Led by Executive Coach Laura Boone, MBA, our Walnut Creek team brings over three decades of proven expertise to veterinary practice transformation. Laura has built her brand based on one principle strategy, CANI – Constant and Never Ending Improvement. Her business coaching is designed to empower clients and their teams with the focus, training, and accountability they need to achieve consistent and sustainable results. As a senior executive coach, partner in the parent company, National Director of Veterinary, and on the Board of Directors for Fortune Management, Laura entered business coaching in 1996, following a very successful career in the dental field for over 14 years working clinical and administrative.

Laura and her team help veterinarians and veterinary teams grow year over year in their leadership, communication, profitability, systems and efficiency, with a 30-year proven track record. Her philosophy centers on the belief that culture supersedes strategy – you don’t grow a practice by working on systems alone, but by working with the team, side-by-side, through one-on-one coaching to unlock their potential to grow, be challenged, and become true partners with the doctors. Through Veterinary Mastery, our Walnut Creek team is dedicated to helping veterinary professionals create not only extraordinary practices but extraordinary lives.
Comprehensive Practice Assessment & Preventative Strategies
At Veterinary Mastery Walnut Creek, we believe that proactive preventative business planning forms the cornerstone of a long, healthy life for your practice. Our business wellness programs are tailored to address the specific needs of each practice based on their age, size, specialty, and individual business considerations. These comprehensive practice assessments include thorough operational examinations, customized leadership protocols, team retention strategies, and financial counseling designed to establish and maintain optimal business health. During these consultations, our coaches take the time to discuss your practice culture, efficiency level, and any concerns you might have, creating a complete picture of your business well-being.
Early detection plays a crucial role in managing practice health effectively, which is why our preventative approach includes appropriate financial tests and operational evaluations. For newer practices, we focus on establishing healthy foundations through growth monitoring, leadership development, and preventative business education for owners. As practices mature, our assessment protocols evolve to include more comprehensive screenings for common growth-related conditions. Established practices receive specialized attention with more frequent monitoring and targeted assessments of financial function, team dynamics, and operational health. Throughout every business stage, our Walnut Creek consulting team works proactively to identify and address management concerns before they develop into serious problems.
