Leadership lessons can come from surprising sources … including our household pets! Since dogs are the most common pet in the US, this episode explores how dog ownership can help us improve patience, flexibility, clear communication, and setting reasonable expectations. Angelica and Jessie invite special guest speaker Chanté Martin, Polco Director of Strategic Partnerships, to tell us about her dog, her background working in local government, and how those experiences impact workplace leadership. You’ll also hear heartwarming stories about Chanté’s doodle Kosmo, Jessie’s pup Olive, and Angelica’s dogs Beau and Penny.
