🦁 Let’s go wild!

Following the Opening Session on Dec. 8, wildlife veterinarian Dr. Martine van Zijll Langhout will translate survival and teamwork tactics from the African bush into actionable mental strength and leadership tools for the veterinary clinic. 🌍

Through her fieldwork, she discovered how profoundly nature can teach us about being human; and about developing resilience, adaptability and inner strength. 💪
