Sensing: How to Access Deeper Wisdom through Know-Feel-Do

Working and leading in these times, we can often experience a relentless focus on the intellectual aspects of knowing. Experience tells us, however, that knowing is important but not sufficient and that we need to include and value feeling just as much. This session offers an opportunity to work with Martin Kalungu-Banda, from University of Oxford Business School and the Presencing Institute, on the Know-Feel-Do of Leadership, exploring how we can bring our collective intelligence and the wisdom of our bodies into our leadership practice.

You might also be interested in joining this evening's Bell Rock Café session, which is hosted by Martin. In the evening Café, Martin will be sharing practical stories and examples of Know-Feel-Do and engage with participants during this session. This will be an opportunity to connect and reflect with others around this topic.
