What is Authentic Leadership?
Are you tired of trying to be the Hero?
The landscape of leadership is changing. It used to be that to demonstrate leadership you had to prove that you were capable and strong, that you could push through and get things done, break through walls, slay dragons, and take no prisoners. You were the “Hero” in this leadership story, that pushed for profits and progress, and you weren’t going to let anything get in the way, least of all Fear. This old model of leadership is what we refer to as “Heroic Leadership.” And it has taken us far in this world. But we believe it’s limited.
The times they are a-changin’
Heroic Leadership has, in fact, been behind real innovation, growth, and unprecedented profits – all positive outcomes in a traditional capitalistic, corporate setting. But something has been lost in that paradigm – us. We the people. This trajectory, while having gotten us this far, is no longer sufficient to take us to the next level. No longer is society as ok with profit at the expense of people or the planet. And a new leadership is required to meet the demands of a shifting consciousness on the planet, and an evolving corporate culture.
Fear
When a corporate culture focuses primarily on profits, it’s easier to ignore the humanity of the people who make up the corporation, and treat them like robots or lemmings, whose sole purpose is to serve the profit-making corporation and their shareholders. And we lose sight of the actual humanity. Shifting towards incorporating that means we have to tackle the elephant in the room that lies within us all that no one wants to talk about – Fear. In the land of Heroic Leadership, fear = weakness. And therefore the Heroic Leader does everything in their power to push fear away, pretend its not there, suppress it, conquer it, stuff it, and shame themselves or anyone else who is expressing it. That’s Heroic Leadership. And the old model of corporate culture. Heroic Leaders hide behind another name for fear…Stress. In corporate America, we’re allowed to be stressed…but we’re not allowed to be afraid.
Stress = Fear
But biologically in our bodies, Stress is the same as Fear.

Meet Your Trainers
Both trainers have been pioneers in the field of Authentic Leadership and Conscious Business for a combined 30 years of experience and dedication to their craft.
Brian Whetten, Ph.D.
By the age of 30, Brian had earned a Berkeley Ph.D. in computer science, raised $20 million for two Silicon Valley startups, been part of a $400 million IPO – and burned out twice. After an emotional and spiritual crisis, he left his career to pursue six years of full-time personal growth work, including earning a M.A. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Brian is the author of the #1 International Amazon Best Seller, Yes Yes Hell No!, and he writes a regular column for the Huffington Post. With diverse appearances ranging from NBC to MIT, he is considered one of the foremost experts in the fields of authentic leadership and conscious business.
Nicole Whetten, M.A.
As an intuitive, Nicole has an uncanny ability to understand people, often deeper than they understand themselves. She is able to deeply connect with people’s gifts, blocks, path and purpose. She couples this with a Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology and over twelve years of experience as a master coach and facilitator. Nicole has worked with and held space for a wide range of leaders, including studio heads, star athletes, senior executives and prominent entrepreneurs.
I'm in awe, reflecting back over the past months of working with Brian. He brings together a remarkably rich set of skills as a coach. Our work together has been very powerful, allowing me to see clearly to the core of business issues and interpersonal dynamics ... and then to develop the tools and know-how to effectively manage even the most challenging situations.

Co-Founder, CEO
Yes Yes Hell No! is one of the most simple and powerful technologies I’ve ever seen, from one of the great coaches and leaders in the field.
Jack Canfield
500 Million Copy Best Selling Author
Without the work we did with Core Coaching, our company probably would have gone bankrupt. Instead, we’re thriving, I can’t believe how much I’ve grown as a leader and I'm loving my life.
Jennifer T.
CEO
After investing millions on training programs for our teams, we thought we knew how to train leaders. But from the very first week of our work together, Dr. Whetten took our leadership development programs to an entirely new level.
Michael R.
CEO
Brian Whetten is by far the best that I’ve ever seen in the area of selling. I’ve never been impacted, especially in the realm of sales, by a speech in this way.
Sean S.
CEO
I spent years on my own, trying to figure out how to ‘do’ leadership. Working with Nicole changed that for me forever. She truly ‘gets’ me - better than almost anyone I’ve ever met. Thanks to her, I’m now much more effective and powerful as a leader – and much less stressed.
