“It’s been over a decade since a course impacted me this deeply. The course left me feeling able to be more responsive to everyday events and more present in human interactions. If you open up to this method you'll be empowered and ultimately better equipped to be more responsive to all situations and a genuinely more skillful life-long learner.

The facilitators Karen & Lisa are beautiful and warm humans who are uncannily good at making every phase of the course look effortless, despite the obvious mastery involved.

"It is 3 weeks now away that I did LE 1 with Karen White and Lisa Hansford in the Netherlands. It was an incredible experience for me. Why? Because there is no quicker way to become aware of patterns that are deeply rooted in our personality. Even if I reflect a lot there were quite some surprises that made completely sense. The centering practice is really helpful and I got the chance to embody how it feels to not do everything with power, tension and on my own (my personality) but to connect to a deeper source or rather space as a resource. And how easy I can move forward with this power is as an embodied experience in me and I very often re-activate it which makes life easier. Thanks for the inspiration and your great way of "being" that work Karen and Lisa!”

"It was a privilege to meet Karen White (MCC) and Lisa Hansford in person. The enthusiasm with which they both bring Leadership Embodiment into the world is admirable and contagious. Once you‘ve become curious about this topic, it is usually out of personal motivation - and that makes it all the more exciting. You meet like-minded, admirable and open people and learn a ton from each other. The effect of the practical exercises that are integrated into everyday life (in my case, for example before and after the daily running program) are noticed and rewarded by the people around you - and perhaps even more importantly by yourself - both in business and private life . Finally, the body is an ally!"

Leadership Embodiment Training in South Africa

For many people in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world, less is more. As human beings we are continuously bombarded with sensory information and our nervous system is overloaded.

Leadership Embodiment offers a way to work directly at the level of our nervous system, using simple processes and deliberate practice.

Leadership Embodiment, developed more than 20 years ago, was ahead of its time as it addresses how shift at the level of our nervous system. One of the principles of this work is that “Energy organises around what is most articulate in our system.”, and Leadership Embodiment enables us to re-organize and re-pattern our energy and attention.

We are delighted to be offering Leadership Embodiment courses and practice groups.
