The Embodied Leader

I think we can all agree that the online marketing space (personal brands, coaches etc) has a bias towards specific privilege and people living in bodies with those privilege. 

This episode, we’re breaking down the immensely important topic of how certain body types, racial identities and abilities are more "acceptable" and "allowed" to be visible and market their work, or to be on stages delivering keynotes or creative endeavours. 

Navigating growth as a coach, thought leader or creative and really, any kind of human…. is challenging at the best of times, but what if you also have a strong inner critic?

Not being seen is a deep wound for many, wanting to be seen is a deep desire for many, and being seen can bring up some big feelings and embodied survival responses that can be really challenging to manage … what a conundrum.

- What happens when our desire to be seen is greater than our capacity (trauma)?

- How seeing ourselves is an important step towards being seen by others.

Finding the courage to be in your brilliance isn't always the easiest thing to do... systemic narratives and personal lived experience might say "that's not safe" ~ and so we hold back, turn our flame down, suppress what we really want to say.

This episode dives into the principles of embodiment and embodied leadership AND, how they support our leadership, coaching and communication!

What would results and experiences look like for the people we support if our coaching model was sustainable, ethical and regenerative?

In this episode, Elise shares about a coaching model concept that supports the nervous system work she does with her clients ~ we’re talking about the slow coaching model or slow coaching vs fast results coaching and how this is better for our nervous systems and the nervous systems of our clients, as well as helping us create lasting change in our work.

Episode 12: Mistakes I've Made As a Coach and Leader (Assuming I Was A Safe Space), ruffled a few feathers.

"Do the inner work" is a phrase that's thrown around a lot in the coaching industry.
