No matter how busy I get or how much pressure is on my shoulders, a good workout makes me feel at ease. I come off the treadmill feeling relaxed, full of joy and with a sense of perspective over the issues on my plate.
As for whether I am a 'new age guru', I am not at all. I help companies build employees who lead without a title and become high performers.
