We’re looking forward to introducing you to Candice & Lauren Henry. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Candice & Lauren, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Definitely integrity! Everything goes back to your character, so if you don’t have integrity, everything will eventually fall apart. Integrity must be your foundation. As John Wooden said, “Talent will get you to the top, but character will keep you there.” It’s always better to aim to be pure in your process instead of fast.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! We’re Candice Henry & Lauren Henry! We’re sisters, university professors of leadership, and the co-founders of Aretios, a company dedicated to training the next generation of leaders in personal development and leadership strategy.
We are firm believers that learning should be fun, interesting, interactive, and practical, so we’ve created everything for Aretios with our sense of adventure in mind. No dry theories here!
We shoot straight and don’t waste time with motivational fluff that pumps you up and leaves you high and dry when you attempt to apply it. We’ve been studying and practicing these concepts for over two decades, so everything we teach is evidence-based. We are also young leaders ourselves, so we are intentional about creating for our demographic and tailor our offerings to speak the language that resonates with the next generation and addresses relevant topics.
While there are a lot of motivational “experts” out there, we bring engaging teaching, actionable content, and relevant strategies with class, adventure, and spark.
If you’re looking for more fun, adventure, and personal growth, we invite you to join the A-Team Newsletter community! It is a free newsletter, and it arrives in your inbox twice a month, filled with curated and actionable insights on success mindset strategy, productivity, relationships, and more! You’re sure to be inspired and equipped with what you need to perform at your best in every area of your life. Head to https://www.aretios.com/ateam to join us!
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
There have been many pivotal moments, but one that set us onto our current trajectory was when our parents made the choice to intentionally start us on a leadership growth track when we were young. Being surrounded by positive input has had the best impact, and because of that, we ended up starting our own company to help other young people reap the benefits of developing the right mindset and habits for success in life and work. Our mindset is how we see the world and determines what we get out of life, so learning how to do this properly has been transformative. This is a big part of what we want to share with others.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Keep going, keep growing! Today’s experiences will prepare you for tomorrow’s opportunities. Hold onto your dreams and keep writing them, visualizing them, and working towards them. It may not always happen on your timetable, but dreams do come true.
If you want to join us in doing this for your dreams and goals too, grab a copy of the guided journal that we use to practice these habits at www.aretios.com/thedaily
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. How do you differentiate between fads and real foundational shifts?
There is always the latest fad or trend in personal growth, but we are intentional about focusing on and sharing time-tested wisdom that can be trusted rather than some flash in the pan idea that might not get you the results that you truly want.
Foundational shifts do happen, not as often as fads, so this means we have to remain teachable and willing to unlearn some things that may be holding us back.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
Being in nature enjoying the beauty of God’s creation and creating special memories with friends and family always fill us with a wonderful sense of peace and joy. We often share with our clients the value of making time for adventures. Our best life is one that has us growing in all of what we call the High Five Elements of Life which are career, relationships, health, spirituality, and lifestyle. We share a lot more about this in our Best Life Blueprint Workshop at www.aretios.com/workshop
