Managing yourself and others
(Self)Leadership with a Budo Mindset
Overwhelmed. Drained. Too many to-dos, not enough clarity.
If you feel like you’re constantly chasing after everything, it’s time to come back to yourself.
🥋You don’t need to reinvent the wheel — everything you need to lead with clarity and ease is already within you.
Whether you’re new to leadership or already experienced — here you’ll learn how true leadership begins with inner stability and a clear stance.
When you’re grounded in yourself, you become truly effective, calm, focused, and centered, even under pressure.
This workshop is for you if:
👉 You carry responsibility — for people, projects, or decisions — and notice moments of hesitation or self-doubt.
👉 You’re stepping into a new leadership role and want to strengthen your inner foundation.
👉 You’re navigating tension or conflict within your team.
👉 Reorganizations or high expectations are testing your balance.
👉 You want to show up with confidence and composure — even when things get intense.
We take a closer look to your usual behavioural patterns: defining your way, sorting out the noise that does not serve you so that you can focus on what is crucial in your role.
Because you aim to be successful, and yet be balanced, healthy and empowered.
This workshop will activate both your body and your mind
Why makes the Budo Method so fun and effective
👉In martial arts, you learn how to stand your ground, even under pressure.
👉You learn to stay in motion without losing your balance.
👉You learn to be present in the moment and to trust yourself.
That’s exactly what strong leadership requires.
The Budo Coaching Method combines body and mental practice which strengthens mental clarity.
What you train on the mat — focus, posture, centering — carries over into your daily life.
Into your communication. Your decisions. Your presence.
💡Good to know:
You don’t need any martial arts experience or to be athletic.
It’s not about performance — it’s about body awareness and insights drawn from ancient wisdom.
Every exercise is adapted to your level and needs.
What You’ll Take Away
Yol’ll know where your strength lies and where to focus your energy on.
You’ll gain clarity in your decisions and find it easier to stand your ground.
You’ll appear more confident because you’ll build a stable foundation — physically and mentally.
You’ll learn to notice tension early and release it before stress takes over.
You’ll discover ways to build energy instead of draining it.
You’ll strengthen your inner resilience and sense of self-efficacy.
In short:
You’ll lead with more clarity, communicate with awareness, and act with determination, in a way that’s authentic, healthy, and powerful.
Small group, lots of practice. Max. 6 participants.
Still skeptical?
This isn’t about sitting cross-legged in meditation, it’s a practical workshop to improve decision-making, focus, and presence.
No fluffy talk. Just clear, body-based exercises you can apply to feel more at ease in meetings, conversations and challenging situations.
Participant Feedback
I took away so many parallels to our themes of self-leadership, team leadership and everyday life in general. The key message: Be aware of your own resources. Those who don’t know (or ignore) their resources quickly end up drained. Reflection is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. My personal takeaways: Work smart, not (only) hard — smart effort beats brute force. And get help when you need it; you don’t have to do everything alone.
A big thank you for this wonderful workshop! It was relaxed, refreshing, and at the same time incredibly inspiring.
The combination of movement and theory created many ‘aha’ moments.
My key takeaways: managing my energy more consciously and setting clear boundaries
