Leadership Biodynamics: A Biology of Behavior Approach to Executive Presence

What Is Leadership Biodynamics?

Our Leadership Biodynamics Program is a science-backed, high-impact training and coaching experience designed to enhance executive presence through the biology of behavior. This program serves as a companion to the upcoming book, Biohacking Leadership: Leveraging the Biology of Behavior to Maximize Your Impact—bringing its core insights to life through immersive learning and application.

The book provides the foundational science behind leadership behavior, while this training transforms those insights into real-world capability. Whether you’re an executive, an emerging leader, or a professional aiming to build trusted relationships, this program equips you with the skills to connect authentically, communicate competently, and lead with measurable impact.

What Sets This Program Apart?

This is the most evidence-based, practice-proven executive presence framework available, built on years of rigorous research, testing, and validation. The framework focuses on three biodynamic channels—Warmth, Competence, and Gravitas—each with six measurable biomarkers of behavior. These behaviors serve as practical levers to signal executive presence, all backed by scientific research.

The insights behind this program are also explored in Biohacking Leadership, which delves into the biological driversof presence and influence. This training translates that research into action, giving participants the tools to apply, measure, and refine these behaviors in real-world leadership scenarios.

Taught as part of Purdue University’s curriculum in engineering, technology, and the sciences, this training has proven effective across diverse industries—from technology to healthcare, finance, and law.

Why Leadership Biodynamics Matters

Executive presence is not about projecting authority; it’s about fostering genuine trust and respect. Research demonstrates that leaders who effectively signal Warmth, Competence, and Gravitas are more likely to engage and inspire their teams, navigate high-stakes conversations, and build trusted relationships with stakeholders.

Biohacking Leadership provides the scientific foundation for this approach, while Leadership Biodynamics serves as the applied laboratory, turning theory into practice. Participants gain immediate feedback on their leadership signals, learning how to refine their presence for greater clarity, credibility, and impact.

This program is particularly valuable in:

High-stakes negotiations
Stakeholder and client engagement
Complex team challenges
Public speaking and executive communication

Who Benefits from the Program?

This program is ideal for professionals across industries who want to elevate their leadership influence and impact:

C-Suite Executives refining and elevating their leadership presence.
Aspiring Leaders building the trust and credibility to move up in their careers.
Technical Professionals (engineers, scientists, physicians) needing to communicate complex ideas with clarity and confidence.
Relationship-Driven Professionals (sales, finance, legal, client relations) aiming to form authentic, lasting connections. We have also developed a training customized specifically for those in relationship-driven sales roles. We call this Biohacking Sales. Learn more here.

What You Will Learn

Participants gain a powerful framework grounded in the biology of leadership, with practical tools to amplify presence and performance:

The Leadership Biodynamics Framework – Learn how to leverage the three biodynamic channels—Warmth, Competence, and Gravitas—and the 18 biomarker behaviors that drive leadership success.
Building Authentic Connections – Master the signals that foster trust, collaboration, and engagement.

The Most Evidence-Based Executive Presence Program

Our Leadership Biodynamics framework is built on scientific rigor and extensive validation. The research behind this program also serves as the foundation for Biohacking Leadership, ensuring that these methods are tested, proven, and measurable.

For example, studies show that participants report a 20-30% increase in executive presence ratings from peers after just two days of training. These quantifiable outcomes underscore the transformational impact of the biodynamics approach, making it one of the most reliable and high-impact leadership development programs available.

Quantifiable Outcomes from Recent Programs

At a recent training with a large scientific research lab, participants experienced a 25% improvement in executive presence scores over two days, leading to enhanced team cohesion and noticeable productivity gains within weeks.
