You cannot guide others to a place of belonging you have not yet embodied.
Designed for senior leaders who want to lead with greater presence, clarity, and confidence, the Lead Embodied Path™ transforms the principles of Lead Embodied into practical leadership development. Choose from three training experiences — self-paced learning, a live cohort, or a live cohort with private coaching from Rhodes Perry.

Where the book becomes a practice.
The ideas in Lead Embodied are designed to be lived, not simply read. The book introduces a different way of thinking about leadership—one grounded in presence, self-awareness, trust, and the ability to stay connected to yourself when the pressure is on. The Lead Embodied Path™ takes that work a step further, turning the concepts in the book into practical experiences that help leaders apply them in real conversations, real decisions, and real leadership moments.
Because not every leader learns the same way—or needs the same level of support—the Lead Embodied Path™ is available in three distinct training experiences. The Self-Paced Course gives you the complete curriculum and embodied leadership practices on your own schedule, making it ideal for leaders who want the flexibility to learn and integrate the work independently. The Live Cohort Experience adds structure, accountability, live teaching, discussion, and the opportunity to practice alongside a small group of leaders who are doing the work with you.
For those who want the deepest level of support, the Live Cohort + Private Coaching experience combines everything in the cohort with individualized coaching from Rhodes Perry. It creates space to take the principles and practices from the program and apply them directly to the leadership challenges, decisions, relationships, and transitions you are navigating right now.
Three different experiences. One shared goal: to move Lead Embodied from something you understand intellectually to something you can actually practice, embody, and bring into the way you lead every day.
A framework to learn. A practice to live.

Your guide on the Lead Embodied Path™
Rhodes Perry is an award-winning bestselling author, somatic executive coach, and organizational culture strategist who helps leaders embody the presence, resilience, and authenticity required to navigate complexity, build trust, and create belonging-centered spaces where people can thrive.
For more than twenty-five years, he has partnered with values-driven leaders and organizations, drawing from leadership experiences with the White House, U.S. Department of Justice, and PFLAG National, as well as founding and leading a nationally recognized consulting firm.
As an openly transgender leader and lifelong human rights advocate, Rhodes demonstrates that the courage to lead begins with the courage to belong to yourself.
What leaders are saying
Lead Embodied is literally about how to embody the leader you were born to be. Rhodes is a treasure, and his writing is not to be missed.
“Wisdom doesn't just live in our heads — it lives in our bodies, too. Lead Embodied created a lasting shift in how I lead, make decisions, and show up.”
“Grounded, practical, and long overdue. Lead Embodied walks leaders toward something most leadership books never touch: the self underneath all of the noise.”
“The Lead Embodied Path™ transformed how I navigate relationships and make decisions. Instead of overextending myself, I'm making more intentional choices.”
Questions leaders ask
I'm a strategy person, not a “body” person. Will this land for me?
It usually lands hardest for exactly that leader. Somatics is not mysticism — it is practical work with the biofeedback your body is already sending your brain during every hard conversation. If you have ever walked out of a meeting knowing something was off before you could explain why, you already have the raw material. This teaches you to read it on purpose.
Will this actually show up in organizational performance?
Presence is not a soft outcome. Leaders who can regulate under pressure make cleaner decisions, hold difficult conversations sooner, and build the psychological safety that lets teams surface problems while they are still small. The practices are designed to move from your body into your calendar — the meeting you run differently on Tuesday is the deliverable.
I'm a senior executive. How confidential is this?
Cohorts are deliberately small and governed by clear agreements set in week one. Nothing shared in a session leaves the room, recordings are for participants only, and private coaching conversations are confidential. Many participants are executives navigating transitions they are not yet discussing inside their own organizations.
I'm already running on empty. Is this one more thing?
The practices are short by design — most take under ten minutes and are meant to be layered into the day you already have, not added on top of it. The point of this work is to stop leaking energy into performance and armor. Leaders typically report ending the cohort with more capacity than they started with, not less.
What if I can't make a live session?
Every live cohort session is recorded and posted for participants, and the self-paced curriculum is yours to move through on your own schedule. Come to what you can; the practice does not require perfect attendance.
Is this therapy?
No. This is somatic leadership coaching and education, not clinical treatment. The work is oriented toward how you lead — presence, decisions, relationships, culture. Rhodes will name it directly if something surfacing for you belongs in a therapeutic setting instead.
Can my organization enroll a team?
Yes. The curriculum is built to be practiced side by side, and team cohorts are one of the most effective ways to run it. For group enrollment, private cohorts, retreats, or keynotes, write to rhodes@rhodesperry.com.
Are scholarships available?
A limited number are held for each cohort. If cost is the only thing standing between you and this work, write to rhodes@rhodesperry.com and ask.
The leader you're looking for isn't someone you have to become.
