Ger Daly

Ger’s hunger for deeper awakening and transformation in himself, enables him to guide others on this same journey. He holds space for leaders to melt the frozen blocks of trauma, that are the biggest obstacles to their fullest potential.
 
While working as a TV News Studio Director and triggered by years of high stress in a toxic work environment, Ger began to explore meditation, breathwork, and energy awareness. So began the journey of awakening and healing for Ger, that would take him to mountain tops and ancient temples of the Himalayas, and to the greatest depths of himself.
 
Now, over a decade later, Ger is committed to supporting all those called to embark this journey, one that has the possibility to fundamentally change their lives.

Ian Paterson

At a time when the familiar ground beneath leaders is continually shifting, the deepest invitation is not simply to move faster, but to pause, listen and become more fully present to themselves.

Ian creates a crucible for deep transformational change - a place of unconditional presence, trust, and safety where healing can begin. In his quiet, grounded invitation, leaders lower their defences, move beyond the habits of the mind, and reconnect with the intelligence of the body. They are invited to meet what has been held, hidden, or left unresolved with compassion, allowing old patterns to soften and a deeper sense of wholeness to emerge.

 From this embodied healing, awakening is possible. Leaders learn to recognise when fear, habit or reactivity is shaping their behaviour; to remain open and present in difficult circumstances; and to create relationships grounded in trust.

Leader as Healer Book Award 2023.png

Thus, in a Matrix Coaching session we give only two minutes to the ‘narrative’, to the presenting issue, and immediately look together into what is actually happening inside us beyond the conceptual bubble of our thinking.

Here we encounter physical sensations, and within the physical sensations, we discover that there are often unattended layers of emotion.

In the remaining twenty-five minutes instead of creating further fragmentation by labeling some emotions ‘negative’, or by trying to fix, transform or over-analyse them, we create a warm, safe enough, unconditional space to simply feel, to finally give up all the tension we use to not feel.

In so doing, we usually discover a profound relaxation, a deeply welcome sense of ‘coming home’, of ease, of oneness.

This is _energy_ work, and the results of each session will be experienced in the whole self. Typical results are more energy flow, more ease, more compassion and empathy, more clarity, a sense of inner space, and more groundedness.

These are the foundations of **Leader as Healer**


Winner of the Business Book of the Year 2023 award. 

Welcome to a new vision of leadership. This powerful training is designed to give leaders and leadership teams the frameworks and practices that will take your work to new levels of coherence, service and impact.
The leadership that is needed now.

All sessions bookings are subject to availability. The booking is completed upon receipt of a full payment of the session fee. Sessions are opened for booking until 24 hours in advance of the scheduled start time.

Each of us is an energetic structure within which at any one time there is free- flowing life energy, and stuck or frozen energy.

Nothing in us needs healing, fixing or transforming. What is needed are qualities of unconditional acceptance and a trust to move towards and embrace whatever is arising.

In the words of Nikola Tesla: “if you want to understand how the universe works, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”

All the coaches have spent decades developing and refining their capacity to sense/read/feel into clients, and creating a warm, safe space that will help you bring and refine your feeling attention to your interior

Lisa Kohn

Lisa has partnered with senior executives and leadership teams for over thirty years as a coach and facilitator. She is a constant learner and brings her all to her clients – all she knows, all she’s learned and is learning, and all she is curious about.

With depth, breadth, humor, and warmth, Lisa lovingly creates space for her clients to feel deep into themselves and their truths, embrace and love their shadows and light, find and then allow their body to guide them, and – First Most Always – love themselves dearly. With this she knows that all is possible.

Lisa’s life story caused a dearest to recently ask her, “What’s it like to have so much trauma to choose from?” Because of all she has personally experienced, Lisa has been described as “leading with love” and as a “lightning rod” for others to bring their deepest healing and awakening work. She lives to walk alongside others as they find their ways to the embodiment and universal connection she now knows is possible for all – to a depth of love (for self and others) and Joy within oneself.
