Leadership Embodiment Course Offerings

  • Programs are fun, experiential and interactive.
  • Leave the course with useful actionable applications.
  • Practices are simple, made to be used in the moment and sustainable through the learning in the body.
  • We don’t just explain a process, we train together using experiential exercises.
  • We practice in real time, contrasting our habits with new processes that we apply to challenging real life scenarios.
  • By practicing with the body and the mind, we build the capacity to shift, while under pressure, to a more skillful and responsive state.

Public courses

The LE courses are designed to offer participants a structured learning environment that covers language, context for the exercises that will be practiced during the course, and real time partner practice. The course format follows this process to create an understanding of the principles and language used in the model and the opportunity to experience and “road test” the exercises in real time during the course. Debriefing and open Q&A are built into all courses.

Testimonials What our clients say about LE

“A fantastic way to be introduced to the LE model. The videos’ questions and shared group learning made the program fun and interesting. The material and techniques are very applicable, simple and useful. The built in practice reminders I could set for myself were really helpful.”

Mark

“I was initially drawn to this work noticing how a couple of my friends and colleagues made noticeable changes in how they were showing up in our interactions. Meeting Wendy, and then Tiphani, validated that for me. The most impactful developmental aspect of Leadership Embodiment for me is its practical application on the go, while my life is happening, and with a few simple power steps, reconnecting to my body and my breath, I find my center again, and again.”

A path through the LE model

If you are interested in experiencing the LE work, we suggest you start with a Level 1 fundamentals course. The Level 2 intermediate and Retreat courses are next step offerings to help you continue your development in the practices.

Are you a coach, or want to become a coach that is trained to skillfully share the LE model with your clients?

Fundamentals Course

Your Introduction starts Here

Level 1
Step 1

This course offers participants an introduction to LE, language, practices and principles. Through simple physical exercises that apply light pressure, we are able to recognize the patterns that arise when we are in intense situations. Once we are familiar with our pattern, we apply centering practices to help us shift to a more creative, compassionate and skillful state. Working in pairs, we chunk down learning exercises to create a lasting imprint in the body. Individual debrief and group discussions create a dynamic learning container.

The LE Level 1 Fundamentals course introduces practices for cultivating the 3 Fundamental LE Competencies:

  • Being inclusive, especially in difficult situations
  • Listening to everything that is being said without taking things personally
  • Speaking up for what we believe in, even when there is strong resistance

Level 2
Step 2

Building on the foundation of the Fundamentals Level 1, the Intermediate Level 2 course offers participants an opportunity to deepen their awareness and explore their patterns and centering practice in a variety of situations. A clearer understanding of the language and principals of the LE model allows for greater insights into the ways stressors affect the body. Discover how muscle groups tighten or extend releasing chemicals that change the way your mind thinks and the way you speak.

The LE Level 2 Intermediate course will introduce you to:

  • Working with the wooden practice sword to raise energy and increase your capacity for positive power, especially when Speaking Up
  • Working with greater inspiration to address challenges with more ease
  • Aligning your body and speech to become more effective at influencing the environment
