Our programs are unique. We translate principles from the Japanese martial art Aikido, mindfulness and bioscience into effective and sustainable practices.

Aikido

Practices adapted from Aikido, a Japanese art, help us recover more quickly when we are under pressure.

The body needs alternatives to fight, flight and freeze. Our programs develop the ability to be relaxed, creative and open when faced with a stressor or low grade threat.

Mindfulness

We share mindfulness principles that can be applied without needing to practice traditional meditation.

We use techniques to build our capacity to respond from a more centered state that offers greater choice and perspective.

Bioscience

The stress hormone cortisol can narrow our perception and inhibit the parts of our brain that govern big picture thinking, creativity and risk taking.

We train the body to shift from narrow to expansive. This allows broader perspective and enables our interactions to be more thoughtful, creative and inclusive.

What people are saying about Leadership Embodiment

“I was initially drawn to this work noticing how a couple of my friends and colleagues made noticeable changes in how they were showing up in our interactions. Meeting Wendy, and then Tiphani, validated that for me. The most impactful developmental aspect of Leadership Embodiment for me is its practical application on the go, while my life is happening, and with a few simple power steps, reconnecting to my body and my breath, I find my center again, and again.”

Atta Emami

MBA, IMC, MSc. Org Change Consultant,
Facilitator, Leadership Coach, Certified
Yoga Teacher

“Working with Leadership Embodiment has had a direct and profound impact in both my personal and professional life. The ability to “center” and “rebalance” has been invaluable as I grow our business through uncharted waters. These new skills have played a key role in both my home and work success.”

John L. Hall

Senior Vice President, Oracle University

“The LE work has given me tools to handle stress, pressure and conflict in my life and at work with more compassion and ease. I appreciate how these techniques allow me to interact with others without taking things personally. This practice supports me in meeting the fast pace demands of my career with more humor and precision. I will be forever grateful having had the opportunity to incorporate this work into my daily routine.”

Michelle Gale

Principal at Beyond Insight, Coaching &
Consulting

“I’ve used the methods that I learned in Leadership Embodiment every single day, and they’ve quietly transformed the way that I deal with the challenges and opportunities that present themselves in my life – at work and at home.”

Chris Grant

Founder of 14A Conversations

“Leadership Embodiment has brought my professional practice and my way to be in the world to an entirely new level. These are the tools that are needed for today’s challenges. They are simple to remember, practical, immediately rewarding and deeply grounded in ancient wisdom. If you want to be at your best and access your highest inspiration, start here. I always come back to the simple and precise LE principles. They are lifesavers and they help me grow into the person I truly am.”

Pierre Goirand

International Coach and Facilitator

“Leadership Embodiment has had a profound, lasting impact on my life which continues. Over the years of practicing this work, I’ve found my ability to respond, rather than react to situations has grown exponentially. I am able to tap into more kindness, courage and wisdom, and a sense of lightness and humour with it, while at the same time being able to say what’s important for me.

When sharing this work with clients, they are astounded at the immediacy of their learning and the range of application. A reminder that the body is a shortcut and we can all access its intelligence. It has been a privilege and a gift to learn with Wendy Palmer, who has created these amazing practices and is a testament to them, herself.”

Karen White

Integral Coach and Regional Director for LE

“Over the past several years I’ve worked with many physicians and university leaders. They have managed complex and stressful challenges during the COVID pandemic. They tell me that the most important things they’ve learned in our work together, are the Leadership Embodiment techniques. They have been able to apply their learning to manage their own stress and to show up more calm, centered, and effective with their colleagues, with the people they manage, and with their clients.

I had a breakthrough in a recent LE Retreat I attended. In one of the activities, I reached a level of clarity that propelled my long-desired book project forward.“

Catherine Bachy

Leadership Coach, Facilitator, and Author

“I’ve never met Wendy or Tiphani but taking the online LE program was like getting 1 on 1 instruction from them. The videos are great and you really get a good sense of the principals they are communicating. I loved the different focus in each Module and could see how the Centering practice is such a useful tool. I’ve been practicing daily and find it very helpful for building my confidence.”

Michelle

“A fantastic way to be introduced to the LE model. The videos’ questions and shared group learning made the program fun and interesting. The material and techniques are very applicable, simple and useful. The built in practice reminders I could set for myself were really helpful.”
