Hi, I’m Laurel Elders, founder and CEO of the Institute of Integrative Intelligence.
Leaders hold a special place in my heart, especially in today’s ever-shifting, high-pressure world. Years ago, I hit a breaking point when years of chronic stress and 60+ hour work weeks led to an ulcer. I loved being a leader, but I knew I couldn’t sustain the toll it was taking on my health and family life.
That moment pushed me to leave a career I loved as a Director and step into the world of professional coaching—a decision that transformed not only my career but also my understanding of leadership.
Burnout showed me I wasn’t alone--many leaders feel the weight of high-stakes responsibilities, leaving them drained and disconnected. But I discovered something game-changing: leaders who embrace coaching as their personal leadership philosophy unlock a new way to lead—one that cultivates resilience, connection, and meaningful impact without the burnout.
Today, I refuse to lead any other way. Period. Coaching has transformed who I am as a leader, creating space for inspiring, self-motivated team productivity and a sense of flow I once assumed was impossible. Leadership no longer feels like burning a candle at both ends—it feels like an opportunity to thrive while empowering others to do the same.

Coaching: A Critical Skillset Of The Future
As a leader, our impact is a profound responsibility. Our impact can tip either way—positive or negative. For leaders who care deeply about their influence, it’s essential to adopt strategies that ensure a positive trajectory. Coaching provides a powerful toolkit, helping leaders move beyond a “one-size-fits-all” approach to one that empowers and uplifts.
Coaching amplifies transformational leadership by shifting from directing others to fostering personal ownership and growth. It’s not about telling people what to do but inviting them to discover their best path forward. An education in coaching doesn’t just enhance leadership—it broadens it.
