These challenges weren’t covered in veterinary school.
No one taught you how to slow down when it feels like your day in the clinic is racing out of control.
Constant, stressful events in the clinic trigger your emotions.
Adrenaline kicks in. Anxiety, frustration, and anger build, and your mind starts to race.
Your mind gets fuzzy, making it hard to perform to the best of your ability.
And at the end of the day, you wonder how much longer you can keep this up.
As hard as it is, it’s a normal, shared experience for new veterinarians.
And there is a way to overcome it.
While you can’t control all of the unexpected stress of the veterinary environment, you can control how you respond to it.
But here’s the good news.
Learn to pace yourself,
and reclaim your power.
The Power of Pacing® is a simple technique taught through a private coaching process which helps you slow down during your work day and:
RECOGNIZE what’s triggering your stress.
REPLACE the mental script that’s racing through your mind.
REFOCUS on the task in front of you.
This isn’t therapy, and there’s no mystery about it. It’s a repeatable technique used to reframe stressful moments and take back your day.
Life-changing
and valuable
“As a new graduate starting in a busy 24-hour practice, I had all of the apprehensive feelings, including very real imposter syndrome.
Looking back on my lessons with Dr. Rogatz, it was the first time not only in my career, but in life in general, that anyone had suggested that these were actually normal human reactions - that happened to everyone.
I have been told that I “handle stress well” both personal and professionally. Some of the most life-changing and valuable applications of this information have happened outside of my professional career.”
—Second Year Veterinary School Graduate
Happiest I’ve been
in my career
“When I met Dr. Rogatz, fresh out of a brutal 1-year internship, I had learned a lot, but he made me the veterinarian I am today.
Since learning The Power of Pacing, I find myself “listening” more, to my inner self before I react and also listening to how others are handling their stress or bad day.
The Power of Pacing is a program the veterinary community needs in the midst of a mental health crisis. I learned to love being a veterinarian again. I am now the happiest I’ve been in my career.”
—Early Career Veterinarian
Here’s how The Power of Pacing® program works.
It’s an 18-month journey to transformation, but don’t let that overwhelm you. This private coaching process is designed for busy veterinarians and only requires a handful of sessions to complete.
1. Overcome one thing.
For the first four months, we meet monthly to teach you how to gain control over one, stressful triggering event you face every day.
2. Overcome the rest!
For the next fourteen months, we meet quarterly to help you gain control of the other daily stresses you face at work and beyond.
3. Thrive!
No more feeling exhausted and defeated at the end of the day. Instead, you’ll maintain a steady pace and reclaim the joy which brought you here to begin with.
The Power of Pacing® doesn’t replace clinical mentorship; it makes it more effective.
Dr. Rogatz know what it’s like to feel like things are spinning out of control.
Your coach, Dr. William Rogatz, was the owner of a 24/7/365 general, referral, and emergency Veterinary Hospital that employed up to 15 Veterinarians and 35 support staff.
He saw the stress of practice mounting in his life and in that of his staff, so he spent 11 years researching and developing The Power of Pacing® system.
Veterinarians see huge improvements in their ability to manage stress both inside and outside of the work environment. Several participants have even found the confidence to open their own practice and cite The Power of Pacing® as a key part of that journey.
