Reimagining Leadership: Anna Rudel on Growing a Cohesive & Functioning Team
Mar 21, 2023Anna Rudel, a compassionate and empathetic acupuncturist, faced the challenge of transitioning from a solo practitioner to a successful business leader and coach, learning to relinquish control and nourish her team along the way. She joins the podcast today to share some of her journey and some golden nuggets of wisdom too!
"I realized that actually, I could see myself doing this for others and unknowingly stepped into a situation where I offered some help to a friend whose practice was in crisis. And that was the beginning of my journey as a coach. And I cannot tell you the joy it brings me."
Anna Rudel is an experienced acupuncturist and business coach who has been running her own practice, Lokahi Acupuncture, since 2003. She recently joined Wellness Center Creators as a coach and is now facilitating the three-month coaching group, as well as accepting individual coaching clients.
Anna Rudell is passionate about acupuncture and believes in its healing power. After starting and growing her own practice, she soon realized she needed to take on a different role to manage her team. With Kendall's coaching, Anna was able to learn how to lead her team and create a nurturing environment for them to work in. This new role brought her joy and the satisfaction of empowering her team with the skills and resources they needed to succeed. Her experience even inspired her to become a coach herself and help other practices through the inevitable business challenges. With her compassionate and mindful approach, Anna has been able to create a cohesive and functioning team in her own practice, and guides others to do the same!

- How have female practitioners of East Asian medicine been taught to view owning a business?
