AWENE Purpose and Sense
AWEN means the flow in celtic, when both your body and your mind are in a full open state to connect with yourself, others and your environment,
a magic moment of openness, receptiveness, security, creativity, wholeness and aliveness.
AWENE : AWEN + E = Embodied Cognition and Emotions to bring this powerful intelligence we all have: listening and trusting our body sensations, feelings, emotions that stimulate our brain and make us vibrate and moving. This energy that allows us to be ourselves authentically.
What drives us as individual? What puts us in motion?
We think rationally and ACT EMOTIONALLY
"We are not thinking machines that feel, rather we are feeling machines that think" - Antonio Damasio
Nowadays our professional life and the digital world could lead us to trust only our brain and even sometimes only the left part.
WE ALL have body and emotional intelligence.
Why limiting ourselves to our left half brain and not using all our capabilities and resources?
Let's BOOST and MOVE our MIND with embodied cognition to improve our communication, to manage any conflict and boost our human relationship agility.
“Great leaders move us – they inspire, motivate and energize us. How? they do it through emotional intelligence.” Daniel Goleman.
Let’s boost our powerful and universal resources:
Body language, Emotional Intelligence and Relational agility!
How to develop our self and perform in a complex and fast-pacing changing environment ? Being agile is a key resource to adapt and readjust.
AWENE's mission is to support changes and agility to make you moving forward, collaborating, being creative, taking risks, giving ourselves intention, performing and achieving. Agility is alive only with agile soft skills, fluid leadership and relational agility.
