Unshakable Executive Toolkit
I want to receive email and text message notifications for Unshakable Executive Toolkit and coaching calendar appointments. We will never spam you.
The Unshakable Executive method begins by awakening our connection to our authentic Self, amidst societal pressures and protective tendencies. Each season offers an opportunity to reconnect and grow. For our 1st week, we focus on the embodied Self, self-leadership assessment, and intentional growth areas.
This week, we focus on conscious practice in your daily life by repeatedly asking: 'What am I feeling? Where do I feel it in my body? What does it need?' This activates 'interception' and helps notice unconscious patterns, fostering self-awareness. Transcending constant protective states allows growth and connection, leading to self-leadership. Tune into bodily signals for self-awareness and tension release.
This week, we're focusing on identifying 'trailheads'—moments signaling growth barriers—by recognizing and unblending from protective parts triggered by sensations. Sharing these experiences in the group aids in integrating new behavioral responses and witnessing others assists in transformative learning. This process transcends the linear program, fostering true self-leadership development within our community.
Week 4 introduces embodied stretches using the BASIC Method (Befriend, Attend, Shape, Integrate, Connect). It focuses on understanding our nervous system's reactions, exploring concepts like neuroception, interoception, and co-regulation. Revisiting earlier practices helps bridge understanding with embodied practice. Crafting and practicing embodied stretches in a vulnerable, open space with the group is a key objective this week.
Week 5 focuses on shadow work through embodied Self-Leadership. Your goal is to consciously observe your reactions during stretches, apply the BASIC method, and celebrate progress. Identifying protective parts, exploring their needs, and rewiring your brain from shame-induced patterns are pivotal. Strengthening your observation skills facilitates thoughtful responses, promoting deeper exploration within the group.
This week revisits Week 5 for deeper self-exploration amid life's challenges. We'll refine the BASIC method—Befriend, Attend, Shape, Integrate, Connect—to explore our shadows. No failure, just growth opportunities. Focus on refining stretches and applying methods in daily life.
Reflect on progress this week. Consider Christian's story—protective instincts may not align with current needs. Celebrate growth moments like improved self-care, faster emotional recovery, and deeper inner peace. Explore connections with inner peace and surroundings for recovery. Embrace the subtle joy of existence. Life becomes your practice, influencing choices and surroundings. Reflect on your relationship with the environment and notice somatic connections.
This week touches on Integrity, Accountability, and Self-Leadership. It emphasizes maintaining commitments for internal alignment and warns against relying solely on future goals. It introduces exercises to restore integrity and contrasts protector-based vs. self-driven accountability for personal growth.
This concludes the Unshakable Executive Program, highlighting celebration, appreciation, and commitment. It encourages men to acknowledge their achievements, appreciate experiences using formative language, and honor their commitments for personal growth.
Hi! I’m Chris Wilson, founder of the Unshakable Executive. 10 years ago, I found myself in a boardroom full of colleagues + clients, and something was wrong. I started to get hives and itchiness on my body — I tried to push it away but I couldn’t.
I had a massive anxiety attack in the office. I did not see it coming.
My experience shattered my identity and deconstructed everything I had been taught about leadership and being a “real” executive. I felt so deeply alone in this experience I didn’t think I could even share or talk about it - let alone with other men. It was a three wave recovery, an hour… a month… a year… coming back to the familiar questions of “who am I?”
In my search to answer this question, I started to learn how to connect with my body and developed a somatic practice. I quickly realized that reconnecting with my body was the key to rebuilding my inner confidence and science showed I couldn’t do it alone.
Humans are hardwired to be in a community; the connection allows us to heal, regulate our nervous systems, and grow. This is why I created the Unshakable Executive Community.
Five years ago, I founded the Unshakable Executive. Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of men who want to train to be courageous, open-hearted leaders of their lives and relationships. I founded this community for conscious men just like you.
Find your purpose and power.
Transform your life, work, and relationships.
Become Unshakable.
To be your best you must train to become a fully resourced leader
Being fully resourced means you are able to actively sense and sooth your nervous system in order to respond to the challenges of every day life.
This work is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational.
We don't learn these skills by focusing on the work directly, or even by reading about it. We discover these skills by working through the challenges in our lives, work, and relationships. Each challenge forms a customized curriculum made just for us.
A leader can not learn these skills completely on his own.
He must have a container in his life where he can train, witness other men and be guided to find his inner wisdom and connection to his embodied Self.
Answer the call of your life! Choose to be bold. Commit to growth and transformation.
Start with a free purpose and power session. In this session we will teach your the powerful 3x3 check-in tool to get out of your head and into your body. We will create a container for our first time and get clear about what sense of pain and purpose is motivating your to commit to doing deeper work on yourself.
Cross the threshold! Enter the ring!
The purpose and power session always ends with a threshold. The threshold is the choice to commit to the transformational process of the Unshakable Executive Program.
You will learn to take conscious action when you are stuck, and from a place of presence and compassion you will confidently confront your fear, insecurity, and doubt.
You know you weren't meant to do this work alone.
Join me and learn to become your own Unshakable Executive.
Are you ready to become an Unshakable Executive?
The most important part of any coaching relationship is the container we create and the intention we bring to it. Schedule a 30 min free purpose and power session to connect to the pain & purpose that you can leverage to inspire your development.

I felt like i had a best friend i could go to with anything that was coming up for me - things i wouldn’t want to share with anyone else. And no matter the outcome , it was all going to be fine because he coaches and guides you to be your own best friend - to honor your feelings and desires and needs and to have the courage to be vulnerable with others.
