"I dream of a world in
which every veterinary
professional feels fulfilled in their work, each and every day"
CoFounder & Lead Consultant
Josh Vaisman, MAPPCP, CCFP
Leading a veterinary hospital is friggin’ hard work, and Josh understands the
struggle first-hand. He has been a proud member of the veterinary community
since 1998. In 2009, he took the leap into practice management and
ownership, and continued in those roles in two small-animal hospitals until
2018.
A lifetime optimist and overall “happy guy,” Josh was shocked to find himself
feeling spent, alone, and crying over breakfast while his surprised wife looked
on with disbelief. Recognizing he had burnt himself out, he made the difficult
decision to step away and recapture his authentic self.
Since then he’s dedicated his professional trajectory to elevating veterinary
staff and teams so they can authentically flourish in their work.
To that end he’s obtained certificates in areas such as Positive Psychology,
Workplace Culture, and Building Effective Teams and a Masters
level education in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology. He co-founded
Flourish Veterinary Consulting LLC to bring the knowledge he's obtained to life.
Josh lives in Colorado with his amazing wife, 3 insane parrots, 2 rescue pups who occasionally share the king-sized bed, a 7 lb cat known as the “Golden Child,” some
fish tanks and a few beehives. In his free time, he enjoys teaching about
beekeeping, playing indoor soccer, and dreaming about moving to Kauai.
