Embodied Wisdom, Impactful Leadership

Leadership development done differently…

Embodied Leadership is a model of training and development that understands the value and importance of tuning into the body’s wisdom and leading from a regulated nervous system.

Founded by Psychotherapist Michelle Leeder and Coach Mel Wiggins, Embodied Leadership is a brand new and necessary approach to the leadership development space in the UK.

When we lead from a place of regulation and self-awareness, we have a greater capacity to remain grounded, aligned and steady even when complexity and chaos surrounds.

We’re here to help leaders and organisations understand how and when to tap into the wisdom of their bodies to lead well, have an impact and work sustainably.

Upcoming Events.

We have plenty of exciting workshops, events and training coming up this year that we’d love for you to join us in. Have a look ahead through the calendar to find the next event or workshop for you!

Holistic Development

Our training & consultancy focuses on all aspects of personal development, not just the professional. From refining your leadership skills and communication to boosting your emotional intelligence and resilience, our work aims to ensure you feel equipped to be a well-rounded and effective leader from the inside out - more connected with yourself and the bigger picture of your work than ever before.

An Embodied Approach

Unlike traditional training programs, EL emphasises the power of embodiment - integrating mind and body in all aspects of approaching leadership. By understanding this model, you'll not only lead with your head knowledge but also with a stronger connection to your intuition, creating a profound impact on your team and organisation.

What our clients are saying…

  • Mel and Michelle designed and delivered a series of incredible workshops during a two day retreat for our staff and lawyers working in our partner NGOs. We work on complex and often-heartbreaking cases with vulnerable clients, so wellbeing is typically last on our priority lists. But through their evidenced-based, pragmatic and uplifting sessions on building resilience, preventing burnout, sustainable self-care and building communities of care, Mel and Michelle’s program had a transformative and lasting effect on all of us. They’re also just beautiful human beings to work with and be around. I couldn’t recommend working with them highly enough”

    Marieanne McKeown - Director, Partnerships & Pro Bono Programmes, Europe - Kids in Need of Defense (KIND)

  • From the very first day, I felt truly seen and heard in a way I had never experienced before. Mel and Michelle’s approach is characterised by their warmth, authenticity, nourishment, and their innate capacity for connection which combines to create a really safe and supportive space.

    Programme Participant - Project Manager

  • Participating in the Embodied Leadership Programme was unlike any previous training I had encountered. The emphasis on mind-body connection transformed my perspective. I emerge from this programme with new knowledge and respect for the interplay between mind and body. Armed with this newfound understanding, I am confident that my approach to leadership has been transformed.

    Denise - Project Manager, Charity Sector

  • The legacy of this programme will remain with me for the rest of my professional life and its impact extends far the boundaries of my work life.  It has been an absolute privilege to be part of the programme and to share the space with the other participants too. 

    Programme Participant - Programme Manager

  • I stumbled upon the embodied leadership course on instagram and was instantly drawn to how it felt. Having pushed myself so hard over a very long time, I was ready for a new approach but wasn't quite sure what I was looking for. Luckily, it found me!My experience with Mel and Michelle has been refreshing, exciting and felt a bit like coming home. This space was held in such humility and integrity and allowed me to really return to the foundations of who I am and what I am here to do. I have been able to approach my work now in a different way - with more authenticity, aliveness and trust.
