Humour & Light Hearted Leadership

​1.Humour - Some people get flowers or gift cards as a farewell gift…
I got a pen—with my name on it. 💙
Why?
Because somewhere along the way, I was (lightheartedly?) accused of being a pen thief.
So, in true full-circle fashion, I now have my own personalized blue pen. No confusion, no claims, no swiping—just good humour and a memorable send-off.
Leaving with a smile, a story, and yes… my own pen.

2.Light-Hearted Leadership: Yes, It’s a Thing
Who said leadership has to be all serious suits and tight agendas?
Some of the most impactful moments I’ve had as a leader came with a little laughter, a lot of heart, and maybe even a pun or two (you’ve been warned).
Yes, I believe in clarity, direction, and high standards—but I also believe in the power of joy, connection, and not taking ourselves too seriously.
You can be focused and still fun.
You can be results-driven and still kind.
You can lead with strength and still sparkle (literally, if you’ve seen my shoes).
Light-hearted leadership isn’t about fluff—it’s about creating space where people feel safe to show up fully, where hard conversations happen with compassion, and where progress doesn’t require perfection.
Because when people feel lighter, they rise higher. ✨
