Biography

When smart people get stuck, they turn to Amanda Blake to help them tap their next level of intelligence.

As a Master Somatic Leadership Coach, Mandy has devoted her life to the spread of one simple message: when you learn to access the smarts hidden in sensation, you open the door to more courage, connection, and contribution than you ever imagined possible.

She has been praised for her ability to facilitate pragmatic, profound changes for clients from Sydney to San Francisco to Istanbul.  She holds a degree in Human Biology from Stanford University, and has taught leadership programs for the likes of Nike, NASA, and beyond.

But really, she’s here to show you how you can become your best self, build a better world, and have a blast along the way.

When she’s not teaching people practical ways to leverage the links between body, brain, and behavior, you can find her swing dancing with her sweetie to corny country songs, backcountry skiing in the Sierras, or learning cool ninja tricks from her nephews.

Her flagship online course, the Body = Brain Virtual Salon, is based on her award-winning book Your Body is Your Brain. Discover how you can embody your brilliance at embright.org.

Coaches are often taught to help clients see their stories differently; but rarely are they taught to help clients SENSE differently. What impact could sensing have?
This session explores the neurobiology at play when clients are dreaming of new options for themselves and taking action to bring those dreams to life. You’ll explore then transform this theoretical understanding into practical steps you can use to support your clients as they breathe life into their dreams.

  1. Discover specific steps you can take to help your clients tap their embodied intelligence in service of their dreams.
  2. Learn about the neurobiology at play when we envision a new future, and how our bodies play a role in how we take action — or fail to take action — on our dreams.
  3. Find out what you can say and do to help your clients step eagerly into explorations of their own embodied wisdom.
