Centering In Presence – for Women’s Leadership
Rev. angel Kyodo williams combines training for the heart-mind with training for the body-mind, to present a new way of leadership:
Leadership can be cultivated by anyone. More than a position, being a true leader calls us to practice ways of being that catalyze collective action toward a shared vision. Yet most of us have learned leadership approaches that have two major obstacles:
- They don’t stimulate the pressure we feel when confronting everyday situations
- They use approaches of the mind to address habits, patterns, and behaviors that are held in our body
The result? We find it difficult to translate our training and our best intentions into how we show up as leaders.
This workshop for women combines training for the heart-mind with training for the body-mind to present another way. Third Way methodology teaches self-diagnostic tools and practical skills you can apply in the moment and over time to take your leadership capacity to the next level.
Learn to use the power of centering in presence to manage energy, exhibit grace under pressure, and listen without taking things personally. Go beyond mind-only practices that allow patterns of ancestral, generational, and day-to-day anxiety to drive you. Tap into the deep wisdom of your body to develop positive boundaries, increase self-awareness, and release unwanted behaviors with self-compassion, humor, and love.
