Whole Body Leadership – Emotional Intelligence & the Body

We are constantly working in high stress environments. The pace of change and restructuring can create fear and disengagement. In fact, according to Gallup research, 87% of employees worldwide are NOT engaged. Leading in change and ambiguity while keeping employees engaged requires high levels of emotional intelligence (awareness and management of self & others). Emotional intelligence requires strong body awareness. In this highly interactive session leaders will learn from the latest neuroscience research about how to lead more effectively using the power & self-awareness gained from their body. Participants will:

• Learn practices to grow self-awareness through awareness of the body
• Practice how to use breath and posture to reduce stress and remain centered in the face of stressful situations
• Discover ways to listen and influence others powerfully through body language
• Create an action plan and accountability to be powerful in a challenging situation at work
