Becoming a Conscious Leader:
​Enhancing Somatic Awareness 
an exploratory 2-hour workshop

The skills of a Conscious Leader are grounded in an awareness of one’s mindset of the moment,

especially the difference between ...
the unconscious, reactive, fear-based mindset
and
the conscious, responsive, trust-based mindset.

To deepen that awareness, this workshop series engages the Conscious Leader
in somatic (body-centered) activities
whose roots are in mindfulness practices, the martial art aikido,
​ and exercises arising from the power of improvisation.

The intention is to experience — in the body — the difference in these two mindset states ...
... to explore how one moves between them ...
​... and to apply this awareness to how you are showing up as a leader in your organization.

How can one be a "powerful leader," and yet

lead with “power” that isn’t about pushing or

pulling, manipulating or coercing?
