One clear, repeatable strategy to handle a difficult conversation without making it weird
  • How to speak up honestly while protecting relationships and team trust
Simple language shifts that reduce defensiveness and improve outcomes
Whether you’re addressing performance issues, setting boundaries, or navigating tension on your team, this workshop will give you tools to communicate clearly—without overthinking or over-explaining.

Stay out of the doghouse and in the know.
