Learn to unify your body’s message with what is being said to enhance satisfaction in your life and your capacity for effective leadership. Through simple physical forms, work in pairs, and group discussions, this module offers you:

• Insights into your personal reactive patterns and limiting assumptions.
• Tools and practices that help you increase your presence, confidence, compassion and sense of humor as you deal with organizational change.
• An approach to synchronize the body’s energy with what is being said, bringing unity and clarity into action.
• Increased capacity to live with paradox and the tension between opposites.
• A way to recover balance and clarity when faced with moral, business, and political dilemmas.

On a good day, with a great colleague and an interesting project, anyone can be inspiring, a good listener and a clear communicator. But what happens to our effectiveness and friendliness under pressure? These embodiment practices teach us to re-center ourselves, especially under daily pressures like conflicts, deadlines or a very successful project. Centering will in turn re-balance our inner state of being, emotionally and mentally. It enables us to communicate confidence, compassion and clarity by consciously re-aligning our physical posture in all circumstances.

“Wendy is a superb teacher with a special gift for imparting knowledge through body, mind, and spirit. She uses patience, humor, and intuitive insight to help students realize their potential.”

– George Leonard, Author of “Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment“

Wendy inspires many because of her unique combination of humanness and wisdom. She teaches with clarity, patience and humor.  Using her own imperfections as an example, she truly practices what she preaches.  She encourages us not to ignore or deny our reactive patterns, but rather to get to know them and befriend them. At the same time we practice re-centering ourselves. This way we can come from a confident, connected and clear place.

She invites us to accept ourselves completely as we are, including our weaknesses while at the same time practicing to bring presence and a sense of nobility into every moment. It is exactly this combination of total acceptance and total dedication to being the best we can be that makes Conscious Embodiment such a nurturing and effective practice.
