In Embodied Leadership Training (ELT) we use principles and exercises from a lead-and-follow partner dance to provide an unquestionably embodied experience of leadership. When you dance, you access your body, and you get to feel and sense the person you’re dancing with. In each moment, you have an instant sense of what you do and how it affects the person you’re dancing with.
As the leader, what happens to your follower when you’re uncertain and unclear? Do they feel tense up, anxious, unsafe, or decide to stop following you all together? As the follower, what happens to your leader when you’re not trusting? Does it create conflict, disharmony or friction? And what happens to the dance?
Weaving leadership teachings through dance as the vehicle, participants experience new understandings of leadership, communication, teamwork, creativity, and core skills that can only be gained through the physical experience of feeling it in the body. It gives individuals direct feedback as to how they can next evolve as a leader (no matter their designated title at work), and gives the team greater understanding of how to work with more cohesion and flow.
ELT is the most forward-moving training for business teams who want to significantly up-level their leadership, communication, trust, team continuity, culture, authenticity, and aliveness at work.
