Preview Mode Links will not work in preview mode

Years ago I turned to Tina Forsyth to teach me how to run Yogahealer. She taught me how to create systems, processes, build team, hire, fire, and a few other key skills that come in handy for growing businesses. Somewhere along the way we became friends.

We were chatting a few weeks ago and discovered we were both leading retreats. We were both in retreat prep mode. We decided to go over lessons learned from hosting our retreats.

Tina's retreat was for the women entrepreneurs in her community stepping deeper into leadership. Mine was the member's only retreat I host bi-annually for people in my courses.

Despite different businesses with a very different clientele, we both learned the exact same things. Find out what we learned in the interview.

In this conversation I talk with Tina Forsyth about Hosting Retreats as an exploration of Collective Leadership

Teaching and training vs. creating experiences for connection
