Cheri Ruskus is an expert business coach and Colorado workshop facilitator as well as the host of the Bright Shiny Object Project Podcast. In this episode, she talks about mindful leadership and how it ties into the concept of freedom. She also guides listeners through a meditation to help them to become more clear on what freedom means to them, so that they can incorporate those values into their leadership style.
“It's the leadership that allows for all to be heard that makes the greatest positive impact,” explains host and business coach Cheri Ruskus. Everyone has a different idea of what it means to be a leader and the most effective leaders are the ones who create an environment where everyone has the freedom to speak their truth and show up as their authentic selves. Today, Cheri shares responses from readers of her weekly Victory Letter to the question, “What does freedom mean to you?”. Afterward, she guides listeners through a leadership meditation to encourage people to begin thinking more mindfully about their own personal interpretations of leadership and how to be a leader in a way that enables others to experience freedom.
