Show Notes:
Wendy Palmer holds a seventh degree black belt in the non-violent Japanese martial art of Aikido, and has practiced mindfulness for over 45 years. She is the author of 4 books, including her latest: Dragons and Power, which explores the elements of Leadership Embodiment, a practice she founded and has been teaching to high level leaders for over 30 years.
 
Her process draws on principles from Aikido and Mindfulness to offer simple tools and practices to increase the leadership skills of responding to stress and pressure with confidence and integrity.
 
Wendy shares simple, fast and incredibly effective practices to recover to center when triggered, and what it means to embody the Aikido practice of “letting the attack land in the space”.

 She offers her personal wisdom around what it means to be resilient, why
 boundaries don’t work and what actually does.

  1. Warmth and inclusiveness
  2. Receiving feedback as creative fuel
  3. Acting with clarity, integrity and confidence
