Transformative leadership development

 

The most transformative leadership development program I’ve taken…

Wasn’t a leadership development program.

It was a yoga teacher training.

—

I’ve been through many reputable leadership programs.

Completed an MBA and other programs led by top scholars.

Done a ton of personality and strength assessments.

Undergone training and coaching at major companies.

But nothing unlocked my leadership potential more than my training as a yoga teacher.

—

The program didn’t just pack my (already overactive) mind with new ideas, frameworks and checklists.

It changed my entire way of being.

Beyond gaining the skills to facilitate a yoga class, I learned to:

  • Regulate my nervous system

  • Maintain a compassionate, grounding presence

  • Embrace quiet and stillness

  • Build supportive self care practices and manage my energy

  • Non-judgmentally observe my thoughts and tendencies

  • Use my emotions as guideposts

  • Respond rather than react

—

These lessons in self leadership have completely transformed the way I show up in my life and work.

I apply them when I’m navigating conflict, facilitating coaching conversations, delivering presentations, fielding tough questions, making strategic decisions and dealing with uncertainty.

They’ve helped me become a more resilient, effective and connected leader.

—

Traditional leadership development programs focus on the tools of leadership.

Most invite some self-reflection and encourage practical application of the taught skills.

But it’s rare for a program to create the conditions for deep personal transformation.

This is where Arborvida finds its niche.

Arborvida brings transformative mindfulness practices into the leadership and coaching context.

The clients I work with are devoted to using their gifts and talents to have a positive impact on the world.

They believe that to change the world, they must start with themselves.

My mission is to support them on that journey.

If you’re ready to undertake a transformational leadership development journey and step into new ways of being in your life and work, I’d love to explore working together.
