The Art of Being an Embodied Leader

Why are so many employees exhausted, burned out, and afraid to come back to the office in our post-pandemic world?
Why did 47 million dissatisfied workers leave their jobs in 2021?
Why are leaders grasping to find new ways to lead people because the old ways no longer work?

The question is, what if we could make big changes simply by tapping into our own bodies and choosing to see from a new perspective?

As a somatic/movement teacher for over 20 years, a dancer/choreographer, and a survivor of trauma, Phoebe Leona shares her unique view of how we can experience positive changes in our workplaces in the midst of these traumatic and chaotic times by empowering more leaders to lead, grow, and expand themselves with their team by becoming more embodied.

In this inspiring keynote, Phoebe guides leaders to the new frontier of leadership through a deeper connection of their own hearts and bodies on a micro level and zooms out to see the workplace on a macro level to build our new CEO’s of our present and future by teaching these pillars:
C-Centeredness
E- Emotionally Intelligent, Empathetic
O- Openness in transparency, Open communication, and creating Open safe spaces.

These pillars will lead the participants to these learning objectives:
Experience a few easy somatic practices on how to build emotional intelligence by starting with the awareness of the body to become more a confident leader.
Understand how to connect with your team on a more empathetic level to meet their needs, uplift their strengths, and when to let go of expectations so they feel empowered to lead and succeed.
Learn how to become more transparent and vulnerable to create safe and inclusive spaces for your team to thrive.

The stories and practices Phoebe shares in this transformational experience, builds trust and emotional intelligence for our Embodied Leaders to walk away feeling more self aware, empathetic, and socially motivated to lead our organizations with a deeper connection to their hearts and everyone around them.

Our Body Knows: Unpack the Stories Within to Empower Your Life

If you have ever been blindsided by a major event in your life, you may want to ask your body if it knew way before it happened.

The question is, if you knew what your body knew, would you make different choices in your life to live in alignment with your soul’s desires?

Phoebe Leona shares a shocking story of how her body sent her signs months before she lost her entire life as she knew it. See and experience the body in a new way on an energetic level to begin to liberate the old stories that are carried around for years without even knowing it.

From over 20 years of being a somatic/movement teacher, Phoebe shares with participants in this powerful keynote on how to wake up to the stories they carry in their bodies so they feel free to make more clear and empowered choices in their lives. She will guide participants to this clarity with confidence so that they become more self aware and emotionally intelligent to make a more positive impact on their lives and our world.

From Phoebe's teaching she guides participants a space to listen to their own body with these 3 simple outcomes on how to:
Stop. Learn the science of emotions and how to be still with the old story loop that keeps you stuck, trapped, and unaware.
Ask Questions. Explore the art of curiosity and the right questions to ask to realign with the messages your body wants you to know now.
Give it Expression. Experience a couple of easy somatic (of the body) practices to integrate in your life to transform your story to one that is more aware and aligned with what your soul desires most.

This transformational experience is filled with tons of valuable information and easy and tangible tactics that are critical in having more emotionally evolved people who are living in their true alignment with their purpose. Your audience will walk away with practical information and tools that they can take with them, integrate, and share with their team, family, and their lives- they will become more aware, empowered, and ready to make positive changes within themselves.

Phoebe brings a unique perspective with powerful and inspirational stories and knowledge that is based on simply listening to the body and it's messages to embody life to the fullest. Think of these talks going beyond the very popular "mindset work" discussions and step into a deeper understanding of how to transform your life from the inside out to change your entire blueprint for a better life and world.

Phoebe's talk was equally informative and engaging as it was honest and heartfelt - her message was exactly what I needed to hear and receive that day. I firmly believe that in order to live and move through this world fearlessly and unapologetically (especially as a woman) is to have unwavering trust in our own intuition, and that begins with listening to our bodies and the messages they send us. When we are able to create the space for our whole selves to be witnessed we have the ability to reclaim our power and Phoebe gave us all an opportunity to be reminded of that choice.
