In today’s episode, we will explore the intricacies of introversion and extroversion, the power of silence, and how Annalisa mastered the art of creating space for all voices in a conversation.

We'll discover:

• The profound impact of our physical responses to stress and emotions, and learn practical ways to navigate these challenges through mindfulness
• How our current high-pressure work environments demand resilience and adaptability from employees
• How to slow down, become intentional in our communication, and why leaders should cultivate a deeper connection to their bodies to improve decision-making and foster more empathetic workplaces
• How somatic coaching not only enhances personal growth but also informs Annalisa’s approach to designing diverse and inclusive spaces for learning and development
