"A thought provoking, practical, accessible guide on how to use your body to develop authority, presence and impact as a leader."

John Leary-Joyce, CEO of the Academy of Executive Coaching

"This book offers refreshingly practical ideas for everyone wanting to develop their leadership skills. It takes deliberate practice, but building on the principles of embodied leadership it opens our eyes to how much choice we actually have when we don't let our past determine our behavior, and hence our potential at work"

Eeva Sipila, Chief Financial Officer, Cargotec Corporation

"A thoroughly insightful and fresh perspective on leadership which makes a compelling case for a different approach."

Melanie Richards Partner, KPMG

We don't need leaders who know about leadership - we need leaders who embody the capacity to lead in the midst of ambiguity and complexity. The concept of embodied leadership is derived from somatic coaching, a unique approach that brings the body forward as an advocate in creating a place for change and transformation. It brings together language, action, feeling and meaning and is based on the idea that the mind and body are inextricably linked: to develop one, you must cultivate the other. Embodied Leadership deconstructs our thinking about the body using key discoveries in neuroscience to demonstrate the uses and benefits of a somatic approach, particularity in the area of emotional intelligence.There are practical exercises throughout to develop embodied leadership skills and personal development.
