Welcome to the Guns and Yoga Podcast
Today my guest is Dr. Renee Thornton. Dr. Thornton is an organizational and crisis intervention psychologist, author, entrepreneur, military veteran, mom, and founder of Pathfinder Resilience.
She is passionate about building high performing cultures within the first responder professions, whether it be with her Navigating Adversity program, a self-paced, one of a kind, wellness program with a whole person approach geared towards public safety professionals or her newest endeavor that focuses on leaders.
Dr. Thornton is the epitome of resilience; she shares her personal adversity while growing up and experiencing homelessness and how her experience in the military taught her about leadership.
Dr. Thornton is focused on building high performing cultures and has launched a new initiative geared towards forward thinking agency leaders which she discusses in our conversation. She gives us a little info about the playbook she’s developed and upcoming retreat and summit for this initiative which you can learn more about on her website, link included in the show notes.
Finally, we talk about a topic that’s been near and dear to my heart lately, Women; specifically, women at work operating within the organizational culture. Dr. Thornton is writing a book that highlights women’s unique skills and role as agency influencers. She has noticed in her work that women are typically the ones speaking about self-care. She believes Women have referential influence within organizations that drive key performance indicators and change within organizations.
Her book is a celebration of what women are naturally good at and what women need to work on; how to best deal with confrontation, boundary setting, and how to have difficult conversations. Something she says that all women could use some coaching around.
