Anna is a leadership and embodied presence coach, facilitator, and coach educator. She has trained around 1,000 coaches globally and serves as a Faculty at the Co-Active Training Institute. She is the founder of Wholeness in You, where she works with leaders in transformation to develop an embodied leadership presence, so they can lead with clarity, creativity, and power without shutting down. In this conversation, Nina and Anna explored how:

To Move from a Reactive to a Centered State — We all have a default "reactive" mode driven by old subconscious programming. Anna explains how to recognize when you're in it and how to shift back to your centered state, where your real leadership presence lives.

Your Body Knows Before Your Mind Does — The vagus nerve and nervous system are constantly processing information your conscious mind hasn't registered yet. Anna breaks down why embodiment isn't a wellness trend — it's actually a better way to increase your self-awareness.

Presence Can't Be Performed — Executive presence isn't about posture or polish. We make the case that authentic presence is energy, and people feel it whether you're trying to project it or not — which means the real work is internal.
