Why Sensuality Changes Our Leadership Capacity
Jul 28, 2025
“To be sensual or sensuous is to be in the presence of your own soul", says the poet John O' Donahue. One of the easiest ways to come home to ourselves is to move the body sensually, which can be done in a business meeting. Not to exaggerate, or even to flirt, but it immediately shifts the focus from performance and achievement, to a recognition of something more, something bigger, something more essential is in the room. You come home to yourself again. This can be done by dancing, for example, as I've already recommended here, or swaying your hips, but even moving a few steps with slow awareness, as in mindful walking, where you feel your sensual connection, shifts the power dynamic in the room. This is particularly supportive if you feel drained, overwhelmed or having the sense that you have too much responsibility. Explore if this is true for you, and let me know if you try it and how you come to experience your soul through your sensuality.
