Join me, Shawna Krueger, for a solo episode on the leadership lessons I’ve learned through yoga and my work in the wellness industry as a whole.
As a result of experiencing bad leadership in the yoga world, I made this podcast… Yes, it inspired the name and the whole study. Plus, I share my high school graduation speech.
Let's explore the following topics:
All teachers can only ever be a finger pointing at the moon, not the moon itself.
You will find what you are looking for in leaders.
The premise of yoga is that we have somehow become separated from the whole, or fallen out of union, yoga. Leadership makes or breaks the whole.
Leaders will inevitably let you down and they will pleasantly surprise you.
The leaders who are truly the most abundant, who have the “most to lose” are the ones who are the most generous and willing to share.
What’s missing from definitions of leadership.
Leadership is not a title that is bestowed upon you or earned after a certain amount of time.
