Take your business to new heights,without crushing your team in the process.
I help stressed-out leaders experience a powerful Inside-Out™ transformation that leads to breakthrough team results and a more enjoyable workplace.
Trusted by executives of Fortune 500 companies, including:
When leaders are overstressed, everyone feels it.
As an executive, you face the dual challenge of driving results while demonstrating authentic care.
Though it seems impossible, the reality is, if you can’t find a way to do both, the cost will escalate:
Higher turnover
Diminishing business performance
Lower team morale and engagement
A decline in your personal health
Deteriorating relationships
I understand the weight of leadership can be tough.
But stress doesn’t have to dictate your leadership style.
At your level of leadership, your team doesn’t need more training–they need the best version of you.
The team doesn’t need more mandates, goals, or performance plans.
You don’t need more delegation tactics or to hire more talent.
Nobody needs more consulting or generic leadership training.
These solutions may work for a short time, but they don’t create lasting change.
Instead, to become the leader who drives sustainable change while energizing your team, you can transform from the Inside-Out™.

Hi, I’m Michael Perkins, inventor of Inside-Out™ Transformation and the LION Experience.
I understand the struggle of integrating high performance with care and concern for your people.
That’s why I work with executive leaders who want to take their business to new heights, while simultaneously elevating their entire team.
The neuroscience-based coaching that I’ve honed over the past 25+ years enables executives to become the best version of themselves and equip people around them to do the same.
I’ve seen it work for hundreds of executives who transformed their organization from the inside out, including senior leaders from JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and many more.
The Inside-Out™ transformation truly changes leaders and their organizations from the inside out.

Why the LION assessment is so powerful:
Self-awareness and interpersonal skills are the strongest predictors of executive leadership success
THE SCIENCE BEHIND SELF-AWARENESS
According to this study conducted by Green Peak Partners, self-awareness is the strongest predictor of success.
”The study explored the leadership styles, backgrounds and track records of 72 senior executives across 31 companies (half of them with C-level or President titles) at public, venture-backed, and private-equity sponsored companies. The researchers found that harsh, hard-driving, “results-at-all-costs” executives actually diminish the bottom line, while self-aware leaders with strong interpersonal skills deliver better financial performance.” (via American Management Association)
HOW SELF-AWARE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
While most people think they are already self-aware, another study reveals that only 10-15% of people actually demonstrate self-awareness.
By taking the first step with the LION experience, you’re already setting yourself apart from most leaders.
