I am excited and honored to join an impressive lineup of speakers at the Arizona Technology Council Annual CEO Leadership Retreat at their 17th Annual CEO Leadership Retreat, where I will share how you can unlock the power of your Brain, Body, and Breath to move from successfully exhausted to Mindfully Successful.
As I explained executive/leadership coaching to my seatmate, I realized that others may have the same questions.
Practicing yoga isn’t about doing poses on a mat or in a class; just as leading isn’t about being in charge of other people. Practicing yoga and leadership are simply ways of being – preferably with compassion and truthfulness.
Leadership takes courage. Whether leading a company, a division, a team or just yourself, it requires courage to continually “put yourself out there” and take the lead. So what is your motivation to lead?
Congratulations! You are in a position of authority and in charge. Perhaps you are excited and energized. Or perhaps you are feeling like, “I am their leader. Where did they go?” Too often people think being in charge means (1) they have to prove how much they know, and/or (2) they can now make people do what they want, how they want it. At best, these approaches will get you compliance; rarely will they get you followers.
