Are you tired of working for someone else and ready to step out on your own?
Have you hit a roadblock in your business or practice and don’t know how to get past it?
Do you want to empower yourself and your clients to embrace a more embodied approach?
Then you’re in the right place!
Why Embodied Leadership?
If you’ve met someone who instantly makes you feel safe and understood because they’re incredibly grounded, capable and in tune with their values, then you’ve met an embodied leader.
Historically, the male, hierarchical leadership model — where a few have power and control over the many —purported that success only comes from being aggressive, controlling, and adopting attitudes like “it’s my way or the highway.”
However, a growing number of today’s leaders embody the values of caring, compassion, fairness, and justice. They choose to lead by bringing out the best in others. As a result, their organizations are more stable as each member is appreciated and is working toward a common goal. It creates a powerful synergy where the group accomplishes more together than they ever could as individuals alone. This benefits people and the bottom line.
Embodied leaders are today’s beacons, showing how to thrive even in difficult situations.
How You Can Become An Embodied Leader
Embodied leaders are at ease within themselves, even under stress, because they live in harmony with their values. They have learned the secret to aligning their body, mind and spirit through embodied learning and somatic work.
Embodied Learning means knowledge is retained and utilized from a cognitive understanding AND a felt experience through the body. This felt experience means you take new actions aligned with your values and vision, even under pressure.
Somatic Embodied Leadership takes it a step further: it’s an integrative approach that builds on the wisdom of YOUR complete body/mind connection, past and present.
The most effective leadership is not solely a matter of knowing a skill; it’s making that skill your natural way of being.
Of course, you could spend decades and thousands of dollars learning to apply embodied leadership principles by yourself. But I don’t want you to struggle with building your business and leadership presence while working with your clients, employees, or teams. You and they deserve better than that!
Why turn to Maria for embodied leadership training?
I’m truly passionate about sharing this unique perspective and set of techniques I’ve developed over years of immersive study and practice. I aim to provide an engaging, eye-opening experience that expands your understanding and embodiment in powerful ways.
To learn from the masters of embodied leadership and somatic coaching, I’ve traveled between many different sources to find what I needed.
You don’t have to!
Here’s the thing… somatic coaching cuts beneath superficial conversations to a space of deep learning and profound transformation. Most leadership and coach trainings focus on exploring and transforming thoughts, beliefs and ideas. They help clients see another way of looking at or solving a problem. Or they show how one’s limiting beliefs are holding them back. This is only one phase of the transformation. Although powerful during the session, the transformation doesn’t last.
As human beings, most of us live in our conditioned habituated self, doing the same things we have always done, reacting in the same ways we always react. Our habitual self is deeply ingrained. By combining embodied leadership with somatic coaching, we can become aware of our conditioned behaviors and responses, appreciate the intent to protect us over the years and create more options to make lasting changes.
This is the power of a somatic embodied approach to transformation that I want to teach you.
