Pleasing

Our method is rooted in neuroscience and grounded in the power of the nervous system: the mind and body are inseparable. When they’re aligned, you lead with greater clarity and confidence.

Learn About My Method

Wondering if a nervous system-led approach could help you experience more fulfillment in your career and life?

As a high-performing leader, you may be prone to being analytical to the point of overthinking, which is why switching off the mind and connecting with the body is so important.

The key to unlocking your personal power to become a more confident and impactful leader is learning to attune to the sensations and signals of your body. When you lead from a regulated nervous system, you lead with greater clarity, ease, and confidence. This is the heart of Your Innate Edge™ Method, the foundational framework that guides all of my coaching programs.

NOTE FROM ADRIENNE

My journey as a coach began in my 20s when I realized I was stuck in people-pleasing mode in many aspects of my life, one being in my career. I was on a career path that I thought I should be on rather than the path I truly wanted to be on. I have helped hundreds of women reconnect with their whole selves, awaken to their purpose, and lead outrageously fulfilling careers and lives. I’m so glad you’re here.
