About
We build the personal readiness that performance is built on
InnerWork Circle sits at the intersection of human performance, executive and leadership development, operations and systems thinking — with 14 years of real-world experience and data.
Where it began
The inspiration to start InnerWork Circle came from a deeply personal place — estranged relationships with family. We witnessed the relentless business professional narrative firsthand: push through, rest is for the weak, invest in yourself later, results first. This was their badge of honor. Sadly, neither of their fathers experienced a well-deserved retirement. We knew there had to be a better way.
What we learned
Quickly, we realized this wasn't just about health and wellness. Sick people underperform and improved well-being is a valuable outcome — but you can be healthy and well and still not perform at your best, and even suck the energy from others. So, 14 years ago, we started driving Sustainable High Human Performance and Personal Readiness.
Why it matters now
In times of rapid acceleration, uncertainty, poly crises and new intelligence, our data is clear: professionals struggle. More mentally and emotionally exhausted and less curious, more distracted and less focused, more fragile and less agile. We don't want to accept that. Our passion is to help professionals change it.
