Gene Neill

Gene is currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio working with Macy’s, Inc. focusing on company-wide Talent Strategy initiatives. He has worked in Talent and Leadership Development, Talent Acquisition, as a HR Business Partner, and most recently on the Learning & Leadership Development team. While Gene spends most of week in a career that focuses on developing people, something still felt like it was missing. Helping others in a workplace to become better employees is great, but what about becoming better people? It was this recurring thought that encouraged Gene to take his yoga practice another step forward to sign up for teacher training. Now, Gene enjoys spending time helping others challenge their mental limitations, safely explore their physical possibilities, and find that ever-important moment of pause so many desperately need and seek. Pausing for the opportunity to check-in and connect with ourselves to experience what is happening in our minds and bodies right now, without judgement. These ideas are the basis of his perspective on what yoga can begin to offer. Gene earned his B.A. from Marietta College in Organizational Communication and Human Resource Management with a minor in Leadership Studies in 2016. He enjoys giving back to his alma mater as a director for the alumni association, spending time reading at local coffee shops, and sharing time with friends and family.
