Hi, I’m Chris Wilson. I guide leaders in confronting their deepest challenges by reconnecting with their true essence and building authentic relationships that fuel success in all areas of life and work.
Welcome to Leadership Embodied and The Leadership Embodied Handbook + Audio Course
52 Weeks of Somatic Practices to Access Your Body's Intelligence and Lead with Purpose, Power, and Presence.Â
At a deeper level, this handbook and audio course are a singular expression of my heart’s creative gift for you as a human. I hope you realize and discover something beautiful each week when you listen and practice with me.
Feel more fulfilled, joyful, powerful, and present
Be less anxious and more skillful.
Grow into your best self while doing your best work.
What if I told you that you could access all of these things by learning to let go of what’s happening in your head and get into your body?
Most people think this happens intellectually or by trying hard to overcome life-work challenges. The truth forcing things gets in the way and causes repetitive problems.
In my experience, as I will show you if you allow me, these results are accessed by learning tools and skills to get out of our heads and into our bodies. This is a befriending and attending process, not a trying and forcing process.
My promise to you is that you can begin to achieve all of these by appreciating and enjoying tiny practices one week at a time over a year of your life.
When we learn to do this, these qualities innately emerge as a result of our practice.
As we discover this reality, we discover skills that allow us to gain trust in a deeper, less protective part of ourselves and learn how to truly grow and transform.
I want to invite you to do this with me in this audio course over the next year.
This course includes:
52 weekly practices that you can enjoy & explore to become your best self.
1 new practice is added each week
Special workshops & community practice sessions

About the Course, Chris Wilson, & My Teaching Philosophy
As of January 2024, I am currently pursuing a master's degree in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and my PCC in Integral Coaching from New Ventures West.
I also work full-time as a professional embodied leadership coach for individuals and teams, and I have over 5,000 hours of intentional transformational coaching experience.
I have worked with all types of people, from young adults and trauma survivors to CEOs and professional athletes. This experience is part of the reason I am completing my master's degree in Somatic Psychology at CIIS.
I live in San Francisco, CA, with my fiance, Anna, and our two cats, Winston and Benson. I am creating this course as a creative pillar of my practice and to share and appreciate teachings that allow people to transform and grow.
I want to teach you a series of mindfulness and somatic psychology practices. These practices will help you become your best self by helping you connect with your body.
I intend to creatively and joyfully share tiny, beautiful lessons from my practice. I hope to inspire you to deeply appreciate your raw, real life, which can only be felt and experienced through your body. Over the course of one year, I will share these lessons each week to create this embodied leadership course.
My teaching philosophy is that life can only truly be experienced by feeling, not thinking and that the only way to feel is to learn to get out of our heads and into our bodies. This paradoxical truth deeply informs my teaching philosophy. I am less interested in intellectual understanding and theories and more interested in seeing the connection in all things through practice.
My direct experience has shaped my belief that the only way to truly transform and grow is to learn tools and skills to get out of our heads and into our bodies. This is how we can learn to respond to challenges from having more access to Ourselves and become more whole humans whose lives are less managed by our protective parts. We become embodied leaders when we learn to do this physically, not just intellectually.
Then, living our life becomes our practice, and everyone we come into contact with is our teacher and companion in growth. This is not a fantasy or a dream but a direct physical reality for me. This has happened for me over the past 15 years, and I want to share it with you.
Thank you for subscribing. It’s a joy to share my practice with you, and I hope that this course will help you experience the same or a similar reality.
