Leadership Embodiment Training Level 1 and 2 with Pierre Goirand
What is it all about?
Leadership Embodiment (LE) gives you the tools and practices to be a skillful listener, a powerful advocator and an inspirational leader and deal with stress more gracefully and effectively. LE provides simple and powerful ways to connect mind and body, to develop a strong relaxed and stable leadership presence and to align with your purpose in the midst of action and challenging work, situations.
The course is designed as a simulator creating a full embodied experience. Through simple physical exercises we are able to recognize the patterns that arise when we are in intense situations. Once we are familiar with our pattern, we apply centering practices to help us shift to a more creative, compassionate and skillful state. Working in pairs, we chunk down learning exercises to create a lasting somatic imprint in the body. Individual debrief and group discussions create a dynamic learning container.
The tools and practices have been designed by Wendy Palmer and their roots lie in the traditions of mindfulness and martial arts. This program is part of a Europe-wide pathway. It also gives participants access to retreats with Wendy Palmer.
