Somatic Intelligence: Leadership Requires More than IQ and EQ (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798994633410)

What if your greatest leadership asset isn't your mind-but your body?

In Somatic Intelligence, executive coach Rebecca Arora introduces a transformative new framework for leading from the body up. Most leadership development focuses on mindset and emotional intelligence-but the body is even more foundational. When leaders tune into their bodyset-the postures, pace, and flexibility of their physical form-they can immediately access greater clarity, presence, and influence.

Grounded in over 15 years of coaching executives and C-suite leaders, Arora's method reveals six archetypes of high-achieving professionals-including the Achiever, the Controller, the Perfectionist, and more-each with its own hidden somatic patterns. This book offers practical tools tailored to each type, helping leaders shift unproductive behaviors at the root.

Designed for executives navigating pressure, change, and complexity, Somatic Intelligence is both a guide and an invitation: to reconnect with your body, expand your leadership capabilities, and lead with your whole self.

Rebecca Arora is a former tech co-founder turned executive coach who works with C-suite leaders across the globe. With over 15 years of experience in entrepreneurship, product strategy, and management consulting, she understands the pressure, pace, and politics of executive life-and what it takes to succeed within it.

As a trained somatic practitioner, Rebecca brings a rare ability to read posture, breath, and micro-movement as tools for transformation. Her coaching blends strategic insight with deep body-based awareness, helping senior leaders scale wisely, build resilient teams, and lead with clarity and presence.
