What is the connection between body, mind and soul? And what has art got to do with leadership? And why am I promoting and hosting public workshops this year to focus on these concepts?
These are the type of questions that I have been asked by those who have participated in my corporate leadership programs and know of my work experience in human resources management - seemingly steps far removed from the world of art and spiritual connection.
The reasons rest in the world at large. As we experience the shrinking of our economy, the tightening grip on corporate funds, the shredding of the workforce, and the overextension of the remaining organizational resources to do more with less, it is time. Time for leaders to rally and focus. Time to show leadership by example. Leaders who stretch their comfort zones by participating in activities such as yoga and art experience moments of quiet reflection and meditation and are better prepared both physically and mentally to break through barriers and overcome challenges.
Today's business world requires leaders who are flexible, creative, and adaptive. We need leaders who are willing to consider alternative perspectives and methods to bring new results and innovation. It is time to reinvent ourselves and our organizations. Like the practice of yoga, it is the process of letting go of our messy thoughts and past encumbrances, developing the discipline to focus our minds and body while we build our inner strength and outer resolve.
Leadership, art, yoga....the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Building strength from the inside out. Developing disciplined focus. Expressing creativity. Stretching our minds. Opening our hearts. Living by example. This is leadership.
Join me at the retreat. Learn the art of leadership.

Organize or Agonize with Marla Regan: organize your life to experience peace of mind with Organized Time
What would it be like living in a house that is so perfect for you that it makes your life easier? It's possible with feng shui, the Chinese art of placement. The energy of your wardrobe should match your energy vibration-your Spirit. Knowing how to dress your Spirit as well as your body has a significant affect on what and who you attract.
