🐱 Leadership Lessons from My Furry Friends 🐱

Being born on December 31🎉 —yes, a last-minute tax deduction for my father 😉—gives me double the reason to reflect as any year end and a new year begins.

One highlight of looking back on 2024? Adopting two kittens! It’s fun to reflect on the surprising leadership lessons they’ve taught me. 🐾

Leadership, it turns out, is a lot like living with cats:

✔️ Influence beats control. You don’t always call the shots.

✔️ Recognition matters. Treats work wonders for engagement. 🍪

✔️ Keep it simple. To a cat, everything is either a toy, food, or an adventure—what if we saw life that way too?

Wishing you a year ahead filled with curiosity, connection, and just the right amount of playful mischief. What surprising lessons shaped your year? ✨
