Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of sharing my unique approach to leadership development by partnering with our dogs with Deborah Hamilton, podcast host of “Why Do Pets Matter” and attorney of Hamilton Law and Mediation, PLLC.
By understanding the dynamics of our relationship with our pets, we can transform our leadership skills in the workplace and create a harmonious life for both our employees and our pets.
Dogs bring us back to the basics, teaching us to live in the present and embrace the power of the human-animal bond.
