708. How Embodiment Unlocks Business Coaching - With Anke Egger

Author: Mark Walsh June 10, 2025 Duration: 46:15

I sat down with Anke Egger, someone with deep roots in embodied work, to talk about how the body offers more than just physical support - it's a source of real insight for leadership, teams, and personal development. We explored how practices like aikido, yoga, and conscious dance can help people cut through the noise and actually get it, beyond the flipcharts and books. Anke shared her journey from academia to embodiment, how she brings that into corporate spaces, and why movement might just be the fastest route to change. If you're curious about what it really means to lead from the body, you'll enjoy this one.
