Why Traditional Coaching Models Are Failing (And What Comes Next)

Although I have been a mentor my whole life, I dreamt of becoming a coach ever since studying it in my PhD program. However, I was often told I was too young for the field.

As my gray hairs began appearing more generously a couple of years before the pandemic, I started feeling like I was finally "seasoned enough" to coach others.

Initially, executive coaching seemed like the most sensical path, but as I delved deeper into leadership coaching—first at IBM and later at Deloitte—I noticed a fundamental discrepancy between my definition of leadership and the one being taught.

The biggest struggle I saw among the leaders I coached was a lack of balance, which ultimately translated into a lack of life outside of work.

During my 10-year corporate career, I was deeply engaged in my life beyond work.

I trained for and ran half-marathons, dated generously, explored all 50 states and dozens of countries, and dared to try nearly every adrenaline-fueled activity that might be on your bucket list.

By the time I completed my coaching certification with Coaching Evolved, an ICF-certified yet holistic approach to coaching, the work-centric model of leadership had lost its appeal.

I wanted to help my clients be more present in all aspects of their lives, not just their careers. This realization became the seedling of what would later grow into Queen Mindset Leadership™.

The Entrepreneurial Leap

When I took the leap into entrepreneurship, I knew very little about building a business.

I had taken a few accelerator courses that taught me how to start and land my first clients, but they didn't provide the blueprint for building a sustainable business or defining a niche that felt both timeless and effective.

The past two years have been a masterclass in market research, existing within others' containers, observing their external marketing strategies, and studying their internal operations.

Having spent a decade in corporate environments, I had developed the skill set to critically examine both the coaching and spiritual industries.

I deconstructed what drove them—their promises, their frameworks, and their gaps. This exploration made it clear to me not only how Queen Mindset Leadership™ was different but also why its very existence was disruptive to these spaces.

How Queen Mindset Leadership™ Disrupts the Coaching Industry

Rejecting the Linear, Commercialized Model of Success

• The coaching industry often prioritizes linear success metrics—scalability, profit margins, and high-ticket offers—without soul.
• Queen Mindset Leadership™ redefines success through Creative Sovereignty, encouraging wealth generation from authentic alignment rather than extractive sales tactics. 

Integrating Identity and Energetic Alignment

• Many coaching models ignore the complexities of identity, offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
• Queen Mindset Leadership™ acknowledges that wealth and leadership are deeply intertwined with personal, cultural, and energetic realities, ensuring an approach that honors individuality. 

Decentralizing Authority and Embracing Co-Creation

• Traditional coaching often places the coach as the central authority, creating dependency.
• Queen Mindset Leadership™ empowers individuals to step into their own sovereignty, with the coach serving as a guide and mirror rather than a gatekeeper of success.

Tapping into Universal Energy & Dark Matter

• Rather than relying solely on psychological models, Queen Mindset Leadership™ integrates cosmic principles, energy work, and creative embodiment, teaching clients to navigate their creative chaos and transform it into power and tangible success.

Redefining Wealth & Value Creation

• Many coaches preach manifestation without addressing the inner work required to sustain wealth.
• Queen Mindset Leadership™ treats wealth as a byproduct of creative expression, aligned energy, and ethical stewardship rather than something to chase.

Sustainable Evolution & Integration

1. Unlike rigid blueprints, Queen Mindset Leadership™ offers an evolving framework that grows with the client, ensuring authentic and sustainable success rather than fleeting achievements.

A Radical Alternative to Industry Norms

• Beyond AI-Generated Content: Queen Mindset Leadership™ is rooted in creativity as a living force, centering authenticity over optimization. It prioritizes energetic frequency, embodiment, and lived wisdom over efficiency.
• Alternative to the Coaching-MLM Economy: Unlike models that rely on manipulative sales tactics, Queen Mindset Leadership™ fosters ethical leadership and empowerment, guiding clients to reclaim their power rather than funneling them through a formulaic process.
• Beyond the Influencer Economy: Instead of selling wealth as an aesthetic, Queen Mindset Leadership™ promotes holistic abundance—spiritual, emotional, and financial. It creates a community of co-creators, prioritizing impact over image.
• Breaking the Corporate Leadership Mold: Traditional leadership development often lacks personal integration. Queen Mindset Leadership™ emphasizes self-examination, sovereignty, and deep alignment, ensuring that leaders thrive holistically, not just professionally. 

A Call to Reclaim, Rise, and Reign

Queen Mindset Leadership™ is not just another coaching model or framework.

It challenges the paradigms that keep people stuck in work-centric, scarcity-driven mindsets. It redefines leadership as an integrated, sovereign journey rather than a title or career milestone. 

It disrupts every model I mentioned by prioritizing:

1. True Embodiment over Performance.
2. Deep Fulfillment over Superficial Success.
3. Aligned Creation over Formulaic Replication.

The magic of what I've been creating in community is rooted in the truth that leadership and creativity are inseparable. It’s not about avoiding the pain or the darkness; it’s about reclaiming your voice, your inherent power, and your right to create from a place of freedom and integrity. 

It calls on individuals to reclaim their creative power, rise in alignment with their highest self, and reign in a way that fosters wealth, freedom, and fulfillment in all areas of life.

This is not just coaching. This is an awakening. Join my newsletter for this and more.
