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.

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.

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

Anja Degen 

Anja’s belief is that when humans connect with their humanness, miracles are possible. Her passion and gift is to hold space for people to explore their deepest emotions, and with this she clearly and directly guides people into real transformational experiences.

Anja has over 20 years business experience, holding leadership positions on the SVP level in different countries. Her years in these positions convinced her that leadership effectiveness increases tremendously once leaders develop a higher level of (self)awareness. Her vision of what is possible in organizations if leaders re-connect with their bodies and emotions led her to become a coach and facilitator.

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.

Michael Diederen

He knows this threshold from times of crisis in his own life. With his open heart, he builds an atmosphere of trust in which people find the courage to go to the places we usually avoid. What moves him is seeing how far this work reaches: leaders who change also change the teams, organisations and communities around them. This is his way of helping to make the world a better place.

Michael has felt the pressure of responsibility from the inside, through fifteen years in corporate change and leadership roles. Since 2005 he has worked as a coach and facilitator, with training ranging from systemic coaching to the Leadership Circle Profile. Matrix work brings the depth beneath all of it. He coaches individuals and groups, in German and English.

Working with trauma has honed her ability to identify the blocks which limit our full potential. In her online practice she brings deep awareness to the body and she invites the client to identify, listen and engage with the ‘felt sense’ which may be inhibiting creative flow.
