This is a free 90 minute intro course with Mark Walsh.
Our relationship with our bodies determines how we think, how we feel, how we are perceived by others, and what we achieve. That’s why embodiment is such a helpful area for facilitators to address.
Most coaches know that the body matters. This is an introductory session on how posture, breathing and movement can support your clients in going deeper faster, and create lasting results in the process.
Who this training is for
This online workshop is for business facilitators, who want pragmatic down-to-earth techniques, and for those already skilled in working with the body, but who want to transfer their skills to organisational work. These people include:
● Business and life coaches, trainers, facilitators and consultants
● Yogis, dancers, bodyworkers and martial artists looking to apply their skills in mainstream environments like business
● Teachers, therapists, and those in other helping or educating professions
● Anyone looking to develop their personal leadership and presence
Benefits
● Gain insight into the relevance of body awareness, posture and movement to your work
● Get tips on how to make this work accessible within a business environment
● Improve self-awareness – what is hidden that is limiting your work?
● Understand how to better “read” others, including cross-culturally – and to access your intuition
● Look at a “second generation” approach to embodiment that is clearer, more rational and culturally appropriate than older West-coast US styles
● Get a taste of embodied work if you are considering The Embodied Facilitator Course or Foundations of Embodiment Certification.
Some BS from Mark
“Embodiment” as a word is definitely catching on but, let’s face it, few know what the f**k it means, and even fewer are experiencing it in a pragmatic way. I’ve done this training in over 30 counties with 800+ people. Most of them loved it, and the few that didn’t were just uptight. It’s a lot of fun. I basically puke out my best stuff and bleed value all over you. Who wouldn’t want that? Sign up or I’ll kill a kitten!

“It is nothing else but amazing how much I learned about embodiment in only a day and a half with Mark and Carol in Berlin. Our bodies talk to us. All of the time. They hold the treasures of untold stories for our success and fulfilment. They demonstrate where our minds make up stories of failure and limitations. They, as an integral part of us, are the foundation for connection. Our bodies talk to us. We’d better start and listen to them.” – Geert Hofman, coach, musician and author, Germany

“If you’re looking for training that will challenge and provoke you to learn about yourself in profound and surprising ways, then I highly recommend Mark as a trainer. He is funny, provocative, committed and cheeky. Above all, though, he really knows his stuff, and he lives and walks his talk.” – Aboodi Shabi, Executive Coach and Facilitator, Newfield coach trainer, London UK“
