    Horses Reveal Your Leadership Blind Spots | Gail Carruthers and Tree Ryde

    What if your leadership blind spots could be revealed without anyone saying a word? In Season 8, Episode 8 of The Root of It All with Tree, Gail Carruthers joins Tree Ryde for a powerful conversation about leadership, communication, alignment, clarity, and decision making. Listen to this thought-provoking conversation and explore what horses can teach us about how we show up as leaders. BIO: Gail Carruthers is the owner of Skye Blue Acres and the founder of the Equine Intelligence Centre, where she creates transformational experiential learning experiences exploring leadership, self-awareness, emotional resilience, human capacity, and consciousness through the intelligence of horses. Gail's professional foundation includes certification in Adult Education, mediation and conflict resolution, and grief specialization, along with degrees in Physical Education and Sport Administration. Her work has evolved from an early interest in human performance and development into a much broader exploration of human potential, awareness, relationship, and consciousness. Her work brings together experiential learning, embodied awareness, intuition, and the remarkable capacity of horses to respond to what is happening beneath the surface of human behaviour. As an evidential Medium and Psychic, Gail's work has also led her to explore the possibility that consciousness continues beyond physical death. Her experiences have shaped a deeply held curiosity about the nature of existence, connection, and the unseen dimensions of life. Gail is also a Reiki Master, and her work reflects an ongoing exploration of the subtle intelligence and energetic relationships that exist between living beings and the environments they inhabit. She is interested in what becomes possible when we move beyond seeing ourselves as separate individuals and begin to consider the Interconnectedness of consciousness, energy, relationship, and life itself.

    Authentic Stories Create Lasting Connections

    Why do some brands and people instantly click with us, while others feel completely forgettable? It all comes down to authenticity. In this Episode, Cindy Csordas joins Tree Ryde to discuss how sharing your genuine story can break down walls and foster deep trust. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a leader, or just someone looking to improve your communication, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on keeping it real. BIO: Cindy Csordas is an award-winning, professional videographer and former journalist with 30 years of experience. She has worked in the television broadcasting industry at CTV and CHCH-TV, as well as lead video producer for the City of Hamilton, producing corporate videos for both internal and external audiences. Cindy received an award for Best Television Story in 2016 and Best Police TV Feature Story in 2010 from the Halton Regional Police Service. In 2007, Hamilton Professional Firefighters Local 288 honoured Cindy with an Award of Excellence for her two-part television news feature about Camp BUCKO, a camp open to burn survivors. Her passion: producing powerful videos to connect with audiences. Cindy's video work includes content with an educational, informational, promotional, recruitment and recognition focus. She has experience in videography, writing, editing, voice over work, and storytelling to produce video content for television, long form video (for YouTube) or shorts/reels for social media platforms. Have a video idea for your business? Cindy will make it shine. SEE IT, HEAR IT, FEEL IT! Promotional content: The part of my journey as a master storyteller that I enjoy the most is connecting with people on a level that makes them feel comfortable to share their messages in an authentic fashion. Everyone has a story worth telling. I'm honoured when people place their trust in me to help them tell theirs. As a television journalist for many years, people who had lost a loved one to a tragedy opened up to share their pain with me but in the hopes to prevent tragedies from happening in the future or to share with the community what that loved one meant to them. This was never an easy task to ask people in pain to open up but once they did, there was power in their message. As a corporate video content creator, it's been a welcomed challenge to help educate, recruit, promote, train or inform an audience with videos that make people feel connection to the message. I welcome every challenge and pour my creativity into producing content. This isn't a job. It's a passion. My hope is people who feel nervous in front of the lens walk away feeling a tremendous sense of accomplishment and pride in the work they've completed to drive their message forward. We are a team. We produce magic on the screen together.
