What is Embodied Leadership?
Embodied leadership is the practice of stepping into and embracing the inner leader that we all have the energetic capacity to be. Every human is individually unique and has their own gifts to share with the world, and by relating authentically, courageously, and openly, we can empower ourselves and others to share and embody those gifts together.

Why should I attend?
These monthly “Embodied Relational Leadership Training” sessions will be the gateway to building your own practice of embodied leadership within your own life. Eventually, as you discover the hidden power of your heart-mind-spirit coherence, you may find joy in the idea of creating or facilitating your own groups/communities, or to begin facilitating within already existing communities (like Authentic Relating Denver).

Within our new Connected Community organization, we have a mission to build a network of relational communities focused on health, creativity and community. These leadership training sessions are the pathway to joining the organization on the leadership team, or becoming a leader or facilitator of your own connected community group.

There is no prerequisite to joining a leadership training session. Each session is unique and you can start at any point. We welcome everyone, regardless of your prior leadership experience or desired mission.

WHAT TO EXPECT?
6:30pm - Monthly Hybrid Connected Communities Business Meeting
7:00pm - Embodied Relational Leadership Training - Monthly Theme and Activity Practice (led by David)
7:45pm - Emergent Leadership Activity (led by a predetermined emerging leader)
8:15pm - Plus / Delta Feedback for Emerging Leader
8:25pm - Closing
8:30pm - Meet a New Friend

As you can see, we will be accomplishing multiple things in a single night:

1. First, we will hold a business meeting for connected communities. This is your opportunity to see what it is like to run a community, and even participate in the “behind the scenes” work. We have multiple available leadership positions available for us to come together and take this community to the next level.
2. Second, we will provide educational Embodied Relational Leadership Training. These topics will teach us how to think about leadership, including how to lead ourselves, and how to show up as a balanced leader in humility and dignity. We will also discuss practical measures of leadership, like risk management, conflict resolution and embodied presence.
3. Lastly, we will leave room for practice. Each month, a new emerging leader will have the opportunity to run a short activity of their choosing, and then receive feedback from the group on what they did well, and areas to improve.

ABOUT THE HOST
With over a decade worth of leadership experience, David Schreiber is a community builder and heart-centered leadership enthusiast. He has led and taught in many ways over the years, including head instructing junior sailing programs, building and directing haunted houses, leading a college music production union, substitute teaching in middle and high-schools, managing cross-functional engineering projects, leading the Colorado District MA group, Authentic Relating Denver and Becoming Men groups, and co-founding Connected Communities. But more important than his experience is David's unique way of leading from his heart. As a student of life, he is excited to share his learnings on being an embodied leader- the hidden power of what the heart space, mental, and energetic fields can do to create ripples in the world and to inspire others.

WHAT'S NEXT?
Our goal is that through these leadership trainings and sessions, you will eventually develop the skills and practice to be able to lead your own groups or facilitate within Connected Communities or AR Denver. This is not a requirement for attending, but for those who are interested, this is the pathway to greater leadership within our organizations.
There are two forms of leadership within Connected Communities and AR Denver:

• Organizational Leadership - refers to business level leadership to keep the organization up and running. Positions like president, vice-president, treasurer, social media, networking, marketing, event organizers, newsletter creators, trustees, fundraising and more.
• Group Facilitator - refers to the facilitator or leader of a specific group or event. Facilitation is inherently a different skill set from organizational leadership, and requires additional emphasis on the “relational” part of relational leadership.
• Co-Facilitator - the co-facilitator(s) refers to the individual or individuals supporting the lead facilitator during a group or event. Co-facilitators help track time, participants, and group harmony, and provide their own flavor of facilitation to create a balance in the event.
• Lead-Facilitator - the lead-facilitator refers to the individual who’s ultimately leading the event. They create the plan for the event, provide the co-facilitators with instructions, and keep the group engaged throughout the event. They also plan logistics of the event, including writing the Meetup description, finding a suitable location, and other advertising.

If you are interested in becoming an organizational leader or facilitator of Connected Communities or AR Denver, please express your interest at the leadership training, and we will be happy to review the next steps with you!
