There’s a course coming up that I highly recommend – Embodied Leadership.
I’ve taken Embodied Leadership out in California while staying and training with the originators Strozzi Institute. Embodied Leadership and others like it changed by life and embodied training is now what I do.
Mark Mooney, a warm and very knowledgeable trainer, will be co-leading the course with Roffey regular Peter Hamill. The price tag may be outside of most people’s pocket, but if you’ve got an employer willing to pay for it, it would benefit them as much as you.

“What is Embodied Leadership?
Our historical methods of education, deriving from a scientific model, are quickly being replaced with experiential learning environments. Leadership trainers know that people learn much quicker through experience. Developing a leader, manager, or an efficient staff of any kind, is no longer simply about tips and techniques or sending them off to read a manual. It is about embodying the practices of exemplary leadership.
Embodied Leadership means a person engages in recurrent practices in order to achieve mastery in their roles and way of being. When we see this level of embodiment we trust and believe in their competences. This level of presence and leadership transcends an idea or wishful thinking. For example, athletes do not read how to swim or pole vault and then go out and do it. They train with focus and intention, they have a coach or mentor who provides them with feedback, and they place themselves in a constant game of learning.
Embodiment means that our skills and actions are deeply a part of who we are. A good example of this is our ability to drive a car. When we first learned how to drive, we made silly mistakes and had to use our thinking to drive. Now when you get into your car, your don’t think about it. You just drive. The skills and actions necessary to drive are embodied, transparent, and seamless. Embodied Leadership means the skills of leadership and effective coordination become instinctual, part of our being, not just a good idea.”
