CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH




AN INVITATION TO BRING YOUR AUTHENTIC PRESENCE, CREATIVE MIND, AND GREATEST
HUMAN CAPACITIES TO WORK

The old ways of work are crumbling. People want to be part of organizations that
stand for a purpose and value well-being, where their individual expression–and
dare I say “soul force”–is welcome. The time has come when many people are
unwilling to compromise their values for a paycheck. And rightly so. 

There are big questions before us today: How do we cultivate our own inner
stability and vision? To what degree can we do this in corporate environments
that we ourselves do not control? When it comes to the successful companies of
the future, what will their organizational cultures be like? And who will lead
them or serve as mentors?

The answer to this last question is easy: People like you. People who care. 

People who want to live on purpose and are willing to do the inner work to
re-imagine and reinvent how we live and work. Doing that, however, is not easy… 


THESE ARE NOT “SOFT SKILLS." THEY ARE SOME OF THE HARDEST SKILLS TO MASTER AND
ARE NOT TAUGHT IN COLLEGE OR BUSINESS SCHOOL.

With training and commitment, we can learn to become proactively aware of our
thoughts and emotions, instead of always being reactively driven by them. We can
learn how to regulate our nervous system such that we feel grounded, capable,
and solution-oriented, even in the face of very challenging situations. We can
learn to do hard things in a way that both honors our humanity and keeps our
integrity intact. This includes having courageous conversations, giving and
receiving constructive feedback, and moving through difficult times of
transition with authenticity and composure.  

With the Inner MBA® program, you now have access to some of the world’s leading
conscious CEOs, expert faculty, and wisdom teachers who have already experienced
success in the new purpose-driven paradigm of work, people who are willing to
share what they know and illuminate the path for others.

Never before has such a talented and diverse faculty come together with this
singular goal in mind.

When you enroll in the Inner MBA® program, you’ll also join a community of
people just like you, who are right in the midst of this “sea change” and are
eager to collaborate and problem solve to navigate the challenges we each face. 

Whether you are an entrepreneur, an executive, a coach, or a consultant, the
Inner MBA® program is an opportunity for you to grow yourself so you can grow
your work in the world and bring forward your innate gifts in more and more
powerful ways. 

I believe that success in the future will be defined by the depth of connection
we feel to meaningful work and the people we do it with. Self-awareness,
creative vision, and collaboration skills will not be “nice to have”; they will
be imperatives. 

If growing in this way calls to you, please come join us for our next cohort of
the Inner MBA® program.

We welcome you, fellow traveler and creative business change-maker, with open
arms!

With love on the journey, 



TAMI SIMON,
Founder of Sounds True

Module 2 The Art of Self-Management

We spend a lot of time in business learning how to manage other people. But what
about managing ourselves? Self-management skills can be learned by anyone who
puts in the time. They help you stay composed, centered, and on purpose, while
reducing conflict and misdirected energy. We’ll explore this topic from a
mindfulness perspective, as well as the latest findings in neuroscience and how
the brain reacts to stress.

Module 3 Increasing Emotional Intelligence at Work

For many cutting-edge companies, EQ is becoming more important than IQ. This
challenges the decades-old belief system that tells us to leave our emotions at
home. Instead, we’re invited to explore emotions effectively in a work context.
The many benefits of emotional intelligence at work include faster conflict
resolution and more inclusive and empathetic discussions where everybody feels
heard. This naturally leads to more cooperative, creative, and productive teams.
Here, we will start to employ strategies and tools to amplify our capacity for
emotional intelligence.

In order to stay authentically connected with people at work, we need to develop
the skill of engaging in difficult conversations. While uncomfortable, having
difficult conversations in a skillful way releases pent-up energy in teams and
create clarity, ease, flow, and genuine connection at work. Learning how to
prepare for and deliver difficult information with skill and grace is one of the
hallmarks of a conscious leader.

our teams. Here, we discover our own collaborative style in pursuit of building
cultures of collaboration and kindness. This module truly holds the keys to the

Module 6 The Power of Inclusion and Diversity in Building Exceptional Teams

Empowering conversation and action to activate inclusion and invite diversity,
building teams that reflect the values of our organizations, and acknowledging
differences in perspective, history, culture, and socioeconomics requires
awareness of the complexities of bias, racism, resistance to change, and the
importance of self-awareness and care as we engage with others across what
sometimes seems a great divide. The lessons here invite discourse and pursue a
human approach to healing what separates us.

and the changes you feel inspired to make in your work and life. We will also
explore what it means for you to graduate as a transformational leader—someone
who brings out the best in others and your organization.

“In my 15 years of leadership, I thought that my EQ (emotional intelligence) did
me well, and it did. But what the Inner MBA helped me see is an awareness level
beyond just the EQ with others, but also with myself. I am beyond impressed with
the quality of the faculty. This is the best leadership program I have ever
participated in.”

I don’t live in the United States. Can I still apply?

Yes! As the Inner MBA program is 100% virtual, we welcome English-speaking
students from around the world. To view a map of the 90 countries our past and
present students call home, go here.

Part of the Inner MBA curriculum includes live sessions with our elite faculty
of business leaders, spiritual teachers, and Ivy League professors. You can
attend these sessions live, or you can access the recordings we will make
available in your Inner MBA members area.

You’ll also meet with a small group of peers once per month, held at a time your
group mutually agrees upon. As community is an integral part of the program, you
will be required to attend this session live in order to earn your Certificate
of Completion when the program ends.

A good portion of our live sessions take place at times of day that make it
easier for our international participants to attend.

When does the program start and end?

The Inner MBA is a 9-month program, and enrollment opens just once each year.
The next program starts on September 28, 2024, and ends on May 17, 2025.

What’s the schedule like? Can I go at my own pace?

We understand that life can get busy, plus we have students in different time
zones across the United States and the world. This is why we’ve designed the
Inner MBA program to include both self-paced and live components.

The program consists of nine modules—you and your fellow students will focus on
one module per month for the nine-month duration of the program.

Each module contains video teachings, exercises and practices, and reading
course materials that you can go through at your own pace. You’ll also have the
opportunity to take deep dives into specific content areas that might interest
or support you.

Plus be able to connect, network, and collaborate in the Inner MBA community
forum throughout the program at times that work best for your schedule.

There will also be several live sessions each month with the Inner MBA faculty
that we recommend attending live if you can, so that you can participate in the
live Q&A portion of the sessions. (If you can’t make the live sessions, you can
always access the recordings later on inside your Inner MBA members area.)

What’s the time commitment like? How many hours a week?

We estimate you’ll spend one or two hours per week watching video teachings,
participating in live Q&As, engaging in exercises and practices, and reading
course materials.

And if you want to go deeper, there will be optional reading material and
exercises offered for those seeking further resources and deeper learning.

What is the nature of the work? Do I have to turn in assignments?

You will not be required to submit assignments for “grading,” as you would in a
traditional educational setting.

To receive your Certificate of Completion, you must complete all nine modules,
which includes viewing all streaming content and attending the live sessions
with the faculty (or, if you aren’t able to attend live, watching the
recordings), within a few months of the program end date (May 17, 2025).

you’ve paid will be promptly refunded to you. No refunds will be issued after
this date.
