“As corporate leaders, we have so much coming at us all day long requiring us to be reactive and quick problem solvers. We must also be able to be good listeners , provide feedback and empower our team members as they strive to meet their goals. With the Humanity First leadership program, my eyes have been opened to the importance of remaining present, balanced and vulnerable in my role as a leader. Since this course, I lead with my authentic voice. I am more calm, clear, and curious with my team members, my executives and my customers.

- Heidi, VP of Telco Sales, CBTS Inc

“I am different than I was in June of last year because of this course. And I still don't know what I am going to do because I am taking this course. I want to rephrase what I said. I'm not different, I am more the person I always wanted to be. The roadblocks are going away.”

“We each have very unique journeys and yet this container allows us to see ourselves and each others humanity first- what's so great I think, is the synergy of a group of about 20 or so humans embarking on a challenging journey together- accepting "what's so", loving ourselves, and taking accountability for the leadership positions we hold in our lives regardless of whether we want to be yoga teachers or if we want to be leaders or not- we are all leaders.”

—Renee

“I have been a leader all my life in one way or the other, and this Humanity First has caused me to step in differently, to understand leadership as service, to myself and to others. It has caused me to see possibility in so many places that I hadn’t considered.”

—Polly, Head of Friends School in Boulder, CO from 1995-2011

My biggest take away from Humanity First was the discovery of how little I used my voice to speak up for me. I abandoned myself over and over again to please others. I rarely let others see my real self. Humanity first brought me eye to eye with myself and with the love and support from Taylor and my fellow humans, found my voice.

It is a joy to live fully me.

—Lauren, Project Manager at Lockheed Martin

“Humanity First provided a refreshingly different and much more profound approach to “leadership training” than other workshops, classes and sessions I have been a part of in my 25 year career. It taught me how to access the most authentic, grounded and best parts of myself to serve those around me. I find myself leading with openness and curiosity instead of simply driving to fix other’s dilemmas and problems. I am able to access a steadiness and a strength that I hadn’t prior to this year. I would describe the training as rich, transformative and incredibly powerful.”

—Colleen, Director of Principal Gifts, The Nature Conservancy

“I was taught to stand in my feet grounded and speak from my heart to share the unhidden truths! To enter the room you need to talk, use your voice and connect, give feedback, know that we are all just human and have stuff and if we share we can connect and guide. The focus is on WE as a whole and if you can have enough self compassion and self love the Ego rebirths in a kinder, more connected way. Humanity First has shown me the big disconnect that has been my guide. CONNECTING to self and to HUMANS.”

—Jennifer, Owner of Nature’s Design (Steamboat Springs, CO)

“H1st is about growth. I have drifted in and out of leadership roles for 40 years, but I've grown more as a leader in the past 9 months than I have in those previous 40 years combined. My relationship with yoga has greatly deepened also - teaching will do that for you! Finally, the way I engage the world has fundamentally changed. Instead of "playing it safe" as I have for my whole life, I find myself leaning in and taking risks - living! - almost every day.”

—Michael, Advanced Concept Engineer, L3 Harris Technologies

“All these experiences have caused me to do things I otherwise wouldn’t have done and go to emotional places that I wouldn’t have gone. H1 has so far helped me shine light on dark areas inside myself that I have been mostly avoiding throughout my life. It has helped me dismantle the armor I have put up throughout the decades.”

—Alexandra, Volunteer Yoga Teacher at Denver Women’s Prison
