Please join me in welcoming Petra Kolber.      

In this episode we discuss:

• her thoughts on leadership: “I define leadership as anyone who can see the potential in others before the other can see it. It is someone who has the skills, methods, heart, and grace to coach others into that potential. It could be anyone.”
• how she spent her time in the fitness world not recognizing her leadership role until she realized people were inspired by her.
• the difference between her childhood near Liverpool, where standing out was discouraged, and how her thoughts about leadership changed when she met her first Americans.
• some of the fitness classes she led and how they impacted others.
• how meeting Dorie Clark shifted her life and where she has gone since then.
• her methods for networking as an introvert, always entering rooms with the desire to give instead of receive.
