What Becomes Possible When You Lead From the Inside Out

Today, I want to acknowledge one of my former clients.

- Shared with written permission -

First, let's create some context.

We did some amazing work together.

By the end of our coaching agreement, I felt like I was sitting across from a different person:

— more grounded,

— more courageous,

— more confident,

— more willing to be in their leadership,

— more connected to their superpowers.

The Feedback

Here’s what they shared after our final session:

"This was incredibly powerful. I didn’t expect it to have such an effect.

I gained so much — and that gives me a deep sense of confidence.

No matter what happens, I now have ways to be with it and to work with it.

This was far more than I had imagined.

It turned out to be a hundred times more helpful than I thought.

I’m experiencing a real shift — one I’ve never felt before."

It was a massive joy to support this leader.

(Somehow, I only get to work with absolutely amazing clients.)

What it takes…

Let me be clear: 100% of the ROI on this transformation belongs to the client.

- To how they showed up

- To their openness

- To the work they put in

- To the courage they demonstrated — again and again

I take my hat off to them!

Creating What You Really Want

Fast forward a few months — we had a follow-up conversation, and I was blown away.

They had been facing real challenges at work that involved their boss.

And most people would have:

• Complained - especially about the boss

• Looked for another job

• Gotten into conflict...

But not this person.

Instead, they created a new role they had been dreaming of

— by having real, courageous, honest conversations across the company.

They are serving the company, the employees, and the clients of the company on a totally different level now.

They are now becoming the go-to person for solving important, complex, expensive problems inside a well-known organisation.

They’re building their team.

They’re having even more impact — on the company, on society, on the planet.

They are living their life on their terms.

A life that is more aligned with their values.

The “Secret”

So… what’s the “secret”?

Three things:

1) They continued the inner work — doing the reps, kept building the muscles, creating momentum, and gaining inner strength.

2) They got clear on what they wanted.

3) They took courageous, powerful action — and kept going, no matter what.

And how I see it: There is much, much possible for them. This chapter is just the beginning of a very exciting journey!

Even more good news?

This isn’t magic.

This is available to anyone willing to do the work.

Yes — that includes YOU.

Be awesome.

Be YOU.
