Sweatlodge stone representing inner fire of transformation and courage to lead our lives and businesses

Your Incubator for
Self-leadership

​The bridge between inner work and organizational reality.


We help people access what's already there - clarity, calm, confidence, connection - so they can lead themselves and show up fully, even under pressure.

 

Through transformational IFS coaching, circles, and immersive experiences, we create the conditions for change that can actually last.

Our Approach

We work from the inside out.


Most training and development focuses on skills and behavior - what to say, how to communicate, frameworks for feedback. That's useful, but it doesn't touch what actually happens when pressure hits: the shutting down, the defensiveness, the patterns that keep repeating no matter how many workshops people attend.


We go to the root.


Drawing on Internal Family Systems, organizational psychology, somatic practices, and lived experience, we help people tap into the natural resources already inside them - clarity, calm, confidence, courage, compassion, creativity, curiosity, connection. These aren't things we add. They're what's there when the protective patterns step aside.


Our work is practical. Simple enough for Tuesday's meeting. Deep enough for real transformation.

 

Whether through circles, coaching, offsites, or advising, we create the conditions for change that doesn't fade - because it's not just learned, it's lived.

Why This Matters Now
 

The workplace is at a breaking point.


Engagement is declining. Burnout is rising. Teams are struggling to connect, communicate, and stay grounded under pressure. The usual solutions - more training, better tools, new frameworks - aren't solving it.
 

Because the problem isn't skills. It's what's happening underneath.

The Research Confirms What We See Every Day

​Forbes reports that 71% of employers now value emotional intelligence over technical skills when evaluating candidates.

Gallup finds that global employee engagement has dropped to 21%, with manager burnout at crisis levels - and 70% of team engagement depends on the manager.

Harvard Business Review calls self-awareness "the starting point of leadership"- the foundational capacity that enables everything else.

McKinsey identifies burnout as a significant threat to organizational performance, noting that not addressing it leads to a "downward spiral" for individuals and organizations alike.

The research shows what's needed. We help organizations put this into practice.

What Makes Us Different

We work at the root level.

​

Most programs address behavior and skills. We address what's underneath - the protective patterns, the internal dynamics, the places where people get stuck. This is what creates change that actually lasts.

​

We focus on Self-leadership.

​

Clarity, calm, confidence, courage, compassion, creativity, curiosity, connection - these aren't things we teach. They're what people can access when the noise quiets down. Our work helps individuals and teams tap into these qualities and bring them into how they work together.
