How can you stay centered and present as you lead, especially in times of adversity?
In this 3-hour online workshop, you’ll engage with the fundamentals of embodied leadership to support you in a time of overwhelm and reconnect you to your sense of purpose as a leader. As you confront institutional challenges, social upheaval, and limited resources in this time of the pandemic, you’ll learn trauma-informed tools to help regulate your nervous system, hold appropriate boundaries, and expand your window of tolerance for deep conversation, including tools for working with intersectional oppression. In this powerful process, you’ll explore how your personal history impacts your leadership and how the integration of your core values is the foundation for embodied leadership. The tools offered here can be implemented in your work immediately, but they’ll also sustain you in a more holistic process of embodying your leadership.
Receive and practice tools for regulating your nervous system during a time of overwhelm and social and political upheaval to promote collaborative and relational work environments.
Practice skills for holding healthy boundaries along with learning new ways of listening and engaging in conversations about race and intersectional oppression during a time of crisis.
Learn how to perceive your own and others’ window of tolerance for learning and group discussion.
