"Every good craftsman conducts a dialogue between concrete practices and thinking; this dialogue evolves into sustaining habits, and these habits establish a rhythm between problem solving and problem finding.” - Richard Sennet, The Craftsman.

This quote reflects Anita’s knowledge and the way she dedicates herself to the craft. So much so, she has developed a business out of it, by integrating Aikido principles with leadership programs.

Her stance reflects wisdom through a grounded philosophy of life. On this fifth episode we explore this, and I share with you part of my experience with her coach practice, as she guides me through exercises that make me aware of my reactive patterns, when facing stress.

Listen to the interview to find out what inspires her and why she practices what she preaches.

Enjoy.
