Embodied presence sits at the center of this new episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, where coach and Coactive Training Institute faculty member Anna Sumara joins hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave.
Anna Sumara built her coaching practice around the body, training in yoga, meditation, and embodied leadership after her own coaching certification. She explains why tension in the body weakens a leader’s presence, walks through a simple practice for mapping physical sensation during moments of stress, and describes why boundaries start as a physical sense before they become words.
The conversation also covers the difference between a regulated and a reactive nervous system, and why this difference shapes a leader’s ability to build trust and include others in a decision. Anna closes with her view on why coaching for real transformation still requires a human being in the room, even as AI tools enter the coaching field.
