About this episode

Andy Green discusses the challenges of separating identity from profession and the importance of curiosity and vulnerability.

"We've all got lots of stuff we should do. Should exercise more, should eat healthier, should do this, should do that. We end up shoulding all over ourselves. Just have a challenge and go - I will learn from this." We are absolutely delighted to welcome Andy Green to the How to Thrive podcast this week. Andy is a neuro-strategist, leadership and culture specialist, TEDx speaker, and the bridge between the veterinary and legal worlds in more ways than one. Andy spent 27 years as a clinical vet before stepping back from practice to focus full-time on leadership, coaching and culture - work that had been quietly growing alongside his clinical career for years.  That transition didn't come easily. When he finally told his fellow directors, he was in tears. It struck at the very core of who he thought he was. In this episode, Claire and Helen talk to Andy about the striking parallels between how vets and lawyers define themselves by their profession, what it really takes to separate your identity from your job title, and why curiosity and vulnerability are more closely linked than most people realise.  More about Andy: Find Andy on LinkedIn…
