Embodied Leadership – What dancing teaches us about our leadership

Leadership rests on three essential pillars: Skills, Intelligence, and Self. While skills and intelligence can be developed, what sets great leaders apart is the embodiment of the Self. In the business world, success is often defined and measured by the Mind — logic, strategy, and intellect. Yet the Self is never separate from the Body. Through our Body we sense others and the environment express moods and emotions, generate interpretations and beliefs, historical experiences, take action towards the future.

As we grow, our culture, upbringing, and education shape not only our beliefs but also our posture, movements, and how we physically show up in the world. When we raise our awareness of the Body, we reconnect with our inner knowing and activate our authentic leader. This is what my life as a corporate leader and a dancer for over 20 years taught me.

In this workshop I share my own experience as a corporate leader and dancer followed by posture exercises and self-reflection.
