Coaching is all about helping clients solve problems and capture opportunities, but many traditional work cultures and coaching methodologies focus on external goals and outcomes without developing inner leadership. This leads to burnout, overwhelm, turnover, and limitations for the individual and organization. 

​The concepts of inner leadership have been applied to a wide range of organizations and individuals. Clients report sustainable, lasting change on a variety of topics.

Organizational outcomes have included:

• increased team cohesion and performance
• increased trust between executives and employees
• reduced employee burnout/overwhelm/turnover
• reduced conflict

Individual outcomes have included:

• increased communication techniques that get clients more of what they want
• increased emotional mastery, which led to greater productivity and improved work relationships
• more effective strategies for handling the distress of uncertain situations
• ​stress reduction
  
• meeting and exceeding sales targets
• increased assertiveness
• promotions​
