Debra Kosek Curriculum Focus: Planning A Manifesto for a Longer, Healthier and More Fun Life Debra Kosek is a manager at lululemon athletica on Halsted Street in Chicago where she leads a team of 30 extraordinary people to get sweaty, set goals and create their best life. She also facilitates events to elevate the community and rock Chicago with yoga. lululemon is a yoga-inspired athletic apparel company that provides components for people to live longer, healthier and more fun lives.

Debra went to school at DePaul University where she set out to make her mark on the world. Her studies in political science and marketing led her to a lucrative career in sales, but constantly being glued to her Blackberry left her a bit out of balance. There HAD to be a career out there that drew on her passion for people and personal development. That commitment to transformation and community kept her involved in organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Landmark Education. The universe took note and steered her right to lululemon where creating an opening in WHAT’S POSSIBLE and elevating the world is the name of the game.

Debra is a marathoner and uses morning runs on Lake Michigan as daily meditation. She knows that yoga makes life better and always squeezes in ONE MORE practice a week than she has time for. Outside of her transformational leadership role called work, Debra feeds off of the laws of attraction with her friends and family who are out for greatness too. She recently started a blog about gratitude to dig deep into acknowledging people who make a difference in the world.http://liveinthelistening.wordpress.com.
