Be a Grounded Leader & Upend Uncertainty
Join our April 23rd virtual workshop and begin building a future worth winning through embodied leadership, practice, and peer support.
Imagine this scenario…
The Zoom screen flickers, a mosaic of anxious faces staring back at you. As the CEO of a global human rights organization, you have spent the last 3 months in a relentless sprint.
Lately, your work has felt more like a personal assault with each new policy change, aggressive funding challenge, and a fresh wave of misinformation about your work swirl.
Deep rest feels out of reach. Most meals you have time to eat are at your desk, and the constant hum of outrage in your inbox feels like a heavy physical weight on your body.
During the last team meeting, you snapped at a direct report, the words sharp and uncharacteristic. The wave of shame that followed was a stark reminder: you are on the verge of burning out, and your team is enduring the consequences.
Your endless to-do list, coupled with the gnawing sense of isolation and the feeling that you are carrying the future of your organization alone on your back, is taking its toll on you.
Once a beacon of calm and strategic thinking, the level of uncertainty has knocked you off center, and it feels like you’re primed to explode. This red flag signals something must shift, not just for your sanity but for the movement itself.
Your big question: how do you become the grounded leader you need for this moment?
These seven ideas below will help you answer this big question…
#1 KNOW - You’re Not Alone
If this story resonates with your reality, if you, as a purpose-driven leader, feel the relentless urgency challenging your approach to leadership, know you're not alone.
The constant pressure, the weight of uncertainty, and the isolation can be paralyzing. It's easy to lose sight of the leader you need to be, trapped in reactive patterns.
But, imagine instead increasing your clarity and staying centered, even amidst the chaos. Imagine a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner strength.
If you’re craving such a space, one specifically designed for leaders like you, save your seat for our April 23rd live virtual workshop, Become the Embodied Leader You Need.
#2 BE - Become the Embodied Leader You Need
This isn't just another learning webinar; it's a transformative practice space that introduces you to practical somatic skills designed to regulate your nervous system.
Through an arrival practice, you’ll gain awareness of your body’s sensations in moments of uncertainty, and the skills to move from a reactive to a grounded state.
This workshop will create the conditions of group safety and trust before moving into a strategy session to explore the traits of embodied leadership we need right now.
This short conversation with Roey Thorpe, strategic advisor for human rights organizations, and me underscores the importance of the skills you’ll gain:

#3 BUILD - Build a Future Worth Winning
Purposefully building a future worth winning requires a clear vision that is easy to communicate and connected to committed practice and a community of peers.
That’s why Roey and I co-created this live, virtual workshop. We want to offer a sanctuary to explore your vision of embodied leadership and why it now matters.
There, you will practice bridging skills and learn about different perspectives as you establish new norms for community care and collaboration.
By the end of the workshop, you will:
Gain practical somatic tools to regulate your nervous system and respond to urgent demands with intention, not reaction.
Develop a deeper sense of connection and shared understanding through peer-to-peer dialogue, reducing feelings of isolation.
Learn strategies for bridging differences and fostering inclusive collaboration within your movement.
Clarify and communicate your leadership narrative and gain insights into leading with greater authenticity and confidence.
Imagine leaving this workshop with a renewed sense of confidence, clarity, and connection. What would be different? What would people say about you?
This session is your invitation to become the leader you need right now.
#4 CONNECT - Who is this for?
Our workshop is designed for purpose-driven leaders, movement organizers, and funders committed to social justice and liberation work.
Whether you are a seasoned or emerging leader, you'll gain fresh insights into cultivating an embodied presence capable of navigating the high degree of uncertainty.
You will gain access to a sanctuary space created to help you explore our big question: “Who do you need to become to successfully lead during these complicated times?”
#5 PRACTICE - The Belonging Practice Guide
To help you become the embodied leader this moment demands, we have developed our complimentary Belonging Practice Guide.
The guide equips you with the somatic and bridging practices required to help those you lead acknowledge and cope with the collective trauma and grief we are enduring.
Download this complimentary resource before joining our April 23rd live, virtual workshop and begin developing the leadership skills needed to match this moment.
#6 COMMUNITY - Spread the Word!
Become the leader you long to be – a leader who leads with unwavering clarity and committed practice, even in the face of immense uncertainty.
