If you’re looking for an excellent exploration of leadership from a somatic perspective, here’s the book you’ve been waiting for: “Embodied Leadership – the somatic approach to developing your leadership” by friend and colleague Pete Hamill. Published on 3rd June by Kogan Page, it’s received rave reviews from those in the know, such as John Leary-Joyce, CEO of the Academy of Executive Coaching who says “A thought provoking, practical, accessible guide on how to use your body to develop authority, presence and impact as a leader.”
Capturing the focus of the book, Pete comments “We don’t need leaders who know about leadership – we need leaders who embody the capacity to lead in the midst of ambiguity and complexity.” I couldn’t agree more. Pete and I both trained at Strozzi Institute in California for our certification as Master Somatic Coaches (in fact, we’re two of only a handful so qualified in Europe!) so both work with our clients from this somatic perspective. I’m enormously happy to promote this book – well done Pete.
