Embody Your Leadership Potential - Strozzi Institute


 

Strozzi Institute Somatic Coaching Program

Strozzi Institute offers a certification program for those interested in using a somatic approach for working with individuals, teams, and organizations. Strozzi Institute’s somatic methodology integrates linguistic coordination, a body-oriented psychology, ontological thinking, kinesthetic learning, martial arts, biology, and a somatic sensibility.

Strozzi Institute is the only coach certification program that trains coaches in the relevance of the body.

Our unique approach is developed by the pioneering work of Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Ph.D. For the past 33 years Dr. Strozzi-Heckler has researched, developed and taught the discourse of Somatics in such diverse fields as business, health, performing arts, psychology, education, sports, technology, military and the government. Dr. Strozzi-Heckler has distilled these decades of experience into a coaching model that creates effective and lasting change for individuals and teams. Coaches and consultants from other leading institutes come to Strozzi Institute to learn how to bring the distinctions and practices of Somatics into their profession. We offer a unique program that produces a depth of wisdom and skill that cannot be found elsewhere.

Somatics refers to the living body in it's wholeness-the unity of body/mind/ emotions/ and spirit. A Somatic Coach™ works with the historical, biological, social, spiritual, linguistic, and emotional aspects unique to each individual. Our Somatic Coaches™ have the skill to work with the "BodySelf" through touch, breath, movement, and paying attention. They work with these aspects to guide the individual towards new skills, new competencies and new ways of responding to life's pressures and opportunities. Somatic Coaches™ produce a strength of character and the skills to respond to life with grace and power that conversational coaching alone cannot produce.
