“As Manager of Innovation, HRD, Quality, and Marketing Communication at a large healthcare organization, I found myself, after a merger (2016), in a management team of 12 colleagues with two cultures. How do I stay authentic as a leader in this challenging dynamic—in the ‘office jungle’? That’s how I discovered Leadership Embodiment. It sharpened my leadership and vision and helped my teams excel, because real leadership is about embodiment. As Mary Parker Follett already said: ‘Leadership is not defined by the exercise of power but by the capacity to increase the sense of power among those led.’ I learned to stand strong—congruent in head, heart, and gut—so you remain authentic, clear, and connected, even under pressure. Especially in our demanding society, embodied leadership is essential.”
