Vanessa rocked our world! She joined us for a talk that spanned from the challenges of being an entrepreneur and the many ways one can be a leader, to the potential energy of chaos, to the gendered qualities of architecture, to how to befriend resistance within group settings, to name a few highlights.

Perpetually curious and a phenomenal listener, Vanessa possesses a quality of presence that enhances everyone’s experience in the room from the moment she enters it.

She shared with us stories of her work in politics, her time as Executive Publisher during the last year of Ascent Magazine, her experience as Executive Director at Santropol Roulant, as well as the current work she is doing with The Living Wholeness Institute, the SheEO network,  and The Art of Hosting network. She helps us navigate questions of how to be effective agents of change, as well as the nuances of collective versus individual forms of leadership.

Vanessa’s love for poetry and language shines throughout her process, and her depth of experience as a leader in businesses and organizations combine with her artistic, spiritual, and academic endeavors to create a mesmerizing worldview.

It was an epic sit-down! Vanessa Reid on The SpiritBros Podcast!
