Description of Webinar
Do you want to lean how individuals and organizations can move from activity-based busy-ness and overwhelm to resilience and commitment-based results? This session will develop an awareness of the current linguistic, emotional and physiological patterns that create a task-oriented work ethic, which can lead to the sense that there is an ever-growing to-do list. Join us to learn the structure of commitment-based action, as we engage you in whole body practices that build new neural pathways and provide you with a depth of choice to relate to others with more intention and clarity, and to facilitate the development of resilience.
As social animals, we broadcast to others. Our clients say they want to be more present, more at ease, find their voice, find their value. In order to be present, to create that space, it starts with the body and our ability to settle our nervous system. Overwhelmed leaders, parents may unknowingly be bringing their own unease, overwhelm, even panic to others through somatic connection. Effective leaders (and coaches) create safe spaces, including and most importantly with yourself! As coaches it is important to be aware of and create psychological safety. It happens in our body. Resilience grows in safety. Coaches will learn about Somatics and Nervous System Patterns, including breath and voice, giving coaches a place to intervene with their clients and themselves to bring the safety and resilience needed in the face of overwhelm. During the session you will engage in paired exercises to experience the habitual tendencies that have been reinforced over time and practice ways to deepen listening through increased consciousness and results-oriented accountability. At the end of the session you will have the benefit of sharing this with coaching clients, as well as the ability to practice navigating yourself out of overwhelm.
