About Strozzi institute
Strozzi Institute: Empowering Leaders and Teams Worldwide
Strozzi Institute is a leading organization that provides leadership and coaching programs to individuals and teams around the world. With a focus on embodied leadership, Strozzi Institute offers unique training programs that help individuals develop their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual capacities to become more effective leaders.
Founded in 1985 by Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Strozzi Institute has been at the forefront of developing innovative approaches to leadership development. The institute's programs are based on the principles of somatics - the study of how our bodies shape our experiences - and draw from a range of disciplines including martial arts, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy.
At Strozzi Institute, we believe that true leadership is not just about acquiring knowledge or skills but about embodying certain qualities such as presence, resilience, empathy, courage, and authenticity. Our programs are designed to help individuals cultivate these qualities through experiential learning that involves both physical practices (such as Aikido) and reflective inquiry.
Our flagship program is the Embodied Leadership Program (ELP), which is a year-long intensive training program for leaders who want to deepen their capacity for embodied leadership. The ELP combines residential retreats with online learning modules and one-on-one coaching sessions to provide participants with a comprehensive learning experience.
In addition to the ELP, we offer other programs such as Team Coaching Intensive (TCI), which focuses on developing high-performing teams; Somatic Coaching Certification Program (SCCP), which trains coaches in somatic coaching techniques; Embodied Life™ Coach Certification Program (ELC), which teaches coaches how to integrate somatic practices into their coaching work; among others.
Our clients come from diverse backgrounds including business executives, non-profit leaders, educators, healthcare professionals among others. We have worked with organizations such as Google Inc., NASA Ames Research Center., Stanford University, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
At Strozzi Institute, we are committed to creating a world where leaders embody the qualities of presence, resilience, empathy, courage, and authenticity. We believe that by developing these qualities in ourselves and others, we can create positive change in our organizations and communities.
If you are looking for a leadership development program that goes beyond traditional approaches and helps you develop your whole self as a leader, then Strozzi Institute is the right choice for you. Contact us today to learn more about our programs and how we can help you become an embodied leader.
