Real-world project

start small but do it

Step-by-step embodied process

with practical tools

Are you happy with the world's leaders?

No, me neither. 

I see many hypocrites who lack integrity, who prioritise profits over people and the planet, and who rule through arrogance and fear.  

Okay… so let’s do it differently. Let’s not hand the world over to the psychopathic and privileged. 

The tricky thing is that many of us have been conditioned into not seeing ourselves as the leaders we are. BUT, you don’t have to be a CEO, president or superstar to be a leader. Leaders are normal people who take responsibility for themselves and impact their world. We are all leaders. We lead from where we are. 

Authority pose

Do you want to unlock your leadership?

Leadership can also be scary. The fear of failure. The fear of being seen. Even the fear of success. “Who am I to lead?” is a question anyone with humility asks. Many of us hold ourselves back, even though we know we already influence people and want to make a difference. 

Most of us do not yet truly embody who we can be as leaders, but WE CAN. 

Our limiting patterns can be overcome, we can step up, we can unlock our true leadership potential.

Be a beacon in a mad world

Would you like to find your own authentic leadership style and have a greater impact on your world?

By focusing on your unique strengths and working with your embodiment, you can. You have something to give the world. In these crazy times you can be a source of inspiration, hope and strength. 

So join us. Unlock your leadership potential, get support and maybe get your butt lovingly kicked into action too, with Mark’s 8-week leadership lab.

Embody Your Leadership

This program is the most complete embodiment course we've ever put together.

To shift as a leader, you need to shift your body. This program contains practical exercises to help you to make that change.

You can watch it in your own time or join Mark's 8-week leadership labs to get personal support.

Embody Your Leadership will enable you to really see yourself as a leader and not be scared of that. You will unlock your full leadership potential and find your authentic style to truly make a difference in your world.

This course gives you the opportunity to uncover and unleash your most authentic and unapologetic self.

In Mark’s leadership labs, you’ll also be supported in a real-life project. These can be small and close to home, so don’t worry – you don’t need to run as the next president.

Examples of leadership projects could be starting a community group, launching a new offering, or even working on an aspect of yourself that’s an example to others.

While this course is aimed at the individual to start with themselves, coaches, trainers and facilitators will also love this very rich library of exercises for clients too. Feel free to help others with what’s in the course.

Fully embody your strengths

Recognise the ways YOU lead best and then practise embodying these qualities with confidence and clarity.

Move past procrastination, fear and doubt

Reconnect with your energy and purpose and learn embodied processes to do this on demand.

Fulfil your potential and contribute to the world

Uncover the unapologetic leader in you and take powerful actions in the world to change people’s lives.

What some of our students say about our courses

Lead teacher for the course

Mark Walsh

“Leadership can’t be taught from a book, we have to walk the talk.

I never used to see myself as a leader as I grew up with a model for that, that just wasn’t me. Through some good role models however I realised that authentic leadership came in all kinds of packages, and though embodied training started to grow the skills I needed.  

I started with small projects in the aikido world where I was learning embodied capacities critical to self-regulation and influence. Eventually I moved onto running a business, doing large trainings, heading the world’s biggest Zoom event, and to the recent work in Ukraine. 

I wasn’t born knowing how to do such things, but learnt through doing, supported by embodied transformation. Practices and skills, that’s what the “magic” is all about.

I’ve been teaching this stuff to big-bucks-paying CEO’s and my mentees for some years, but this is the first time I’ve put this work out there for everyone. The Embody your Leadership program is my life’s work, and the live “lab” element gives people a chance to learn through doing. It’s like an incubator where I can support you to move forward. 

If you want to embody your real potential and to make a difference, I hope you join us.”

"I've been following Mark for four years, first from afar, then as a student, mentee and finally working with him.

I'd be surprised if anyone knew more about what Embodiment Unlimited offers than me.

And if I had to choose just one course, this would be it.
I was there for the entire filming process, then reviewed it all and put it together.

Embody Your Leadership is what embodiment is about. Changing your world.

FAQs

Leadership labs are live tutorials with a limited number of participants that Mark will lead.

During them, there will be time to share your chosen leadership project, get personal support, practise embodiment exercises from the course, chat with peers in breakout rooms and more.

The material of this course is pre-recorded. The live sessions included with the leadership labs (tutorials) will be recorded and available on the learning platform for you to watch if you miss them.

If you get the one-to-one package, you’ll be put in contact to book a time for those sessions when suits both of you.

The leadership labs (live tutorials) start on June 21st and end on August 9th.

Access to pre-recorded components of the course will become available to everyone just before this date.

No, the course will benefit everyone wanting to make a difference in their worlds.

If you choose the basic package with just pre-recorded material, you can do it in your own time, although we’d suggest giving yourself an end date to work towards with your chosen leadership project.

If you choose a package with the live components, we’d recommend at least 2 hours a week, and it can be much more than that, depending on how long you spend on your leadership project.

The tutorials will be recorded and uploaded to the learning platform, but you’ll gain the most from the course by attending as many live as possible.

There is no requirement, however.

Our guarantee states:

If, by June 30, you complete all the course content from the first two weeks, try all the practices and still feel like there’s nothing you can use to progress as a leader  – we’ll give you your money back.
