Comment from Seminar with Referring Veterinary Community: “Katherine Dobbs is an informative speaker who has the ability to captivate her audience with practical and relevant information.”
~Jim Thompson
Practice Manager
Oakland Veterinary Referral Services, Michigan
“As a brand new practice, we were starting from ground zero. Katherine took time to understand our individual practice philosophy. She then tailored the specific HR tools that we needed. This allowed us to maximize our efficiency with often daunting and very time consuming tasks such as establishing job descriptions for all positions within the practice, recruiting and interviewing processes, orientation for new hires, and conducting 360-degree team performance appraisals.
One area that we have really found useful is Katherine’s expertise and guidance in objectively evaluating a team member’s ‘soft skills’. This is often extremely challenging, but with the reviews Katherine created we are able to truly give our staff specific and useful coaching to improve those skills.
Her past experience and passion for HR are clearly evident through the one on one guidance she has provided our management team while establishing solid HR systems.”

“The Human-Animal Bond”
in Novi, Michigan, on Saturday October 10th, 2009:
“Ms. Dobbs is a dynamic speaker. Her talks on compassion fatigue and client communication are not only eye-opening, but inspiring. We were fortunate enough to have her present at our MAVT (Michigan Association of Veterinary Technicians) annual Fall conference. She was a resounding hit. I cannot wait to have her back!”
