This course will cover how reconnecting with your body and emotions supports clearer thinking, better decision-making, and more grounded self-leadership in everyday work situations. You’ll explore how developing your self-awareness and tuning into physical sensations and emotional cues helps you respond, not just react, especially under pressure. Through practical tools for self-regulation, embodied listening, and emotional resourcing, you’ll build greater confidence, clarity, and presence in your role. Be prepared to engage with your inner experience as this session invites you to notice, name, and work with what’s happening in your body and mind in real time.
This workshop relates to the “Self-leadership” competency outlined in the Competency Framework.
Please note that a similar workshop was delivered in 2024/25 under the title “Leading from within: leadership starts with yourself”.
