You can't be connected and protected
at work.

Most of us spend our days taking care of other people and performing to make our bosses happy. We get so busy doing, pushing things forward, and trying to manage our lives that we lose touch with ourselves. While this is incredibly common, putting yourself last eventually becomes unsustainable.

What if there was a way to move from surviving your life to thriving?

Embodied Leadership

What happens when we aren't an afterthought.

We often carry the cultural belief that taking care of ourselves is selfish, but the opposite is actually true. When we bake time into our days to make sure we are resourced, it actually helps everyone else's nervous system around us.

To heal and repair powerfully, we are going to have to do it in community with other humans. When we fill ourselves up and have our own needs met, we actually have something to offer others.

You are in good company.

Because our biology dictates that we are wired to be connected, we want you to know you do not have to do this alone.

"As corporate leaders, we have so much coming at us requiring us quick reactions and problem solving. We must also be good listeners, provide feedback and empower our team. Humanity Shared opened my eyes to the importance of remaining present, balanced and vulnerable as a leader. I now lead with my authentic voice. I am calm, clear, and curious with my team members, my executives and my customers."

— Heidi Ralyea, Vice President Telco Sales | CBTS

"Humanity First provided a refreshingly different and profound approach to 'leadership training' than others in my 25 year career. It taught me how to access the most authentic, grounded and best parts of myself to serve those around me. I find myself leading with openness and curiosity instead of simply driving to fix other's dilemmas and problems. I would describe the training as rich, transformative and incredibly powerful."

— Colleen Johnson, Director | The Nature Conservancy

"Our Leadership Team had been together for less than 6 months. There was a disconnect, a lack of trust, and trouble gaining traction as a cohesive team. In an extremely large and global organization, it was mission critical to trust one another as colleagues. The work done with Humanity Shared has truly connected us on a deeper level. It was refreshing to not have slide heavy, cookie cutter, non-information thrown at us. There was no drinking from a firehose to hurry up and be on the other side of it. It was more a slow drip to sustain us and help us grow."

— Elizabeth Bailey, Certified Executive Assistant | Medtronic

"Humanity Shared embodied leadership is about growth. I have drifted in and out of leadership roles for 40 years, but I've grown more as a leader in the past 9 months than I have in those previous years combined. Finally, the way I engage the world has fundamentally changed. Instead of 'playing it safe' as I have for my whole life, I find myself leaning in and taking risks - living! - almost every day."

— Michael Smith, Advanced Concept Engineer | L3 Harris Technologies

"My experience with Humanity Shared has been transformative professionally. Through their programs, I've honed invaluable skills like empathy, teamwork, and community service... The ethos of compassion and service influenced my work approach. Understanding others' needs and empathizing with different perspectives allowed me to forge stronger professional relationships and contribute meaningfully to team dynamics."

— Tim McKenna, National Account Manager | CBTS

"This has been transformational professionally and personally. Key concepts like vulnerability, feedback, calling people in, and speaking truth are powerful in both realms. As a CEO/GM type, I've found employees yearning for these teachings - authenticity, empathy, and capturing people's best contributions, often missing in organizations."

— Phil Anson, Business Advisor | Natural Foods Entrepreneur

"I have been a leader all my life in one way or the other, and Humanity Shared has caused me to step in differently and to understand leadership as service to myself and to others. It has caused me to see possibility in so many places that I hadn't considered."

— Polly Donald, Former Head | Friends School of Boulder

"Attending Taylor's talk on the importance of connections was eye-opening. The speaker's down-to-earth style and knack for getting everyone involved made it all feel so achievable. It's amazing how something as simple as connecting with others can enrich our lives so enormously."

— Michele A. Kettles, MD, MSPH Chief Medical Officer | Cooper Clinic

"I was taught to stand on my feet, get grounded and speak from my heart to share what is true. To enter the room you need to use your voice, connect, give feedback, and know that we are all just human. Humanity Shared has shown me the big disconnect which is CONNECTING to self and to HUMANS, which has been my guide."

— Jennifer Casavecchia, Owner of Nature's Design | Steamboat Springs

"All these experiences have caused me to do things I otherwise wouldn't have done. Humanity Shared has so far helped me shine light on dark areas inside myself that I have been mostly avoiding throughout my life. It has helped me dismantle the armor I have put up throughout the decades."

— Alexandra Heerdegen, Yoga Teacher | Women's Prison, Denver

Safely Expanding Capacity

Growth shouldn't require emotional violence. We expand your window of tolerance through intentional, paced integration.

Level 1

Catching Your Breath

A small, accessible shift. Simple practices like putting a hand on your heart, asking yourself who is in there, and discovering exactly what she needs in this moment.

Level 2

Building Capacity

Learning to parent ourselves and show up resourced. As your capacity grows, you’ll find yourself making fewer mistakes, having genuine conversations, and leaving the day feeling fulfilled rather than exhausted.

Level 3

Rooting In

We are wired to be connected. There is a profound difference between fitting in and belonging. True belonging means you get to show up exactly as you are.
