Self-awareness\, personal accountability\, and relationship cultivation have been foundational as Jose navigates his career and life outside of work. At his first job with one of the largest animal shelters in the Arizona\, Jose learned the importance of developing emotional intelligence\, communication\, and people skills to build meaningful relationships that inspire and motivate people to work better together. In 2017\, after a decade of working to transform that organization\, Jose joined Best Friends Animal Society\, a national nonprofit organization where he served as the first Senior Director of People and Culture. \nAt Best Friends\, Jose was responsible for leading dynamic teams\, including Human Resources\, Learning and Staff Development\, Employee Experience\, and Organizational Culture initiatives\, and served as a strategic advisor to the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Team. Through collaboration\, change\, and innovative management\, Jose and his team stewarded a workplace culture that was employee- and value-centric. These efforts positioned Best Friends to win multiple Top Workplace Awards since 2020. \nIn 2023\, Jose launched Hatching\, a company centered around helping people #LiveBetter and #WorkBetter. Hatching’s vision is to create a more peaceful world by helping people live with more compassion\, gratitude\, and self-worth.  The goal of Hatching is to help people and organizations leverage their unique experiences and potential to make the workplace an environment where people can thrive. Jose believes that\, together\, we will make the world a better place by leading with intention\, authenticity\, and personal accountability. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYrc-yrqTwoEtUp4AzxOVdkbn59y7qpspQm#/registration

SUMMARY:National Shelter Medicine Rounds – 11/14/23 – Implementing More Positive\, Resource-based Field Services Operations – UW Shelter Medicine Program
DESCRIPTION:The University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program is excited to announce the next installment of National Shelter Medicine Rounds! \nNational Rounds is a platform for discussion of current topics relevant to shelter medicine for continued learning and collaboration.  While primarily intended or shelter veterinarians\, others interested in shelter medicine are welcome to join; we believe everyone will take something away from these calls!  The national rounds call will take place Tuesday\, November 14 from 2:30 to 3:30 Central Time. \nAs discussed during our rounds conversation in August\, if we really want to change the experiences of the animals and the people we serve\, we need to think outside our shelter walls or the foster homes that make up our rescues.  \nJoin us for a continuation of the discussion on the connection between equity\, well-being\, resources\, and capacity. \nWe are grateful to have two guests join us for rounds next week. Angela Rayburn is the Operations Manager overseeing Field Services at Chicago Animal Care and Control and AJ Caldwell is a National Shelter Support Specialist with Best Friends Animal Society and comes to that role with a background of being an officer in municipal animal control. They will share their perspectives on efforts to implement more positive\, resource-based field services operations. \nWe hope to have an open discussion\, so come with questions and feel free to unmute to participate!  Our hope is to create a space that feels safe for all participants; we ask you to follow these Accountable Space guidelines. The presentation portion of National Rounds will be recorded\, but the discussion and Q & A sessions will not. \nIf you or someone you know would like to be added to the national rounds email list\,  please send your request to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu. \nPlease use the following Zoom link to access National Rounds calls: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/97442637396 \nMeeting ID: 974 4263 7396\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,97442637396# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,97442637396# US \nZoom Meeting Link:  https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/97442637396

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/16/23 - Denise Fenzi’s Circle Method for Basic Reactivity and Over Arousal - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is intended to provide advice\, interventions\, and skills for individuals working with reactive or overexcited dogs. “The circle method of Loose Leash Walking” will be used to help the behavior and emotional state of reactive and over-aroused dogs by allowing them to adjust to their environment\, reconnect with their handlers\, and become more emotionally comfortable in the presence of specific triggers. The method can be used regardless of food interest and does not require elaborate set-ups. The information presented will build upon the circle method of loose leash walking\, and will assume knowledge of that material. This webinar assumes professional or amateur trainers who can assimilate the information with a preexisting working knowledge of dog behavior\, reactivity and over-aroused behavior. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand. Please check your webinar library before purchasing to avoid duplicate purchases. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
