Leadership & Culture Building in the Fitness Industry w/Luke Carlson The Wellness Paradox
-
- Health & Fitness
Episode 34 of the Wellness Paradox Podcast brings us to a discussion I am incredibly passionate about – leadership and building a strong culture within an organization. What it takes to be a great leader and to build a strong organizational culture is often misunderstood. Furthermore, in such a “young” industry, like fitness and wellness that’s identity is continuously evolving, leadership and culture can be a challenge.
To address this topic and provide actionable solutions, we’re joined by Luke Carlson from Discovery Strength. His background is a unique combination of evidence-based exercise science and evidence-based leadership/culture building. Not only does Luke lecture around the country on the topic of leadership, he has built his own high performing organization, with a strong culture of leadership, evolution, and growth! Luke is not someone that just talks of “leadership theory,” he lives and breathes it every day in his business!
This conversation will spark not only inspiration, but action. Many people are long on ideas, but short on action – not Luke. This is a value conversation for all aspiring leaders, looking to build a strong organizations culture, not just in fitness, but in any industry!
