    Embodied Leadership - With Special Guest, Scott Robinson

    In this episode, Artemis Evangelidi speaks with Scott Robinson, who has spent over two decades in the world of finance while also pioneering a unique path as the founder of Yogi Banker. Scott shares his journey from studying commerce and law in Sydney, to building a high-powered career in London and New York, and how a series of pivotal moments led him to yoga, mindfulness, and energy practices like Reiki.   He reflects on how an openness to new experiences helped him balance the intensity of banking with practices that reconnected him to his breath, presence, and inner stillness. What began as personal exploration became teaching and creating well-being programs for colleagues, eventually leading to DB Yoga at Deutsche Bank, where his classes and mindfulness sessions supported people through stress, grief, and everyday challenges.   Scott and Artemis discuss the importance of “unlearning” rigid roles and allowing space for new aspects of ourselves to emerge. Scott highlights that well-being is not one-size-fits-all: what matters is finding practices that resonate—whether yoga, meditation, Qigong, or something else—and committing to them with curiosity and consistency. This conversation explores how professional success and inner wellbeing can not only coexist but enrich each other, offering a holistic perspective on living and working with balance.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott Robinson is a Director at Deutsche Bank (UK) in the Transaction Policy & Advisory Group, a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher, and the founder of Yogibanker — a platform supporting health, wellbeing, and conscious leadership in the financial sector.   Combining decades of experience in finance with a deep commitment to inner development, Scott helps professionals manage stress, enhance resilience, and build sustainable wellbeing in high-pressure environments. His journey began in response to the demands of the industry and led to transformative practices that brought greater clarity, balance, and strength — both personally and professionally.   Through yoga, mindfulness, and a relational approach to leadership, Scott now supports others in reconnecting with their values and cultivating a healthier, more compassionate culture in finance — one where performance and wellbeing go hand in hand.   Scott is currently in London UK - you can connect with him via LinkedIn or visit his website at www.yogibanker.com    To connect with our host, visit www.aipeia.com

Raised by a single mother who encouraged her to pursue law to secure a stable future, Whitney was inspired to enter the legal field after a formative experience visiting a traffic court judge — the father of a childhood friend — which shaped her vision of a successful and influential life. Over time, Whitney recognized her innate ability and passion for advocacy, not just in the courtroom but in broader contexts. Her path evolved as she navigated career challenges largely on her own, which highlighted the importance of self-coaching and informed decision-making.

This experience, combined with her own professional struggles and growth, laid the foundation for her future work in supporting attorneys through coaching and consulting.

By reframing their work — for example, seeing themselves as healers supporting clients through difficult situations — attorneys can regain motivation, resilience, and fulfillment in their careers. Both Whitney and Artemis stress the need for cultural shifts in legal education and practice to better support lawyer well-being, emotional intelligence, and empowerment, paving the way for a healthier and more sustainable legal profession. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whitney M.

This moment sparked her exploration into mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and subconscious reprogramming. Steph describes her coaching approach as intuitive and evidence-based, supporting highly sensitive, high-achieving individuals to lead with resilience and authenticity.
