Many leadership books present models for thinking and speaking, but
very few address the role of the body in leading effectively. Yet,
a great deal of the effect we have on others is carried by our
physical presence. Our body postures hold the key to lowering
emotional reactivity, while increasing our power, resilience and
flexibility. Leadership Embodiment delivers a practical "user's
guide" for effective embodied leadership, enabling practitioners
to: Project a powerful, open and expansive leadership presence
Create an inclusive atmosphere for collaboration and team work
Receive feedback and listen from a place of open curiosity, and
Stand their ground and speak the truth in the face of pressure
Leadership Embodiment techniques are based on principles from the
non-aggressive martial art of Aikido, mindfulness practices, and
posture awareness. They are designed to mitigate the impact of the
stress and intensity inherent in leadership and daily life-like
getting through a traffic jam, a promotion, a wedding, the loss of
a job, winning a competition, making a production deadline,
rallying a team after a loss, or making a product pitch. All
leaders, be they CEOs, line supervisors, parents, consultants, care
givers, administrators, teachers, coaches . . . can use these
simple practices to learn to act with power, skill, and compassion.
In part one of the book, Wendy Palmer offers simple postural
practices that broaden our perspective, enhance interconnection and
build confidence, accompanied by illustrations by Jen Mahoney. In
part two, Janet Crawford pulls from cutting edge research in
neuroscience and evolutionary biology to offer a biological
explanation for the efficacy of the Leadership Embodiment
techniques.
