#TiredOfPeople

Last week, I ruined a multi-million dollar pitch meeting.
And the tears started streaming before I even hit the conference room.
Mid-system meltdown. Presentations back-to-back. Deals imploding.
Then, right there in the hallway—a golden retriever pressed her cold, wet nose against my hand.
No judgment. No follow-up emails. No quarterly review.
She just… sat with me.
And in that quiet moment, staring into those warm, earnest eyes, I realized something profound.
All my data-driven efficiencies? Useless.
All my strategic frameworks? Dust.
The only one on my team who truly *reads the room* doesn't have a title. And she never once asked me for KPI updates.
Her wisdom? Silence and presence.
Now, when executives claim they need "360-degree feedback," I move on.
Turns out, the best stakeholder alignment comes with four paws, not a corner office.
The elevator *thinks* it knows connection. A good dog *knows* it.
