White water rafting adventures and surprising leadership lessons
with Barry Kruse
It was such a pleasure to have Barry Kruse on the Leaders Who Love What They Do Podcast!
In this episode, Barry shares how he brings his sense of adventure and the wisdom of being a white water rafting guide into his leadership role in business: how he helps teams to work better together and use the power of joint adventure. He also talked to me about his mission to help young people to discover rafting and "use their voice to take a stand and make an impact" in their lives.
Tune in to hear his story and learn more about his inspiring leadership development work with young people and his teams in his work across the world.
