Integrative Presence™ for Leaders

An Exclusive Program for Leadership Development to Inspire Engagement

"Presence is like sonar radar: Seeing the reality of things that eyes and ears can neither see nor hear." – Tünde Erdös
Not sure whether Integrative Presence™ is right for you? On this page, we will tell you more about this unique, advanced program for leadership development. Who it is for, why it is so important for you as a leader to master presence, and what you can gain by choosing Integrative Presence™ instead of registering for yet another executive leadership development program.
IMPACT ICF

Who is this leadership development program for?

The Integrative Presence™ advanced learning program is for you if:

You seek to develop a sense of discernment of how to engage or re-engage teams, employees, and peers to be the purposeful leader you aspire to be

You dare to grow your impact to make the difference that young generations need to thrive: as you sense that you’re here for a purposeful impact!

You wish to grow beyond well-established leadership skills as you notice that New Work is calling you to lead from the side, the edge, the bottom, and not from the top

You want to tap into some fresh, more holistic approaches that have solid footing in academic research and can challenge your knowing and experience for the better

You are curious about the differences between online and offline presence because you realize that the virtual world takes a different way of engaging others, and you want to embrace the new type of leadership for the Digital Age

How mastering presence can help you in your everyday challenges as a VP or CEO?

In our research, we found that presence is the capacity to ‘respond spontaneously’ rather than ‘react remote-controlled’ in any pivotal situation. It allows you to create the most valuable impact for all involved.

Managing conflicts under extreme pressure

Imagine that you’re part of a leadership team at a global organization. In your role as a VP of HR, you’re also mandated to consult your peers on various leadership and management agendas.
You’re amidst a huge re-organizational campaign, and pressure mounts as the CEO sets KPIs that the leadership team seems ‘unable’ to commit to.
In one meeting, the CRO and CEO end up entrenched in an open exchange that leaves the leadership team paralyzed.
The situation is highly political, relationships are complex, emotions are high, and attaining KPIs just got pushed back on the back burner.
Now you’re left wondering: how am I to manage that conflict? And you’re to, as you’ve got the mandate. But, how?

Dealing with the feeling of being disconnected and out of place

Imagine that you’re the CEO of a regional branch of an internationally acting production company. The company has recently gone public, changing from a family-run business to a shareholder entity.
As sustainability is declared to be a driving force for your company, production sites undergo major restructuring in all regions.
Amidst these changes, you start noticing the political climate shifting among the leadership team as well as between the board and regional leaders.
That climate roughens and toughens, and you start getting the impression that you’re surrounded by ‘hitmen’.
Now you feel frustrated and start wondering, ‘Am I right here?’, ‘What’s this hostility against me?’, ‘Should I stay, or should I go?’, …
These examples share one common question: how do I discern what’s going on to feel capacitated to make the most impactful and purposeful decisions? What to trust?
How to stay engaged without withdrawing from or fighting the situation, without fleeing the chaos? What does it take to stay impactful between polarities and under extreme pressure?

Therefore, Integrative Presence™ addresses…

  • The common misconception that meaningful change is out of reach.

‘Presence’ is not just a buzzword for leaders. Your leadership effectiveness is not down to a few key metrics. And, virtual and in-person interactions are not interchangeable, so here you’ll have the chance to co-create meaningful change.
  • The limiting belief that overcoming the rat race of bigger-faster-higher leadership is impossible.

We cultivate a learning environment with coaches. Here you’ll learn how to experience joy and serenity in and through your leadership. And how to make an impact that will reverberate in the younger generations’ lives.

  • The ways in which leaders can co-create and belong to a world that is filled with intentionality.

Achieve the next level of innovative leadership in our remarkable times by ‘being present in the moment’ to what matters when it comes to staying grounded between polarities amidst order and chaos.

That’s where you meet us and we meet you. We’re changing the way you can tap into your true power and connect with how to powerfully stay present to what matters most.

Can presence EmPower you and your world? You bet.

Why choose Integrative Presence™ as a leader?

Effective leadership is NOT about pushing for ever higher human performance.

  1. Here you can learn how to make a difference and navigate stakeholder complexities at the same time.

You must maintain a fresh perspective while exuding stability and trustworthiness for an enduring positive impact.

You wish to lead from an awareness of what you want to be remembered for. Because your kids’ generation doesn’t care about big money. But you can still become their role model in ways that matter.

The Science Behind Integrative Presence™

After 4 years of academic research, we’ve established the 4 spheres that influence our presence in any given situation. This research-based approach serves as a basis for our program.

The 4 Spheres of Integrative Presence™: A Relational Approach to Empowerment

The I-Sphere is about you, your energy, and how you show up.
➢ You’ll learn all about self-congruence.
The We-Sphere relates to how you show up with others differently.
➢ You’ll learn all about interpersonal congruence.
The All-Sphere reflects the contexts that influence your conversations.
➢ You’ll learn about how you co-depend with your environment.
The OMNI-Sphere is everything else that you bring into any interaction (cultural background, your ethics and morality, philosophy of life, etc.).
➢ You’ll learn how to craft an integrated leadership approach.
If you learn how to work effectively with all 4 spheres, you’ll have the courage and leverage to create a meaningful impact. You’ll outgrow your limitations, and that’ll help you to adapt to accelerating changes.
All the while, you’ll:
● Inspire engagement,
● Thrive through conflict,
● Establish effective communication, and
● Co-create a trusting environment by being in synchrony with your team and stakeholders.
Integrative Presence™ offers both offline and online learning sets: a virtual action learning opportunity as well as a 3-day coaching & leadership retreat. This hybrid approach allows you to master the key differences between engaging with others online and offline.

Here’s What Others Said About Our Leadership Development Workshops & Retreat:

Barbara A.

“Mandatory for all coaches and leaders…”

The Integrative Presence program exceeded my expectations. As a scientist and coach, I appreciate that it is based on solid and innovative research.

The findings and most of all Tünde’s insightfulness and commitment have given birth to a unique coaching training for everyone and without any doubt mandatory for all coaches to thrive in the new era of digitalization and overwhelming information.

It has been an irresistible experience. We need more!! Congratulations, Tünde and Claire you are building a fantastic and powerful partnership for the sake of all.

Renate K.

“When I decided to participate in the integrative presence training I was pretty sure that I had a clear understanding of my person and my “being present”.

However, on writing my reflection paper after the first session, I recognized that there was much more to the concept of “present” than I had been aware of. Moving through the training, I was challenged in different ways – not only intellectually. I tried to learn to interact with my body, which is also “talking” to me. And I learned that this is not magic because there are scientific methods available to make relationships and emotions visible. Hence, my takeaway from this training is that interacting with my body in the here and now makes me feel better and more efficient and aware of how I appear to my environment.

Walter E.

“The conceptual idea to bring people from the coaching and executive world together brought a rich diversity of experience and views.”

My personal takeaway is the daily practicing of the “sense-perceive-process-respond/act” sequence. Like a golf pro who practices his swing every day, this is equally valuable for leaders and coaches alike.
