*CUE THE FAN GIRLING*
I am beyond honored to welcome the one and only, Zumba Fitness legend Kass Martin on today's episode.
Kass has always been an incredible example to me of incredible cueing, flawless choreography and the most authentic connection to anyone she meets not only one on one, but she also takes these traits into the class and onto the international fitness stages as she teaches.
Kass has taught in over 60 countries as a celebrity guest presenter and Zumba Education Specialist. She has inspired so many to move their bodies and also helps men and women train their hearts and minds through her Life coaching business.
Listen, soak up and enjoy as we get to learn from a master in the industry.

This episode has taken weeks of prep on my end to make sure that I could fully share skills I have developed personally to develop a strong, safe work environment at work.
Again we come back to the face that "I create the culture in my work place". In this episode I share what I personally have overcome to feel ready and comfortable in a leadership position, ways I strive to continue to learn and grow and develop outside of work as well as important values we have as a staff that can be implemented in ALL leadership roles.
I also reference several books and resources I love to learn and study from:
