When leaders are well, everything they touch transforms.
Insideout Living™ is where trauma-informed coaching meets leadership restoration. Through workshops, keynotes, and consulting engagements, Lisa and Steve help organizations, teams, and executives cultivate the kind of emotional intelligence and integrity that sustains success — without sacrificing soul.
Restoring the Human Core of Leadership and Connection
Lisa and Steve specialize in helping leaders, teams, and couples uncover what’s really driving their internal systems — the hidden burdens beneath burnout, conflict, disengagement, or silence.
Their work goes deeper than motivation. They catalyze transformation that begins with awareness, deepens through embodiment, and results in sustainable change — the kind that restores both performance and presence.
They help organizations and partnerships by:
Making visible the relational and nervous-system patterns that quietly erode trust, agility, and innovation.
Elevating emotional literacy and regulatory capacity so that high-stakes decisions, collaboration, and culture shifts are grounded in calm strength.
Transforming conflict and communication breakdowns into spaces for shared leadership and renewed connection.
Strengthening both individual and relational resilience so that your leadership body — and the culture it shapes — isn’t just surviving, it’s thriving.
Build emotionally resilient cultures
Integrate trauma-informed practices for teams, executives, and couples
Improve communication and trust within high-pressure environments and relationships
Address invisible stressors impacting retention, morale, connection, and creativity
Create relational systems that model both excellence and attunement with empathy
“The health of organizations and relationships is never greater than the well-being of all.”
