This week we are honoring the often unsung heroes of a veterinary clinic, the veterinary receptionists or CSRs! … Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT have a “Conversation of Celebration” detailing the many amazing and inspiring abilities of the front desk support staff that allow vets and vet techs to be their best! … Dr. Ward marvels at how veterinary receptionists are able to recognize pets by their family’s cars! He also explains how receptionists/CSRs CSRs represent the clinic personality, mission, and standards and are integral to client loyalty. He also explains why we need to train and pay our receptionists better. … Beckie shares her recent experiences taking both her sister’s and her own dog the vet and how a receptionist really made her feel welcome. … Dr. Ward shares why he believes our receptionists are so essential to a successful client experience because “they own:” * The client’s first impression * The first smile * The first “Hello” * Are asked the first question * The last goodbye * The client's last question * Provide the last reminder … Viewfinders, this week we hope you’ll take time to celebrate and recognize your clinic’s “Jack or Jill of All Trades.” Our veterinary receptionist are true multitaskers and multi-disciplinarians. Every day, they deal with conflict management, sometimes serve as grief counselors, and are responsible for emergency triage. All while answering phones, billing out, scheduling, and fetching meds - ALL WITH A SMILE! I’m exhausted reading this! … Viewfinders, let us know how you’re celebrating National Veterinary Receptionist Week!

August 26, 2020 Tap tap tap. Knock knock knock. You there? Hello? Are you home? It’s extremely difficult not to be overtaken by the existence of news headlines. Now pour the poison over our invisible wounds by journalists designed to redirect the masses. The physical evidence is there! Each news outlet has its own agenda. Research gifts their paths of forward motion with the viewers and listeners they need to gain access to great ratings. The rest of us stand on the outside trying to pick which story best suits our mindset. I’ve tried to go the route of checking in with all sides of the objective. Every website from newspaper to podcasters. I figure if we sit somewhere in the middle we’re going to be safe. On this podcast episode an encounter with a baby fawn serves as a symbol of who we honestly might be during these massively out of control times. The fawn was darting around my forest like a wild child at 4:30 this morning. I never saw its mother. Normally I do because she runs toward my dog and I. Doing all she can to protect her baby. I didn’t see her. We were within the trees a very long time. Then it occurred to me. There’s no way this fawn exists. In my 28 years of knowing this forest this sort of thing has never happened so there’s no way this is happening. It has to be God playing early morning message games. When we got back in the house the fawn was very heavy on my heart. I compared it to who we as a nation are in 2020. Clueless to the dangers of the world and yet we think we’re strong enough to survive without proper protection. Our confidence and courage are the only value so many of us have left. The eviction letters are being sent out. Homelessness is about to exceed levels we’ve never seen. Businesses are closing and the Governor will probably keep us locked up another five weeks. Getting from plan A to plan B was a tough chore. Working from home. Our kids getting an education on a digital system that keeps failing. The fires of California. Two hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. The protests and the news stories about an asteroid that supposedly is coming pretty close to the earth the day before the elections. Plan C feels like those moments when we’re standing on the ocean shore looking out across that water and we can’t see the land on the other side. They say it’s out there. We’re convinced and confident that these knowledge holders are guiding our ships toward smoother waters. But that fawn this morning said something different to me. I wish we could see what we truly look like. I see your social media pages. The plastic candy coated bathroom mirror smiles. This isn’t who we are. Not when you compare it to the conversations. It’s extremely difficult not to be overtaken by the existence of news headlines. Now pour the poison over our invisible wounds by journalists designed to redirect the masses. We need to break free of the media driven grip and stop playing Let’s Pretend. It’s time to grow forward with a message and stop assuming others have the ability to lead. Guidance requires confidence. It’s ok to admit that we’re dented but we aren’t destroyed. Mentally we’re being redesigned without admitting how much we have left behind. How could we ever forget? Because it feels like everything we do ends up on The Cloud. Do you know the password? Life in 2020 isn’t a game of Chess. It feel like 52 Card Pickup. It’s time to unlock the chambers that which hold the existence of experience and survival.

Little did we (or you, or any other parent in the world) ever imagine the headache smart phones would create in our lives. Do any of these lines sound familiar to you?"Please look at me when we're talking.""You know the rules. No phones at the dinner table.""Why don't you put that thing away and pay attention?""I'm sorry but there is no way you can do homework well and Snapchat all night long.""We never should have given you that thing.""Why don't you pick up when I call?""Hello? Are you there? Can you please for the love of god answer my texts?"We actually thought we could avoid all of these troubles by asking our kids to sign an iPhone contract spelling out where and how they could use their smart phone.

How often does God speak? Is it a rare, one-off event that we look back on and reminisce over? Or is it a normal part of my everyday experience? Some make it sound like God speaks every single day. God said this, God said that. He told me what to wear today. He said, I should do this and go there. It’s like God is saying something new every moment. My immediate response is, I don’t think so. Yet at times I’ve been surprised by just how much he speaks. There have been times when he’s spoken loudly and clearly and repeatedly. There’s a dream, a vision, a scripture, a sermon, a prophecy. It felt like it came when I really needed it. I would say to myself; I didn’t realise God would speak so often! But then there would are times when he says nothing. Absolutely nothing. Hello? Are you there? Is it a bad line? Are we out of range? So how often does God speak? What’s 'normal'? And therefore, what should our expectation be? Today’s podcast brings some thoughts to this interesting question. Listen to discover how often God speaks may relate to when we had our last meal and whether it was KFC or a really good fillet of steak. When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty. (Jeremiah 15:16) Your Thoughts How often does God speak to you? How often would you like him to speak? We'd love to hear your from you!
