The Inside Academy teaches Leadership from the inside out. We recognise that the relationship between the workforce and their workplace is changing, calling for a more intimate approach to leadership development that meets the needs of both employers and employees in a world of constant growth and innovation.
Through workshops and executive coaching, our signature leadership framework takes leaders on an inner-journey to gain clarity, build courage, and act with confidence.
Our mission is to nurture leaders from the inside out: building their awareness, capacity and know-how to bring innovation and leadership to themselves, their teams and organizations.
Through a lifetime and career, there will be many occasions where there is the calling or readiness to upskill leadership and innovation capacity. For these moments, The Inside Academy offers programs for leaders at three different stages of leadership development: self leadership, team leadership and company leadership.
A message from our founder:
Hi I'm Alexandra Kinloch. I founded The Inside Academy because I was like many of my clients five years ago: ambitious, goal-oriented, yet unhappy, restless and burnt out. I quit my corporate job to become an entrepreneur and pursue the life that I thought I truly wanted.
It all started with a business idea: a video app that would provide users a better experience on their smartphone. What was initially a project for my Innovation & Entrepreneurship Masters assignment became a real adventure: I met a business partner, won competitions and awards to fund the company and traveled the world while running a successful business.
Along this journey, I met startup owners and ambitious leaders who seemed to be living their dream on the outside, but were completely lost in reality. Interacting with people who didn’t understand what they were doing and why they were doing it made me question my own “success.”
For years, I spent my energy trying to prove myself instead of being who I really am: someone who sees the best in people and wants them to reach their full potential. I finally realized that using my true gift would bring something new to the equation…and The Inside Academy was born.
My journey in the startup rollercoaster gives me a unique perspective on what leaders need to be balanced, productive, and happy individuals. Unlike many other coaches and entrepreneurs, I live what I teach. I believe that pursuing your true purpose doesn’t just make you a better person, it can make the world a better place. It starts with you!
Our mission:
To inspire one million leaders to thrive personally and professionally and leave the world a better place.
