The Art and Neuroscience of BEing an Authentic Leader

Keynote and Training Series

In a world defined by disconnection, remote work, constant multitasking, and rising stress levels, the demand for authentic leadership has never been more urgent. Authentic leadership isn’t just a buzzword—it’s about leading with deep self-awareness, integrity, and vulnerability to create a foundation of trust, connection, and collaboration. In today’s chaotic environment, people are craving clarity and meaningful relationships, and authentic leadership is the path to meeting those needs.

At the core of the Bodywise approach is the belief that we are human BEings, not human doers. BEing is the natural state of your nervous system, where you feel grounded, safe, and able to connect authentically with others. Neuroscience shows us that the body is not merely a vessel for the mind, but the home of the nervous system. To become a truly authentic leader, you need more than just talk—you need to embody your leadership by stepping out of your head and into your body, where true "BEingness" lives.

The Art and Neuroscience of BEing an Authentic Leader keynote and training series teaches leaders how to access the wisdom of their bodies to rewire their nervous systems and rewrite their leadership stories. Shifting from a state of stress and overwhelm to calm, relational leadership transforms your ability to create environments of psychological safety, emotional availability, and open communication. This is the foundation for building trust, fostering compassion, and driving innovation within thriving teams.

I offer keynote presentations, tailored leadership training programs, and immersive retreats designed to help leaders tap into their authentic power and inspire meaningful change.
Reach out today to learn how the Art and Neuroscience of BEing an Authentic Leader can be customized for your organization or event. It’s time to lead from a place of connection and authenticity!

You Deserve a BE ME Break:

Cultivating Well-BEing for Authentic Leadership

In the fast-paced world of leadership, it’s easy to fall into the trap of constant "doing"—pursuing goals, managing teams, and multitasking. While these traits are often celebrated, they leave leaders feeling anxious, disconnected, and overwhelmed. True leadership thrives not in constant action, but in balance—in the art of BEing.

This session introduces BE ME Breaks as a leadership tool for cultivating resilience and well-being. BE ME stands for Body, Emotional, Mental, and Essence realms of our BEing. These micro-practices are rooted in neuroscience, demonstrating that we can’t shift our minds with our minds alone; the body is integral to how we experience the world. By regularly engaging the body in somatic practices, leaders can enhance self-regulation, make clearer decisions, and lead with greater authenticity.

Learn how the BE ME framework rewires the nervous system, promoting a calm, grounded presence that fosters high performance without sacrificing well-being. Leaders who take BE ME Breaks unlock their potential to thrive—leading themselves and their teams from a state of balanced BEingness.

Thrive vs. Survive: Somatic Practices for Resilience and Success

Leadership today requires more than just problem-solving—it requires presence, connection, and resilience. Many leaders operate in survival mode, but to truly thrive, they need to cultivate states of calm, clarity, and connectedness.

In this session, leaders will tap into the power of their body’s wisdom to shift from a state of stress and overwhelm to one of safety, groundedness, and vitality. The Thrive vs. Survive practices integrate simple, science-backed somatic techniques to downshift the nervous system, fostering more presence, energy, and creativity. Leaders who embrace these practices discover a new way of BEing that enhances their capacity to lead from a place of strength, connection, and authentic expression.

Shake Off Embodied Stress and Trauma with TRE®

Leaders often carry immense stress and trauma from the demands of their roles. This stress can manifest as chronic tension, anxiety, and burnout, ultimately limiting their effectiveness and wellbeing. In this optional session, participants will experience the transformative effects of Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®), a scientifically-backed practice designed to release deep-seated stress and restore balance.

TRE® activates the body's natural tremor mechanism to release tension stored in the nervous system, promoting relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. For leaders, this process helps to unwind the accumulated stress and pressure, making room for more authentic, impactful leadership and renewed energy.

Why TRE® for Leaders?
Integrating TRE® into a regular routine allows leaders to access enhanced focus, emotional regulation, and a deeper connection to their purpose and team. Research has shown that TRE's neurogenic tremors activate similar pathways as psychedelics like ayahuasca, psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine, particularly in fostering neuroplasticity and emotional regulation. By releasing stored trauma, TRE® helps to regulate the nervous system and reorganize neural pathways, supporting long-term resilience and wellbeing.

Safety and Preparation
Participation in the full Art and Science of BEing ME series is essential before engaging in TRE® to ensure that safety and self-resourcing skills are fully established. This foundation is key to unlocking the full potential of TRE® and experiencing its powerful benefits without overwhelm.

If you're ready to release embodied stress and trauma, TRE® offers a proven path toward nervous system regulation and thriving leadership.

 As a client who came to Megan struggling with both chronic pain and PTSD, I can attest that she has every capacity to support and promote healing for her clients. Megan skillfully weaves listening, teaching, hands-on work, guidance and feedback to empower clients to integrate new techniques to achieve their best health, from physical to psychological to spiritual. She is both a kind and a fierce advocate for her clients' wellbeing, and I cannot recommend working with her strongly enough. You will be glad you did.

I recommend working with Megan because personally, my life has gotten a whole lot easier now that I've given myself the attention and tools to work with it. The things I thought were problems have since resolved themselves or fallen into place and the feelings of stress and anxiety I've felt in recent years feels like it has been replaced with trust and gratitude in a way that no other work I've done on myself has helped me achieve. There's no greater gift than remembering who we truly are, honoring the bodies that got us here, reclaiming our stories and our power, and learning the tools to support us to live fulfilling lives. Thank you for being my guide Megan!
