Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Katherine Jansen-Byrkit about living wakefully and bridging differences to find true collaboration.

Katherine Jansen-Byrkit, MPH, LPC (https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherine-jansen-byrkit-a5b0b915/) has long had a passion for embodied wakefulness; wakefulness as a lived experience rather than simply a conceptual one. Her early professional life was a happy one as she enjoyed meaningful work in the field of Public Health. But over time, she felt an inner stirring and what was to ensue was a transition into her current work as a psychotherapist. For the past 15 years she has guided others with personal and relational transformation as her clients discover their own path of embodied wakefulness. Now, Katherine is thrilled to bring her work forward in her first book, River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness. She presents 9 aspects of wakefulness within a framework of the inner and outer world. She not only offers powerful ideas, but ways to integrate each with an inspiring “Story from the Field”.

I’ll meet you there.” Check out Dr. Westover's new book, The Alchemy of Truly Remarkable Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/leadershipalchemy.
