Anouk Brack

Anouk Brack is a trainer, coach and speaker in leadership development, based in Arnhem in the Netherlands. Her work, offered through AnoukA Training, centres on Leadership Embodiment: helping professionals, teams and organisations stay present, communicate clearly and act with focus and resilience, particularly when things get tense. Her own phrase for it is a cool head, a warm heart and a straight back.

Her YouTube channel describes her as the first certified Leadership Embodiment trainer in the Netherlands. She has worked with organisations including Radboud UMC, AFM, ProRail and Dawn Foods. Her method draws on biology, mindfulness, Eastern martial arts, leadership embodiment and techniques from elite sport. Her Insight Timer page also names Buddhism as an inspiration. Through practical exercises she helps people bring body and mind into line so they can function well in demanding situations.

Besides open trainings, in-company programmes and coaching, she offers certification courses for coaches and trainers who want to teach Leadership Embodiment. Short online mini-trainings cover topics such as meditation, starting the workday with focus, and working with self-doubt. She has written books on embodied leadership, including "De verborgen dimensie van leiderschap", and a daily focus planner.

Participants and colleagues describe a practical, down-to-earth approach with humour. One client wrote that she is "de rust zelve" (calmness itself) and never judges. AnoukA Training says participants rate its trainings an average of 9.
