My Role As A Dog Owner

I have a dog and her name is JayJay. I’ve only had her for a week but I’ve known her for seven years since she was previously my mom’s dog. As a dog owner, I have two occupations which include walking her and playing with her. When I walk Jayjay an activity I partake in is putting on her leash and when I play with her an activity partake in is throwing her ball. A task I partake in being able to clasp her collar and leash on her and also picking up a ball for her to play with.

A Glyph on Leadership

Image
My perspective when I started OT school:  - leadership stems from nurture over nature -  your leadership style is more behind the scenes - know  of at least one leader who has had a positive impact on you - creativity is more important than organization in leadership - an introvert can be an effective leader  -  seeing yourself as a leader is necessary to being a leader For the most part, my perspective on the items of the glyph has not changed.
