The Leader Ship- we're all in the same boat

The Leader Ship- we're all in the same boat

By Richard Hortness

Hosted by high school teacher and 2-time Olympian Richard Hortness, this podcast is all about learning from each other. It centers around our own life experiences and interpretations of what we see in the realm of personal development or leadership. We go one step further with conversations that go deeper than what you find in a classroom or in a book. We are learning from real people, real situations, and real life. Welcome aboard the Leader Ship.

Episode 3: Melissa Garner: Leadership, Tattoos, Anxiety and Laughs

Melissa Garner is a Bold and badass woman, who by and large I consider my sister. My kids call her Aunty Mel and I spent 4 years co-leading November Project Vancouver with her. A self-proclaimed “tooth janitor” or for the rest of us a dental hygienist by day, and a superhero by night. Mel will talk to you about anything and everyone will have a good time doing it. We do a deep dive into stepping into a leadership role in a thriving fitness community, overcoming fears of public speaking, anxiety disorders, and the loss of loved ones. This one is going to be really good, welcome aboard, let's go.

Episode 1: Kaitlyn Kooyers

Kaitlyn Kooyers is a former professional dancer who after an unexpected end came to her career she had to take a step back and found herself in the real world. After a circuitous route, she wound up leading the Chicago chapter of November Project- a free fitness community- and has spent the last 10 years working in compliance in the business world. 

In our chat, we talk about leadership in its various forms, bagels, Knitting and living true to your values. I feel very fortunate to speak with Kaitlyn every time we have a chance. She is someone who I don’t know that well but whom I feel like the time we have spent talking has always been of great value. With that, I give you Kaitlyn Koyers.
