717. How Embodiment Transforms Mindfulness & Creates Better Leaders – With Mark Walsh

In this solo episode, I dive deep into two key topics: why leaders need embodiment and how embodiment differs from mindfulness. Drawing on 20+ years of experience in the field, I break down why embodied presence—not just information or emotional intelligence—is the make-or-break factor in modern leadership.

We explore how embodiment shapes trust, impact, and co-regulation in teams, and why practices like mindfulness, while foundational, aren’t the full picture. I also look at the historical and cultural roots of both embodiment and mindfulness, how they overlap, where they diverge, and how to use them skillfully as a coach or leader.
