We had the good fortune of connecting with Leda Woods and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leda, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Balance I think is one of the most important factors for success, when I feel I start to lose my balance in work/life I repeat myself: People to live in the past: lives in depression and melancholy
People to live in the future: lives in anxiety
People to live in the present: live in joy

We need, to learn t0o the past, work for the future and enjoy the present.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I think Pet Grooming is art! Is amazing to see your job when it’s done and compare it with the before. Pet Grooming brings happiness to the pets and owner, you can see in the dog faces how they are happy when they are clean and pamper.

One of the keys to being a good professional is never stopping to learn, watch videos, read books, listen to podcasts, pay training, go and build relations with other professionals, try need products, new technics, etc, Open your mind to suggestions and criticism.

In my professional life, I deal with all kinds of situations, with clients, with vendors, with external issues ( hurricanes, covid, etc) , and my process is to list all the good and bad stuff that can happen and try to resolve the problems following my reason but taking my heart in consideration, is something don’t feel good I don’t do it, in the end to the day I want to go bed and know I did the best and feel in peace with myself

I want people to people to hear our name: Paw Wow and they know we are in this business because I love what I do.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh wow! I Love Houston. Houston museum is the best, love going to the science and art museum, is always a fun exhibition going on.

I like to try restaurants in the Houston area or Montrose, I love a restaurant named MAD… drinks and food are amazing.
Another place is a winner is Glorias Restaurant! Latin food with a good Margarita

Another enjoyable activity is going to different parks or lakes around, riding a bike, making a picnic, I live in The Woodlands area and we have a couple of cool outdoors here: Lake Holcombe, Lake Conroe, Lake Woodlands, Northshore Park.
