Be here now

Lead with awareness. Lead with intention.

What This Is

True leadership isn't just about staying calm under pressure; it's about embracing all the emotions that come with it - confusion, anger, or excitement. In a world full of fast-paced change and challenges, how leaders show up matters more than ever.

Be Here Now is a science-backed program designed to strengthen your self-awareness and adaptability. We'll help you understand stress, enhance your decision-making, and respond to change with intention, fostering better communication and resilience for you and your team.

Rather than viewing stress and "dysregulation" as something to be fixed, we see it as a signal for transformation, that something needs to change - not as a demand for calm, but as a way to notice your body's sensations and make sense of them so you can be the leader you need to be. 

What We’ll Cover

  • Embodied Leadership provides tools and techniques to enhance strategic thinking during times of dysregulation, change, and transformation.

  • Managing Resistance focuses on skills to manage resistance and conflict with colleagues while practicing nervous system awareness.

  • Designing Your Embodied Leadership leverages human-centered design to create a practical action plan and make embodied leadership your own. 

The Be Here Now program supports critical business priorities through:

  • Increased Presence & Awareness: Cultivate deeper emotional literacy and awareness in your leadership style to better respond to the people and teams you work with.

  • Enhanced Adaptability: Equip yourself to navigate change, uncertainty, and difficult conversations with more ease and confidence.

  • Intentional Alignment: Respond to shifting priorities with greater intention and co-regulated alignment.

Who This is A Good Fit For

Be Here Now is for leaders, individuals, and teams seeking to:

  • Enhance nervous system awareness for better decision-making and improved workplace relationships.

  • Build empowerment and understanding of your emotions during times of change.

  • Experiment, reflect, and refine new and existing leadership choices.

  • Be curious, inspire, and lead with authenticity and courage.
