Physical Intelligence

Right now, hundreds of chemicals racing through each of our bodies (in our bloodstream and nervous system), dictate how we think feel, speak and behave. Most of us operate largely at the mercy of those chemicals without realizing that we can strategically influence them so that we can achieve more, stress less and live and work more happily. Physical Intelligence is the ability to detect and actively manage the balance of certain key chemicals through the use of hundreds of techniques -- ways of breathing, moving, thinking and communicating. Based on extensive neuroscientific research and our own clients' results, we know that Physical Intelligence doesn't just sit alongside but underpins cognitive and emotional intelligence. This podcast examines the business impact of Physical Intelligence at the individual, team, and organizational level and includes easy to use techniques you can use yourself and with your teams.For more information, visit www.companiesinmotion.com or contact us at info@companiesinmotion.com.

Physical Intelligence

Soccer, Leadership, the Ethics of Political Communication...and Physical Intelligence

November 30, 2021 • Claire Dale and Patricia Peyton

In this episode, we explore the intersection of soccer, leadership, the ethics of political communication -- and Physical Intelligence. (Yes -- They are all interrelated!)

Our guest for this episode is Peter Loge, an associate professor in the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, director of the Project on Ethics in Political Communication, a strategic consultant, and author of Soccer Thinking for Management Success, as well as a second book on the ethics of political communication.

As Peter writes, “success is no longer football, with its series of discreet plays and fixed roles... Organizational success requires real-time decision making, independent action and systems thinking. Organizational success is now soccer." That was written pre-COVID and is even more true today as organizations navigate the challenges of the hybrid work environment, as is leveraging Physical Intelligence to drive performance for leaders and their teams.

We discuss how Peter has brought the lessons he has learned through soccer and the ethics of political communication into his roles as a professor and consultant, as well as the importance of Physical Intelligence in today's world and the impact Physical Intelligence concepts have had in Peter's life and those of his clients and students.
