Building Leadership Presence
Through Embodied Intelligence
Gain the ability to connect with and lead others.
Fall 2023 Cohort Closed
Group Coaching Program
About The Program
The ability to connect with and lead others grows from your ability to connect with yourself in the present moment.
You can do this most powerfully through accessing your embodied intelligence. What is embodied intelligence? Alongside the cognitive power of your brain, we have a biological intelligence that is often ignored. This intelligence system communicates through the neuromotor and neurohormonal pathways between brain and body, and yet, we aren't taught to access or trust these forms of intelligence. However, our ability to clearly and powerfully lead with presence depends on our ability to sense and manage what we feel in these critical leadership moments.

What I learned in this program helped me see that my body and its signals are a tool I can use to navigate myself out of difficult, complex, high-stress decisions or situations. Miranda's tools consistently help me get grounded in my body and enable me to discern what is the next right thing for me in any given moment. This group provided a network of support and the community aspect helped deepen my own learning. I would highly recommend this!

Miranda's Embodied Intelligence program was transformational for me personally and as a professional coach.
Miranda is an incredibly skilled teacher and coach practitioner. Her course and learnings vastly improved my knowledge and awareness; and, her multiple somatic exercises moved me from improved awareness to deep comprehension of the obstacles getting in my way of improving. Her guided inward focus into our body was a journey into myself. Through it, I gained tremendous insights insight into my whole self and more importantly, what I needed to do to move forward - as a person and coach."

I’m a former endurance athlete whose identity used to be entirely that: I was an athlete. The diagnosis of a congenital heart condition at age 25, while balancing a career and training in an attempt to make the U.S. National Rowing Team, ended my sense of self as an elite athlete. I pivoted from my advertising job to collegiate coaching to stave off the pain of losing my ability to train and compete....

The value that Miranda brought to me as a coach was confidence in my abilities and the power to advocate for myself.
Many coaches can say that they empower their clients with these skills, but Miranda undeniably believes in each person’s strengths, empowering her clients to push the boundaries of their comfort zone.

A coach in the truest sense of the word, Miranda guided me through my unique forest. She helped me sort my ambition, anxieties, and personal priorities during a very complex time in my career.
I still look back on that moment and think of Miranda’s encouragement to slow down and let the answers reveal themselves.
