SPEAKER BIO
Nathanael Chawkin
For over fifteen years, Nathanael Chawkin has been a trusted spiritual guide and executive coach to leaders and coaches who are seeking to awaken their full potential in this lifetime. The space of awareness and presence that is cultivated in coaching sessions with Nathanael allows leaders to awaken to conditioned patterns and relationship dynamics they have been asleep to, oftentimes for decades, resulting in radical shifts in mindset and behavior that can occur from a single moment of realization. These sessions are said to have a lasting, exponential impact that is psychoactive in and of itself.
In his work with Palæstra Leadership, Nathanael specializes in transforming organizational culture by coaching executive team dynamics. By turning development into a team sport, leaders learn to approach tough conversations with heart, which creates radical new levels of trust, alignment, high-performance, and team flow. Once this cultural cornerstone is set, Nathanael helps clients build Deliberately Developmental Organizations (DDOs) that scale leadership development through in-house peer coaching practice so that "Everyone is a coach."
As a martial arts and mindfulness meditation instructor, Nathanael's practice-based approach has helped hundreds of executives from growth-minded, midmarket companies traverse the path to their next level of leadership development. His work with Palæstra Leadership clients has been covered by Entrepreneur magazine and the Financial Times. He has been a repeat guest on the Greatness Machine, a top 13 business podcast in the United States.
Nathanael completed his BA from Maharishi International University in 2002, and MA in Integral Psychology & Coaching from JFK University in 2009. He earned his 2nd degree blackbelt in Aikido in 2005 while serving as the senior director of an internationally renowned uchideshi (live-in training) program, and is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He founded Integral Martial Arts, “The Gentle Art of Mixed Martial Arts,” to coach human performance both on & off the mat, in 2011. He lives with his loving life partner, Elizabeth, a priestess of the divine feminine, in Santa Barbara, California.
