Transform how you lead (and live) with embodied leadership.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN WORK AND WELL-BEING THROUGH EMBODIED LEADERSHIP.
Embodied leadership is the new era of leadership the world desperately needs.
After over a decade in executive leadership, I've experienced firsthand how hard it is to lead and impact real change while maintaining your well-being.
Awarely is my antidote for leaders who are tired of being stuck in cycles of stress, overwhelm and burnout. I see a world full of leaders equipped with the skills and capacity they need to navigate the complexities of the modern workplace - this is embodied leadership.
- Danielle Smeltzer, founder and Chief Capacity Officer.

Build capacity through embodied leadership
Shift from reacting to responding
Come into relationship with your nervous system to navigate complexities of the modern workplace with greater ease and clarity. Make intentional decisions and communicate authentically to build meaningful connections.
Move from burnout to integrated well-being
Build capacity to be more present, engaged, creative and innovative at work (and in life) with accessible self-regulation and co-regulation skills. Learn to interrupt and complete stress response cycles.
Be the calm in the storm
Cheesy? Yes. But it's true. Embodied leaders mobilize change and empower others through their calm and grounded presence. Lead from a place of alignment while staying rooted in your core purpose and values. The ripple starts here.

Hot topics we're talking about...
Myth 1 - Stress is bad and should be avoided or eliminated.
Stress is a fact of life and leadership. We actually need stress (or activation) to mobilize us to do amazing work and get things done. Instead, Awarely focuses on shifting our relationship with stress and building more capacity for the inevitable ups and downs of the workplace.
Myth 2 - Work/life balance is the goal.
This is an unattainable myth, and here's why; our nervous system doesn't know the difference between work and life. Instead, Awarely focuses on equipping leaders with regulation skills so they can transition between work and life with greater ease.
Myth 3 - Pizza parties, more time off and mindfulness seminars are the keys to stress and burnout.
These are bandaid solutions. Instead, Awarely focuses on addressing the root causes of stress and burnout and equipping leaders with sustainable and actionable skills #nomorepizzaparties
