In today's podcast, Fredrik is joined by international Yoga expert, wellness coach and entrepreneur, Train Calmeyer. Together they discuss how the pandemic has allowed for entrepreneurs to reflect upon their existing business model and how they can move with the times and the qualities behind a good leader. Train also shares some of her top tips to stretching and looking after yourself whilst working from home. KEY TAKEAWAYS The pandemic has required people to take a step back and reflect on how you can move your business and what that has to offer to an online platform. Use your current network of facilitators that you have gained over your experience within your niche industry and keep building upon that database to allow you to grow your company to new levels.   The engagement rate for on demand and pre-recorded content is quite low because it is completely dependent on the persons discipline to watch the content themselves. Anybody can go onto YouTube and watch a video if they have the will to do it. If you provide a live service whereby there is a person on the other end of the call to engage with and who you can ensure are listening to things.   When you have been sitting too much at a computer, one exercise that is highly recommended is to go and stretch against a wall. You can put your hands higher than your head, walk your feet back away from the wall and let your body sag against the wall, stretching out your back. This will help you to open up your chest. Anything to help opening up the chest and shoulders when you have been sitting at a computer too much is going to be a good thing.   A leader has to be focused on what their team is doing and has to be the example for their team. A real leader is always prepared for themselves and their team.   A very helpful thing to do, is to take a very deep breath. Repeat this in a sequence inhaling on a count of four, exhaling for a count of four. You will notice that your state, the way that you are breathing, and the way you are anticipating the breathing is going to calm you down.   Linked in has changed for the better post pandemic. A lot of people are sharing the realness of the working experience and it has gotten to be a more genuine and authentic social media platform. Twitter is another platform where entrepreneurs are able to share their real experiences in the industry. It also allows people to find a way to connect, collaborate and share information and ideas. BEST MOMENTS “I also definitely see that there is a disconnect in the online space.” “This whole part of your body that is usually quite compressed and working, gets opened up.” “I really love LinkedIn.” “ a leader has to be focused on what their team is doing.”   ABOUT THE GUEST Tarin Calmeyer is  an international yoga, meditation and wellness coach and she works with forward thinking brands who value the wellness of their workplace.
