The Embodied Leadership Intensive

INTRODUCING

For leaders wanting a leadership program that honors your values, your lived experience, your humanity and prepares you for this moment.

Most leadership programs teach from outdated leadership theory and static skills that do not meet the current workspace landscape.

This program teaches leaders how to be leaders, in a way that honors identity, humanity, lived experience, and real-world complexity.
What truly sets The Embodied Leadership Intensive™ apart is that it is:
Identity-Aware & Human-Centered
We don’t treat your identity, values, background, or lived experience as an afterthought. They are central to how you lead. This program understands that who you are shapes how you lead, and gives you tools to make that your strength, not a barrier.
Embodiment-Based (Not Just Cognitive)
I don’t stop at theory. You learn to lead from your body, your presence, your grounding, your intuition- the parts of you that actually show up in real-time leadership moments.
Designed for Hybrid + Modern Reality
Most programs still operate from pre-2020 leadership assumptions. The Embodied Leadership Program acknowledges hybrid burnout, identity pressure, constant change, and the emotional complexity of leading right now.
Rooted in Adult Learning Principles
You learn the way adults actually learn: through reflection, real-time application, storytelling, discussion, and practice — not passive consumption. You will receive tools and approaches to make your learning sustainable, allowing you to put your learning into action.
Small Cohort, Deep Transformation
This is not a giant webinar. It’s intimate, immersive, relational, and built for depth- built for you and your unique leadership abilities.
Led by a facilitator who understands identity, culture, and human behavior
You’re not learning from someone who read a book about leadership. You’re learning from someone who has trained leaders across industries, identities, and lived experiences — and brings a deeply human, grounded, culturally aware lens.

I bring 10+ years of experience working with leaders, teams, and organizations across the world. I pair this rich experience with lived experience, intuition, and a deep understanding of the emotional, cultural, and identity layers of leadership. Within this program, what I bring includes:
A unique blend of lived and professional experience
I’ve led in corporate, nonprofit, community, and academic spaces.
I’ve taught leaders across backgrounds, identities, and roles.
I understand the realities leaders face because I’ve lived them and supported thousands through them.
Identity- and values- rooted leadership lens
Your leadership doesn’t thrive in a vacuum. It thrives when your humanity is honored.
I bring a culturally aware, psychologically grounded approach that sees the whole leader, not just the role.
Adult learning expertise
I design learning that actually transforms behavior, not just inspires you for a moment.
Emotional intelligence + embodiment tools
I help you connect to the version of you that can lead with calm, clarity, and emotional grounding, even in uncomfortable or high-pressure moments.
Grounding + strategy
I blend structure with experimentation, strategy with grounding techniques, helping you build a leadership practice that feels aligned, not forced.
A deeply human approach
I don’t teach performative leadership. I teach authentic, embodied, values-forward leadership — the kind that sustains careers, communities, and teams.
When you join this program, you’re not receiving information. You’re receiving guidance, support, and a leadership evolution shaped by my experience, my design, and my commitment to your growth.

Because leadership shapes everything: your wellbeing, your confidence, your opportunities, your earning potential, your relationships, your team dynamics, and your long-term career trajectory.
Here’s what the program investment actually gives you:
A permanent upgrade in how you lead
You will walk away with a clearer presence, stronger identity, and more grounded confidence — skills that impact every job, team, and opportunity you touch afterward.
Tools that reduce burnout and emotional overwhelm
This directly translates into better performance, satisfaction, and long-term career sustainability.
Improved communication + conflict navigation
Skills that immediately increase your effectiveness in hybrid, remote, and cross-functional environments.
Leadership clarity that opens doors
When you understand your leadership identity and can articulate it — you become more promotable, more visible, and more influential.
A leadership vision that guides your next chapter
This is the work that shapes promotions, pivots, new roles, and new opportunities.
A modern, relevant, research-backed curriculum
You’re not paying for inspiration — you’re paying for transformation, grounded in adult learning, emotional intelligence, and embodiment.
Long-term impact
This investment stays with you for years. Every role, every team, every relationship benefits.
The ROI isn’t just financial — though it often is. It’s emotional, energetic, relational, and strategic. It’s the difference between leading from survival and leading from alignment.

This program isn’t about becoming a stereotypical leader.
It’s about becoming your most aligned, grounded, powerful version of a leader.
