Embodied Training for Coaches, Trainers, Consultants and HR Professionals

Friday 22^nd March 2013, 10am-5pm

With Mark Walsh of Integration Training

Hosted by Andrea Nolan of The Leadership Dimension

Our posture, movement and breathing determine what we think, how we feel and what we achieve. Our physical ‘embodied’ presence also affects how we engage with and are perceived by others. In fact, most aspects of our work, communication and relationships are embodied.

This is a practical experiential taster session for those who wish to develop these skills in a business or general work context.

What you’ll learn:

How the body influences our impact
How to work with the body confidently and safely
Practical embodied tools you can use the next day with clients
An overview of the field and relevant theory and research
About yourself – what is hidden that is limiting your work
About others – how their bodies may be impacting their work
Applications within leadership, stress/time/change management, team building, coaching and communication training
Practices to develop leadership impact and influence – for yourself and your clients
Techniques to manage pressure, complexity and change, and to develop greater emotional intelligence
How to better ‘read’ others and employ your intuition
Tips on how to make this work accessible and relevant within a no-nonsense business environment

HR professionals interested in exploring embodiment
Organisational leaders and heads of department
Teachers looking to explore a different domain of learning
