Leadership is fundamentally about presence, connection, and our ability to sense and respond to the living systems around us. This three-part workshop series draws on adult development theory and Theory U to support leaders on a journey from self-awareness to deeper connection with others.

Whether you're leading in organizations, communities, or other spaces, these workshops offer practical tools and insights for growing the inner qualities that make leadership feel more natural and sustainable. Through gentle embodied practices, thoughtful conversation, and exploring how we sense what's happening around us, participants will discover how to lead from a place of greater ease and authentic connection. Each workshop builds on the previous one while also being valuable on its own.

Workshop 1: Embodied Leadership - Leading from Presence / September 13 / 1-3 pm

Explore how developing deeper awareness of yourself—your body, breath, energy, and intentions—creates the groundwork for all other leadership skills. Through embodied practices and reflection, discover how genuine presence affects your ability to listen, make clear decisions, and create safety for others. What might become possible when you lead from your most authentic, grounded self?

Workshop 2: From Reactive to Responsive Leadership  / October 4 / 1-3 pm

Learn to recognize when you're caught in old patterns and develop tools for letting go of what no longer serves. This workshop explores the capacity to release outdated ways of being and thinking, creating space for new possibilities to emerge in yourself and your leadership. Through embodied practices, discover how to suspend judgment and open to fresh perspectives. How might your leadership transform when you can truly let go of the need to control outcomes?

Workshop 3: Conscious Communication for Leaders  / November 1 / 1-3 pm

Apply your growing self-awareness to deepen your relationships and communication effectiveness. Explore approaches that honor both clarity and compassion, learning to navigate important conversations while maintaining connection and achieving meaningful outcomes. Discover how tuning into your whole self helps you really hear others and speak from your heart. What becomes available in your relationships when you communicate from a place of genuine presence and openness?

This series creates a warm, supportive learning community where leaders can practice being vulnerable, grow in self-awareness, and develop the relationship skills that help create positive change in our connected world.
