An 8-week training programme for experienced executive and leadership coaches.

You already have good coaching skills, established models and a way of working that serves most clients well. None of that needs replacing.

Executive coaching doesn’t need fewer cognitive tools. It needs greater range.

What can be harder is knowing what to do when something in session tells you the client might need something else.

Embodied Performance gives you a practical way to recognise when your usual approach is working, notice when it may not be getting through, and decide where it might be useful to enter. Sometimes that will mean bringing somatic work into the conversation, without abandoning the coaching approach you already trust.

You don’t need to become a neuroscientist to use somatic work well.

But you do need enough understanding to know what you may be seeing, why a particular approach might help, and when it might not.

So alongside the practical work, we look at the science underneath it: arousal and regulation, hyperarousal and hypoarousal, interoception and exteroception, attention, breathing, and the relationship between physiological state and our capacity to think, reflect and respond.

The point isn’t to learn the science for its own sake.

It’s so that when you choose to work with the body, you know why, and you have a credible rationale for that choice rather than reaching for a technique because it’s familiar.

The programme runs over eight weeks and combines recorded teaching, live sessions and facilitated small-group practice. You get enough theory to understand the work, and enough practice to actually use it.
