Here's a little wisdom for you: Courage is like a muscle, you gotta exercise it to make it strong! So put on your workout gear and hit the gym this weekend... or the karaoke bar, or the hot sauce challenge, or whatever gives you the wi***es! 😅 Remember, the more you flex your courage, the stronger you'll become. Let's do this! 💪

NO & Self-Care: There is a profound connection between saying NO and empowering your self-care journey. As a courageous leader, you'll radiate positivity and take care of your well-being.

Here's some food for thought on change: People CAN change. YOU can't change them. Wise words, right?

And leaders, listen up: you can't change someone's values either. Those babies are instilled by age 9! That's why it's so important to hire for values rather than just skills.

Let's embrace change where we can, and focus on finding the right people to join our teams.

Hey there, my incredible ! Gather 'round for an awe-inspiring story that'll warm your heart and remind us all of the power of exceptional customer loyalty.

What leadership lessons can we glean from this?

1️⃣ Embrace Empathy: Chewy demonstrated a deep understanding of their customer's situation and showed genuine empathy. They went the extra mile to make a challenging time a little easier. Remember, a little empathy can go a long way in building meaningful, lifelong relationships.
2️⃣ Allow for Kindness: I'm betting this isn't a "policy" that Chewy has but rather they provide their employees with the autonomy to do what's right for the customer.
3️⃣ Foster a Giving Culture: Chewy's suggestion to donate the dog food to a shelter shows their commitment to giving back. As leaders, we have the power to instill a culture of generosity and create positive change in our communities.

I wish every company showed this type of empathy, kindness and giving don't you?



PS: Chewy's display of exceptional customer service, takes me back to my blog post a few years back that you may want to check out. (The 3 Secrets to "Wow"-Worthy Customer Service"). [Link is in the comments]

This hits the nail on the head! Success isn't something we should obsessively chase like a speedy cheetah (although that would be pretty impressive!). Instead, let's focus on becoming valuable individuals.

Picture yourself as a treasure chest of unique skills, experiences, and talents. By continually investing in your personal and professional growth, you unlock your full potential! When you become an invaluable asset to others, success naturally gravitates toward you like a moth to a flame!

So, how can we enhance our value, you ask? Start by honing your expertise and nurturing your passions. Share your knowledge, support your team, and embrace challenges that play to your strengths - and even those that don't.

Tell me, my fabulous friends, how do you plan to boost your value and let success find its way to you? Let's share our thoughts and inspire each other!

Just reminiscing about back when I was reporting live from South Africa with some new furry friends. Just hanging out with some cheetahs and thinking about what it means to be a great leader. And you know what? These big cats have some valuable lessons to teach us humans!

Lesson 1: Be agile and adaptable. Cheetahs are known for their lightning-fast speed and their ability to change direction at a moment's notice. As leaders, we need to be just as nimble and able to pivot when the situation calls for it.

Lesson 2: Embrace your strengths. Cheetahs are built for speed and hunting, and they know it. As leaders, we need to embrace our own unique strengths and use them to our advantage.

Lesson 3: Don't be afraid to take risks. Cheetahs are fearless hunters, taking on prey much larger than themselves without hesitation. As leaders, we need to have the same courage to take risks and go after big goals.

So there you have it, folks - leadership lessons from some of the coolest cats in Africa! What lessons have you learned from unexpected sources? Share in the comments below!
