Every leader has a unique action style made visible in her movement signature. Find out how your intentional thoughts are linked to movement behavior and are an unconscious source for understanding yourself; get physical training to extend and increase your expressive choices to allow for more conscious communication. There is evidence that women may be more aware than men of the potential costs of leadership. Women do worry about the contradictions between acceptable feminine behavior and the requirements of powerful positions. Some describe themselves as potentially very unlikable in such roles, using words such as "dominating, aggressive," "opinionated," "power hungry, ... mean," "bossy, direct and aggressive. Clearly, they recognize the near-impossibility of "softening" one's image while yet maintaining the air of authority, determination and competence necessary to convince others that they can exercise strong leadership. The Embodied Leadership workshop is designed for Women in leadership roles to regenerate, refocus and refine their leadership capacity. Using a choreographic model and "somatic mindfulness", we will develop strategies for more effective business interactions. The setting for this weekend is a beautiful retreat center in Northern California. Movement and the body are the starting points for Embodied Leadership. We will focus internal Body Wisdom to address "burn-out", extend influencing skills, deepen intention for greater Presence, and stimulate intuition for direct knowing. Play, creativity, movement and quiet are channels for becoming Embodied. Experience how body knowledge can be used in your personal and professional lives to bring greater balance, value and enjoyment as a leader. Embodied Leadership training is based on the Laban Movement Analysis System, Choreographic processes; and facilitated through the listening training of Council.*
(Council is a listening and speaking practice drawn from diverse cultures. Council fosters attentive listening, authentic expression, creative spontaneity, and a pathway to self-discovery.)
