2025–2030
AI, hybrid models, and multigenerational teams are accelerating change more rapidly than ever in human civilizations.
But people still leave workplaces because of culture, not strategy.
Leaders who know how they are processing and responding to stressors related to differences, conflicts, and accountability lead calmer teams, retain top talent, and align strategic priorities faster.
The IPP captures that in minutes.
WHAT THE IPP IDENTIFIES
After the 8-question survey, you’ll see your current patterns for how you process and make decisions. Examine what introspective practices make sense for you; right now through your current stress-response patterns.
Analyzer | Evidence-Centered Leader
You seek clarity, context, and data before moving. You stabilize teams. Your growth edge: moving from analysis to action in cross-cultural moments.
Catalyst | Momentum-Centered Leader
You move energy forward and embrace change. You unstick teams. Your growth edge: pacing, listening, and honoring cultural/relational dynamics while moving fast.
Connector | People-Centered Leader
You build trust, belonging, and psychological safety. You help people talk across differences. Your growth edge: holding clear accountability without losing rapport.
All responses are secure and de-identified. We study aggregate patterns to map how educators, higher ed professionals, and executives are navigating culture and change. Our trusted data "warehouse" partner for 8+ years has been Jotform.
Take the secure 8-question IPP and see whether you’re currently responding to stressors (like emotions 🙂☹️🤨😅😘 and stress) in your life with the leadership energy of:
Analyzer (Evidence-Centered Leader)
Catalyst (Momentum-Centered Leader)
Connector (People-Centered Leader)

This isn't just theory for me.
Introspective practices have been my lifeline.
I know, I know… you’ve heard it all before. “Just meditate more. Go on a retreat. Drink more water. Organize your planner.”
Cute. But can I be real? If another checklist could save us from burnout, we’d ALL be thriving by now.
The truth? What you’re craving isn’t another hack.
It’s a pause.
A moment to actually hear yourself think.
We live in a culture of noise, burnout, and constant reaction.
Without intentional space for reflection, we lose touch with:
our inner compass,
our emotional balance, and
the ability to create from purpose rather than pressure.
And honestly? That disconnection sneaks into everything: how we show up for work, how we love, even how we talk to ourselves in the mirror.
That’s why I created the Introspective Practices Profile™ after practicing, leading, and researching change management + cultural transformation in organizations the past 20 years of my career.
If anything? Take a couple minutes to reconnect with your authentic self and carry that presence into your leadership, relationships, and creative work moving forward.
My intention: Design a life rhythm that’s easier, healthier, and wealthier, rooted in self-trust.

Let me be 100% real … this not just theory for me. These practices have been my lifeline the past 10 years of my life.
Some practices I share? Since childhood traumas.
I’ve had my fair share of “meltdown-in-the-parking-lot” moments, the “is this really my life?” spirals, and those seasons where stress was basically my side hustle. (Can you relate? 😅)
What changed everything wasn’t another productivity app, vacation/retreat, leadership seminar, or green smoothie (though, yes, I still love my smoothies and all of these things! They are a huge part of my journey thus far).
AND.
What really ignited transformational change in my own leadership journey has been learning to turn inward and sit with MYSELF.... daily, intentionally, unapologetically.
That’s why this self-reflection survey and aligned resource guide isn’t just a professional framework; it’s a deeply personal invitation. I’ve used these same introspective practices to:
🧬 recalibrate after burnout,
🔆 rediscover joy in the everyday after losing my mother tragically 3 years ago, and
👩🏻🏫 lead with more calm, courage, and clarity.
And here’s the truth: if they worked for me? A recovering perfectionist, overachiever, and all-around “do all the things” human? Then I know they’ll work for you too.
So...
Yes, you’re getting cultural psychology, self-awareness, research, and neuroscience.
Yes, you’re getting tools I’ve taught to Fortune 500 Executives and K12 Superintendents.
But you’re also getting the exact practices I’ve used to reset my own messy, beautiful, sometimes chaotic-feeling, purpose-driven life.
To your journey and mine!
For such a time as this.
much love,
Justine
