The Future of Leadership is Embodied: Why It’s Time to Rethink How We Lead
By Christine Higgins | Founder, Embodied Energy Wellness | Corporate Wellness Expert | Soul Coach
It’s no secret: the modern workplace is burnt out.
According to Deloitte’s 2024 Global Human Capital Trends report, 77% of executives say burnout is impacting employee retention and performance. And it’s not just employees—leaders themselves are overwhelmed, disconnected, and craving deeper purpose in the way they lead.
In fact, a McKinsey study found that nearly 50% of managers feel emotionally drained every day.
So the question is… what do we do about it?
As someone who spent over two decades in the corporate world—chasing deadlines, climbing ladders, and eventually facing burnout myself—I’ve lived this truth. And after walking the path of deep healing, I now support professionals and organizations to do things differently.
Introducing: The Embodied Energy Leadership Method
The Embodied Energy Leadership Method is a transformative wellness framework I created to support leaders and teams in developing emotional resilience, energetic alignment, and intuitive intelligence in the workplace.
This is not your typical leadership development program. There are no cookie-cutter strategies or ‘10 steps to success’ checklists here.
Instead, this method invites a new way of being—a more conscious, grounded, and soul-aligned way to lead and live.
The Problem Isn’t a Lack of Strategy—it’s a Lack of Energy
You can’t lead from burnout. You can’t innovate when you’re dysregulated. And you certainly can’t inspire others if you’re disconnected from yourself.
Yet this is where many leaders are operating from.
The Embodied Energy Leadership Method works by addressing the real, root causes of disconnection in today’s work culture—stress overload, emotional suppression, over-identification with achievement—and replaces them with tools that empower sustainable, soul-aligned leadership.
The 5 Core Pillars of the Method:
GROUND – Nervous system regulation, boundaries & embodied safety
FLOW – Emotional resilience, energy awareness & authentic communication
IGNITE – Reclaiming personal power, motivation & purpose
ELEVATE – Accessing intuition, clarity & visionary thinking
ALIGN – Integrating new ways of leading with authenticity & soul
This method is taught through powerful wellness workshops, executive coaching, immersive retreats, and energy reset sessions. It’s been delivered to senior leadership teams, HR departments, and high-performing individuals ready for something deeper.
Why It Matters (Now More Than Ever)
We’re in a paradigm shift. The old ways of leading—through fear, pressure, and endless performance metrics—are collapsing. Employees are seeking realness. Connection. A sense that their work matters. Leaders who model wellbeing and empathy—not burnout masked as ambition.
Organizations that fail to evolve will lose their people. Those who choose embodiment will create cultures of trust, retention, and regenerative success.
And the good news?
It starts with you.
