In veterinary medicine, finding ways to communicate the wisdom you've learned from years in practice can be essential to your success.

Yet, wisdom can be difficult to demonstrate or convey, especially when you want to draw upon it to support clients during emotional times. Presented as advice, it can seem arrogant and pushy. Expressed with too much sentiment, it can be 'preachy' or cliché.

Wisdom can be thought of as the non-technical skills, knowledge, and aptitudes you've learned from experience rather than books. Wisdom is personal. It's what makes you you. As a veterinarian or a member of an animal health care team, it's often your own brand of wisdom that endears you to your clients and co-workers.
