LEADERSHIP EMBODIMENT ASIA

Watch what we do

The body takes a shape before the mind consciously identifies a thought or feeling. Our physical being is the most direct point of intervention. How you sit and stand will change the way you think and speak.”

from "Leadership Embodiment" by Wendy Palmer and Janet Crawford

Leaders of your fields

Our programmes activate you as a more skillful listener, powerful advocator and compassionate leader to overcome the greatest challenges in your career and life.

Successful leadership isn’t just about what you know. Even the smartest most visionary leaders, once triggered can get reactive.

Under stress, your system activates cortisol that shuts down your neo-cortex - the higher-functioning and long-term thinking part of your brain; Narrow focus, hyper vigilance and defensiveness result.

Leadership Embodiment practices restore your capacity for the higher-functioning and long-term aspects –
Big picture thinking, innovation, creativity and intuition.

And suddenly I feel all the details of a given situation at one and the same time. It creates a sense of co-existence, like a school of fish taking cues from each other when swimming, or a swarm of birds in flight. This inter-sensory mode is crucial to me. "

What does LE offer in difficult times?

Insights and Observations from more than two months into COVID day-in day-out

Challenge: How long is this going to be?
With LE practice: Time can open up
In Asia, we felt the first waves late January, so there is a chronic background stress for over 2 months now. In our practice, we say "don't stay there for too long", and centre. Well, there is great aspect of not being in control of how long this goes. LE practice and Centring, has helped me be present and relax time-keeping. I'll like to contribute that where Time can feel tight and claustrophobic, LE practice and Centring has brought lots of big-picture thinking and long-term perspective for me.

Challenge: Plans, projects and results blowing up. Pressure to adapt.
With LE practice: See Big-Picture, Visionary thinking for long-haul innovations
For my clients, while being swamped with pressure of having to adapt to global impact - sales down 80% is hard to ignore, they are also fearful of losing their wealth in share value; at time of reading, the markets are losing average 35%. I offered LE practices with our potent way of accessing our resources and inspirations. They have a skilful means to "relax" the need to follow every pike and fall of their share values, looking at the longer horizon, breathing the long full breath than the panicky breath.

Socio-cultural Challenge: Blaming and Fear
With LE practice: Self-care (vertical mindfulness) and Inclusiveness (horizontal mindfulness)
In the beginning there was also blaming (low-key racism) eg mainland Chinese were viewed as separate. I recently read testimonials from Italians of feeling being treated like lepers. We had passive aggression between Chinese and Singaporeans right in a meditation retreat! People get nervous, easily triggered and can feel defensive or attacked. LE practice and Centring support staying open in conversations and working on moving through challenge together. We give you the practices and forms for the common team inspiration/declaration to be more interesting than "Blame".

I offer appreciation to the space that all our sharing of this work, and our heightened inspiration, and the global wake-up call is naturally preparing us and our would-be beneficiaries for more sanity and Noble in-person contributions to come.

Love from Singapore,
