In this episode of Integrate by Kate, I sit down with Bob to explore energetics, transformational learning, and meditation. We talk about how purposeful mindset shifts, energy awareness, and intentional meditation can lead to positive health changes, empowerment, and more authentic leadership. Whether you’re curious about meditation or seeking balance in your personal and professional life, this conversation will inspire you to tune into your inner voice and lead from within.
Bob Randall, EdD, believes in holistic wellness based on a balance of fostering a healthy body, mind and spirit. In his professional life, he facilitates leadership development courses for APi Group and believes that being a great leader starts with being a well balanced, healthy human. His beliefs about leadership and holistic health came into focus when he completed his doctorate in Organization Development at the University of St. Thomas, where he finished his dissertation centered on the learning and growth people experienced at the University’s Energetics Institute.
