An embodied approach to developing women leaders which invites us to re-write our interpretation of power, from the prevailing ‘power over’ to ‘power with’ developing a felt sense that the whole is greater than any one individual. This is the pathway to creating organisations that work for everyone. The book integrates different perspectives and theoretical frames with the author’s own experience of working with women leaders in organisations combined with action research. It sets out how women are able to dismantle the internal barriers that maintain the status quo and become a powerful force for change. The book gives voice to some incredible women who bravely step out of the shadows to let themselves be seen. They each share honest and often moving accounts of how they have reclaimed themselves as women and now embody a strong leadership presence. These stories weave together to inspire, provoke and empower. Individual and collective transformation are interdependent and inseparable. When women come together and support one another it is possible to transcend the norms and social forces and shift the prevailing culture. We can create more inclusive cultures where everyone, women and men, can participate and contribute to the benefit of all. It’s time to rewrite our interpretation of power, it's time to make a difference.

Transformative change begins with those who seek to lead it and who are awake to who they are, their relationships and the wider organisation. As we lead and partner organisations, the powerful instrument we have is the person we are. Simply put who we are is how we lead.
The business world is increasingly complex, with the pace of disruptive change creating an uncertain future. To respond effectively to this shifting context, transformational change is required: this can only happen when those who seek to lead this change are leaders who are awake to self, relationships and the wider systemic organization. Embodying Authenticity explores the theory and practice of an integrated somatic methodology and demonstrates how this approach supports collective and individual transformation, which are interdependent, inseparable and indispensable for creating meaningful organizational change. The focus is on starting small, creating a shift in one part of the organization and enabling this change to self-generate and be amplified more widely throughout the whole system. This approach embodies a move from transactional to transformational leadership. The book includes the voices and experience of leaders and practitioners, adding color and richness through real practical examples and case studies.
Transformative change begins with those who seek to lead it and who are awake to who they are, their relationships and the wider organisation. As we lead and partner organisations, the powerful instrument we have is the person we are. Simply put who we are is how we lead. Connecting the individual journey with the collective journey is what allows organisations transformation to unfold and sustainable to change to become possible. Embodying Authenticity explores the theory and practice of an integrated somatic methodology and how this unique approach supports individual and collective transformation which are interdependent and inseparable. In somatics the person we are and the body we have are inextricably linked, when we connect with the vast intelligence of the body powerful change is available. This book is for people who are leading and participating in transformative change in their work and in their lives; be that in the capacity of a leader, executive, business partner, consultant of coach. It is an enquiry into human leadership, into who we are being, rather than what we are doing. It explores how through the cultivation of the self, we continually move towards our authentic way of being, creating meaning and purpose in our lives and the lives of those we work with.
