Biography
Thought leader, speaker, teacher and award-winning author of The Yoga of Leadership. The Yoga of Leadership shows how your personal wellbeing is connected to your success. I invested five years of time in an audacious project combining ancient wisdom into a leadership context in a practical way. As a yoga teacher with professional experience in private equity & venture capital and management consulting, I understand the needs of leaders and share practical ideas for taking radically good care of yourself to enhance your performance, health, and happiness.
I have advised entrepreneurs and investors on capital raising goals and operational scaling. My professional experience has allowed me to develop relationships with a wide variety of personalities in the global business arena, which was a key to my success. In the private equity investment sector, I directed billion-dollar fundraising events ushering in commitments of capital from institutional investors around the world.
Passion
I'm drawn to world changing ideas and new innovations that support human thriving. I love engaging people to think more broadly, more consciously, and expand their perspective.
Best Story
I found myself sitting in a yoga teacher training on the floor of a gilded ballroom in a hotel in Cambridge, MA with 60 other people wondering why I was there exactly. There were a wide variety of people in the room. I felt out of place. I merely wanted to learn the philosophy of yoga to enhance my own practice because I loved yoga and did it as part of my weekly 'exercise' regimen. I didn't really want to teach yoga. Now, I found myself sitting in this room learning ancient yogic principles of behavior from a guy who was formerly a social worker and an Army Ranger. An interesting combination I thought. Ethical behaviors, according to the yoga tradition, were among the first things he taught us in this 9 month long program. And he told us that these ethical behaviors were expected of us if we were to choose to call ourselves yoga teachers upon graduation. Along the way it dawned on me that this yoga teacher was holding me (us) accountable to a higher standard of behavior than I had ever been held to in my life and certainly in my career. It resonated, profoundly, because I thought what he was teaching us - was right.
