I’ve lived with dogs for the past ten years of my life: they have been a relatively recent discovery but what a discovery! They taught me unconditional love, patience I did not know I had in me, even insights in my deeper emotions. They are my bridge to that warm side of me often hidden and elusive: they know how to reach it and have no shame in doing it!

As a coach and keen observer of leadership behaviors, I also found dogs to be an endless source of leadership insights.. Do you think that may be stretch? Think twice!
