    Episode 2

    The Power of Embodied Leadership with Anna Sumara

    I sat down with Anna Sumara to explore embodied leadership and what it truly means to lead not just from intellect, but from presence. In this conversation, we examine the difference between leading from a centered state and simply reacting, and why many high-performing leaders lose their effectiveness under pressure when they disconnect from their embodied intelligence. Anna shares how cultivating body awareness allows leaders to access clarity, grounded authority, and choice in the moments that matter most. This conversation is especially relevant for leaders, founders, and coaches navigating complexity and pressure. We also touch on practical entry points into embodied leadership, offering simple ways to begin integrating this work into everyday leadership and decision-making. Anna is a leadership and embodied presence coach, facilitator, and coach educator. She has trained around 1,000 coaches globally and works with leaders in transformation to develop an embodied leadership presence, so they can lead with clarity, creativity, and power. Her approach integrates leadership, coaching, mindfulness, neuroscience, and embodiment—or, in short, the intelligence of the mind with the wisdom of the heart. This unique blend doesn’t just build skills; it shapes whole human beings, cultivating a leadership presence that creates lasting change.

    Episode 4

    From Thinking to Sensing Leadership with Pia Eggimann: Nature as a Guide

    I met with Pia Eggimann to explore how nature can positively influence leadership and what it can teach us about how we lead, decide, and develop. Together, we reflect on how simple shifts can help us reconnect to what truly matters, moving from a purely thinking-based leadership to one that is sensed, embodied, and lived. This conversation invites you to step outside, slow down, and rediscover a deeper source of clarity and direction. If you can, take this episode with you on a walk in nature. And if not, let it meet you wherever you are. Pia Eggimann is a leadership coach and the founder of Positive Coaching. She supports women in moments of transition to reconnect with their inner authority, so they can lead and make decisions from a place that feels deeply aligned and true to who they are.
