Some years ago, I spent time with aikido master Richard Strozzi-Heckler at his dojo in the magnificent hills between Petaluma and Bodega Bay. He gave me masterful instruction– not so much in aikido as in the art of cultivating self-awareness by using the body. I’ve since come to believe that this is the most effective method for developing a persuasive and grounded leadership presence.
Sally, thanks so much for your thoughts. I think the body-mind connection is “where it’s at.” What comes to mind is authenticity, mindfulness, approachability, inclusiveness and, as you point out, self awareness. Your words here emphasized all of this for me.
