Traditional leadership programmes focus on the brain, grounded in the belief that knowing how to lead is enough. Embodied leadership moves beyond that. It connects the intelligence of the body to the brain, driving actions for sustainable behavioural change. Join us at the Embodied Leadership Retreat, a two-day immersive experience designed for (future) leaders like you who are eager to take their leadership to the next level.
What you’ll learn:
This Embodied Leadership retreat is not just a course on what you do and how you lead. It is also a journey to self-discovery about who you are as a leader. You will discover the power of embodied leadership and will learn how to lead with authenticity, resilience and impact.
This retreat will teach you to:
- Take confident decisions, voice your opinion and take up space, even in high-pressure situations
- Set clear boundaries and stay true to your commitments
- Build genuine connections with your team
- Navigate change and challenges and inspire others to do the same
- Manage stress and improve performance
What sets us apart:
This retreat offers a unique blend of experiential learning, expert guidance, and self-discovery that traditional courses simply can’t match, as they focus solely on theory and cognitive knowledge. The Embodied Leadership Retreat offers you somatic practices, and cutting-edge leadership strategies that connect your mind, body, and spirit. By physically experiencing situations, you’ll approach them with more confidence and will be able to skilfully guide your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour in a calm and collected way.
