How To Keep Your Passions Alive

Leader Interviews
Written By Donna Peters

Donna Peters interviews CEO, Inventor and Mom, Shawn Walker.  Shawn and her horse, Alick, are top-tier champions in the sport of dressage.  Shawn discusses her lifelong passion for horses, training and competing.  She shares wisdom for all of us on keeping our interests, our passions, alive.  She challenges us to think how the opposite is actually true--our interests and passions keep us alive.

  • Eliminate the myth that you don't have the time.  You do have the time to pursue your passions

  • Don't make excuses to delay "if I only had x, I could start."  Start now.  Take the first small step, make the first call.  Get creative

  • In addition to your career and family, you need a silo for yourself.  Set boundaries

Shawn's Core Values: Continuous Improvement, Fairness, Awareness, Learning from Mistakes, Humor
