Nurture the nature of your leadership

WYLD defines leadership not by your role, but by how you lead yourself through each day. Drawing from behavioral economics, positive psychology, and ancient wisdom traditions, WYLD’s approach leads to lasting results.

We support individuals, teams, and organizations through our coaching, workshops, and retreats.

WYLD designs transformational experiences

Navigational teaching is simple and application-based. Pair that with “sticky,” experiential learning that’s customized to your / your team's needs, inspired by the wisdom of nature, and balanced with a “left + right brain” educational approach — and you have the WYLD Way.

We help people stock their leadership toolkits and tap into the innate wisdom within. Through customized leadership development training, individual and team performance, engagement, and productivity are increased. Our impact consistently reflects a greater sense of purpose and motivation.

A few of our clients

This was an amazing experience which was led and managed by a great team at WYLD. I've done many of these in my career and this was one of the best. If you want to develop as a person or as a team, make the investment and partner with WYLD. You won't regret it.

My WYLD experience has been nothing short of eye-opening. The WYLD guides know exactly how to unearth thoughts, goals, feelings, etc. that I didn't even know were there. I think of my time with WYLD as a therapeutic and supportive safe space to explore myself and my team.

The WYLD curriculum enforces having a strong sense of self but also having an equally strong sense of others, specifically your co-workers. The WYLD way is an amazing way to better understand how you and those you work & live with operate.

WYLD takes a refreshingly different approach to what it means to know yourself and your team as leaders.

I felt like WYLD took what was already present in my team and myself and brought it to the surface. It gave us a safe space that allowed us to build trust, collaborate, and plan for the future.

The WYLD experience really enforces an understanding of where you are in your leadership destiny (personally and professionally). The WYLD team does an amazing job of bringing the human element to business decision making and process.  They help you to articulate where you are in a particular problem or journey and reinforce the importance of naming where you are and accepting the feelings that come along with that.

Mindfulness and Stress

In recent years, a phenomenon that has caught the collective attention of our culture has to do with how we pay attention. Mindfulness (nonjudgmental, moment-to-moment awareness), it seems, is everywhere—from the way we meditate and manage our mental health to the way we eat and communicate.
