Drs. Natasha Wilks and Kate Clarke

BVSc DipCoaching CAPP / BVSc (Hons) MANZCVS MBA
Dr Natasha Wilks is a Veterinarian with over 20 years experience working predominantly in small animal practice in Australia and the UK. Natasha completed her Executive Coach training in 2007 and is also a certified Social and Emotional Intelligence Coach. Natasha completed a Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology in 2017 and is a facilitator in the B3 Bounce Back Better Resilience Program. Natasha has presented at many veterinary conferences and works with clients and veterinary teams in Australia and throughout the world via her training and online programs. Natasha is also a speaker for Beyondblue. Natasha created High Performance Vets to help veterinarians reach their full potential in their career. Being successful in practice involves more than professional skills. Veterinarians must also develop a growth mindset, be resilient in the face of many challenges, learn to manage stress and their time, build rapport with clients, have excellent communication and leadership skills and fit well within a team. It’s no wonder veterinarians lose their passion for practice. Natasha is passionate about utilising neuroscience, coaching and positive psychology principles to help veterinarians develop the skills to overcome the many challenges in our profession as well as improve their wellbeing to thrive, personally and professionally. Natasha still enjoys small animal practice and works two days each week using everything she teaches. This results in high energy, productive days, loving her clients and the team while enjoying satisfaction and fulfilment in practice. Kate’s passion for empowering individuals and teams led to a deep interest in the psychology of HR management, leadership, strategic organisational change, communications and consumer behaviour. She has a Master’s degree in Business Administration, over 20 years experience as a GP vet in regional Australia and the UK and Membership of the ANZCVS in Small Animal Medicine. In addition to leading development of the Sustainable Veterinary Careers initiative, Kate currently serves in regulatory, consulting and advocacy roles including on the Victorian Vet Board, AVBC’s Sustainable Practice Committee, as founder of Engaged Solutions, as an AVA graduate mentor and as the Policy Council Advisor for the AVA’s Veterinary Business Group, tasked with developing the AVA’s new Great Workplaces Policy.
