It\nalso means literally staying fully connected to your body and centered on your\ncore values and truest self even during times of pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According\nto Pete Hamill, author of Embodied Leadership (2013), \u201cThe concept of embodied leadership, derived from somatic coaching,\nbrings the body forward as an advocate in creating a place for change and\ntransformation.\u201d And, \u201cEmbodied learning is a level of learning where you can\nlearn to do something differently, consistently and when under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embodied\nleadership is the optimal leadership presence. It combines power and strength\nwith flexibility and ambition with humility. It increases your ability to be\ninfluential, flexible (adaptable) and resilient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Connection Between Emotional\nIntelligence, Brain &amp; Body<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emotional\nIntelligence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple and familiar framework from which we can understand the importance of being an embodied leader is the concept of emotional intelligence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to understand one\u2019s own state of mind and one\u2019s capabilities, to manage oneself to respond constructively to situations and to engage successfully with other people.&nbsp; Emotional Intelligence is not necessarily about what to do, but <strong>HOW<\/strong> to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CLICK TO DOWNLOAD <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Presentation-Embodied-Leadership-6.12.19.pdf\">FULL PRESENTATION<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Leaders-Quote-copy-1024x792.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3586\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Leaders-Quote-copy-1024x792.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Leaders-Quote-copy-300x232.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Leaders-Quote-copy-768x594.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Leaders-Quote-copy.jpg 1396w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact <a href=\"http:\/\/visionquestretreats.com\/contact\/\">Nicole Cutts<\/a> for speaking and coaching inquiries.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Nicole-lotus-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3588\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Nicole-lotus-1024x711.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Nicole-lotus-300x208.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Nicole-lotus-768x533.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.nicolecutts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Nicole-lotus.jpg 1406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First presented by: Nicole Cutts, Ph.D. June 12, 2019 at the American University Key Leadership Conference in Washington, DC.
