BQ Summit Interview: Eileen Fisher
Stepping Inside Myself
Hosted by Kathlyn Hendricks with Eileen Fisher
Broadcast on February 19, 2016
Embodiment feels like a connected and transformational place for me, and it is becoming a foundational piece within the company as well as our new Learning Lab. The important role that embodiment is playing has emerged through my own personal experience and transformational work.
During this session you will find out how:
• Embodiment is a pathway to presence in all our experiences and relationships.
• Learning to be more present – even during moments of conflict, fear and anxiety – can open us up to greater joy and creativity.
• We can learn to notice, feel and be with whatever is happening in our bodies. Once we become more aware, we’re able to make shifts and bring about change.
