Mindset Matters.
Each of your stakeholders holds the key to their own power within. It’s possible to forget this, especially during times of challenge, disruption, and change. How can we realize our own internal power both personally and professionally, as individuals and as an organization, no matter the constraints in the external world? And, how can we create a culture where everyone feels valued and can show up as their full selves, by first making sure they are Internally Referenced, and inherently and unconditionally value themselves and source their power from within?
We can help develop your team using the 6 Principles of Internally Referenced Leadership.™
Andrea Kayne works with education, government, not for profit, corporate, and technology leaders and organizations to assist them in maximizing their efficacy, improving their efficiency, enhancing their impact, and creating a truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture (DEI), in spite of limiting constraints, diminishing resources, overwhelmed systems, and outmoded paradigms.
Redefining Workplace Inclusion and Success: An Internally Referenced Approach
Now that the line between work and home has been erased completely for many people, it’s not surprising that it’s been a time to redefine, pivot, and make sure that the mission of their company is aligned with their personal values.
“The great reset” that’s occurring in the wake of the pandemic has resulted in a period of reflection about what is important, and as you know, what we expect out of work and our work lives is top of mind. We have an opportunity to reinvent work and workplace culture.
Connection, when more people are working remotely, or hybridly, is more important than ever, and staying connected and productive is key. Being in flow and able to accomplish deep work is proven to keep people happier and more satisfied in their work.
What We Can Do for Your Organization
We operationalize these themes with research-based exercises and strategies as well as case studies from a multitude of relevant sectors. We also provide Toolkits that can be used on an ongoing basis. We offer organizational and individual seminars, presentations, retreats, and consulting services in the following areas (and we work with organizations to customize what they need).

Pragmatic Resilience is a subject that resonates deeply with our Campowerment “campers”, and Andrea’s interactive workshop really hit home for our people. Great program!

We were honored to have Professor Andrea Kayne present her Internally Referenced Leadership program for our legal team’s I&D Speaker Series. As an attorney herself (in addition to being a professor of leadership and author), her session was full of engaging questions and relevant and easy to adopt tools to help our team foster leadership skills in all areas of our lives, no matter what chaos we are facing in the external world. Her program was also full of targeted and useful guidance on ensuring we continue to cultivate a culture where everyone feels valued can show up as their true self. I highly recommend her workshop and book as part of any leadership, development or I&D program.
