From Presentation Mode to True Presence with Philip Shepherd - Episode 168 The Irreplaceable Man Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
Are you truly present? Or are you in presentation mode? The fact is, most of us have been conditioned to present ourselves in a way that earns approval. And our exchanges with others become attempts to manipulate that prevent genuine connection. So, what can we do to shift out of presentation mode and achieve true presence?
Philip Shepherd is the creator of The Embodied Present Process (TEPP), a set of practices that reunite the intelligence of the head with that of the body. He is also the author of two seminal books, New Self, New World and Radical Wholeness. Philip’s work draws on experiential research, including a cycling trip he took alone as a teenager through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, India and Japan, as well as a lifetime of acting, directing and writing for the theatre. An internationally recognized embodiment expert, Philip travels the globe presenting workshops and facilitator trainings, bringing clarity to a chaotic world.
On this episode of Men on Purpose, Philip joins Ian to discuss how exploring other cultures introduced him to the power of choice and helped him realize what choices our culture has systematically deprived us of. He explains how we can leverage the breath to tap into the intelligence of the body and reclaim our wholeness. Listen in for Philip’s insight on how our culture is stuck in presentation mode and learn how YOU can become fully present—and fully receptive to others.
