Curious about leadership in today’s world? Then attend this book launch.

Our world moves at warp speed, driven by amazing technological discoveries and incredible innovation. It's a world of new, ever changing possibilities where we face both daily opportunity and challenge of increasing pace and complexity. Wendy Palmer's book shares wisdom and powerful techniques, enabling us to access the immense resources of the body’s natural intelligence, enhancing our leadership presence and impact. It gives us tools for our own positive evolution, even under pressure, encouraging us to rise above our default behaviours and live more completely our full potential.

'Leadership Embodiment' is a book for those seeking a refreshing, innovative approach to leadership challenges in the Boardroom and in life. It covers three core leadership competencies:

• inclusiveness – increasing our leadership presence and collaboration
• centered listening – listening to all aspects of dialogue, including feedback
• speaking up/influencing – aligning ourselves to what matters to us so we can respond more skillfully

It's a practical, inspiring book where Wendy generously offers many of her latest insights. The book is co-written with Janet Crawford, a scientist working with organizations to apply neuroscience and behavioural disciplines to leadership development. Janet satisfies our inquiring minds, rigorously clarifying the scientific underpinning of Wendy’s work, and adding careful explanations of the role of biology, evolution, neuroscience and change in leadership. Between them they have created a triumph of collaboration.

‘The practice of Leadership Embodiment gives us the gift of having a choice to be centred and mindful. When we are centred and mindful, we automatically act with wisdom, compassion and power.’

During this evening Wendy will talk about her work with us, and of course, sign your books!

Enjoy a glass or two to toast the success of this book.
