I leash/harness train mine. It's nice to be able to mostly walk them around outside like dogs. Also I train them to ride on my shoulders for transportation. That way when they get too lazy to walk back to the house or I need to carry them around for any other reason I can just plop them on my shoulders and they will ride there, keeping my hands free. My neighbors probably think I'm crazy.

u/VegaLyrae's suggestions are all excellent.

I like your style.

Mine just jumps on my shoulders anytime I bend over anyway, but then she likes to slowly slide down when she wants to get off, and claws are not really fun when that happens

Consent is one of the harder things to teach cats.
