About this episode

Lawrence Poole discusses how ancient leaders and totem animals can guide effective leadership.

The ancient leaders of America wrote in stone - on steles and on structures - everything that we need to know about leadership, creative intelligence and personal power. The Olmec sorcerer/scientists recorded in stone the myth of Quetzalcoatl. Here your host Lawrence Poole explains how 5 totem animals can guide human beings on how to be a great leader. The animals are the Coatl – or water serpent; the Noble Jaguar; the Congo – or Howler Monkey; the Eagle; and the Resplendent Quetzal.
