Real Change is Embodied
settings
Embodiment is when your actions consistently reflect your values and your commitment, especially under pressure. When you stay embodied under pressure, you become an inspiring leader in your personal life and in your team. Our Embodied Leadership Pathway aligns your vision of who you want to be with daily practices to actually live your leadership everyday.

Why Embodied Leadership?
settings
We all know a leader when we see one.
settings
Imagine this: a new member of your team walks into the room, or a potential partner joins you for a lunch meeting. You can intuit almost immediately that they are an exceptional leader. They don’t even need to speak for you to sense that they are grounded in their values, true to their word, and able to attract the followers and resources needed to achieve their goals. This is embodied leadership in action. When we help people embody their values, their ability to stay centered and present as they lead—in spite of any adversity—is what allows them to drive transformational change.
Embodied learning means knowledge is retained and utilized not only from a cognitive understanding, but from a felt experience through the body. This felt experience means that you will be able to take new actions aligned with your values and vision, even under the same old pressures.

Participants say it best
settings
"When you lead from your values everything changes. I was already a high performer, and then I learned how to communicate more powerfully and become more purposeful. I was living in a more balanced way and was offered a promotion within 6 months of going through the Strozzi programs."
settings
-Caroline Peani, Formerly Capital One, currently Amazon

"We wanted a game changer for accelerating our high performing teams and our leadership team. I've worked with a lot of different leadership programs and the Strozzi Institute’s is the one that works. It was dramatically different than anything I had experience before. It's their ability to connect the mind, language, action, and the body into sustainable practices. And we were able to see actual true change in a very short amount of time. It deeply resonated with our teams in a meaningful and authentic way."

- John Pershing, SVP HR Ascena Retail Group

"Real deal if you want to transform your culture, your organization, or your team. This is something that makes a difference. It’s immediately beneficial and it lasts. They are the only ones who do this. I’ve seen nothing like it."

Embodied Leadership Level One

Four-Day Course + Webinar
settings
This course is the foundation in Embodied Leadership transformation. It powerfully aligns your vision of who you want to be with daily somatic practices to live your leadership everyday. You will build a declaration, or statement of vision, toward a future that you want. You will explore your conditioned tendencies—the habitual actions that you’ve learned in the past—that may or may not be serving you now. Through our methodology, your entire being, including your actions, speech, emotions, moods and physical presence, aligns with your vision. When you stay embodied, even under pressure, you will become a truly inspiring leader.
settings
Embodied Leadership Level Two
settings
Four-Day Course + Webinar
settings
Boldly advance your Embodied Leadership presence with confidence, composure, and connection. Shift how people in the workplace evaluate you closer to how you want to authentically show up. Identify yourself along the Somatic Arc of Transformation toward your leadership declaration. Explore the shape of your Conditioned Tendencies and how they are driven by your history and social context. Develop the advanced ability to shift your automatic reactions when you are under pressure and lead from center.

One-on-One Embodied Leadership Coaching

Strozzi Institute Somatic Coaches are trained in helping individuals produce fundamental and sustainable change by moving beyond simple verbal coaching to include observation of the whole you. Your coach will assist you in identifying your vision and challenges, defining new successes, and supporting you in new practice. Somatic Coaching will allow you to excel in areas that you didn’t think were possible.

Do I have to take all the courses in a series, or can I take them a la carte?

While not necessary, we strongly encourage individuals to pursue all of the courses within a series. Because our methodology is grounded in practice and embodied transformation, your practice deepens with each course. We hear repeatedly from our students that "the more you learn, the better it gets." It’s also our recommendation to space out your courses, allowing for a bit of breathing room between learning experiences. We’ll happily work through a learning plan with you—feel free to book a consultation with a program advisor anytime.
