The Good News?
You have natural authority and powerful authentic leadership that can evolve with your life's experiences.
Celebrating this can unlock a world of possibilities: alleviating chronic stress; improving quality of life and relationships; opening the door for new opportunities, big successes, dream jobs; and more.
The Bad News?
Many professionals do not have access to the continuous personal skill building or learning environments that will help us realize our full abilities and create our next big success. We're smart and resourceful, though, so we make a go of it, like this:

The Bad News?
Many professionals do not have access to the continuous personal skill building or learning environments that will help us realize our full abilities and create our next big success. We're smart and resourceful, though, so we make a go of it, like this:
- You can learn from your current environment - such as your colleagues, organizational executives and managers, or community leaders. Many of us have learned some good - and some really bad - habits doing it this way. And it's important to know that your current environment is best at teaching you... how to stay in your current environment.
- You can learn from books, podcasts, and social media. They can give you a lot of advice and inspiration! What they miss - crucially - is having the expert by your side to help you find your blind spots and apply the best practices in those critical moments when you really need them. In whatever aspect of your work and life that your leadership skills need attention the most, we can almost guarantee you can't go there on your own.
- You can learn from another leadership program and get a certificate or something. We love leadership programs, so we say go for it! Finding what resonates with you is part of your ongoing development. If you are stuck again later, come back and find us. Because we dive in to the deeper aspects of applied leadership and sometimes confusing humanbeingness (is that a word?) that most leadership programs don't touch.
SOMETIMES WE GET STUCK
Does this sound like you?
A passionate professional, expert, manager, or executive. A high-achiever who is always looking for new ways to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and make a difference. Someone who is ready to learn and use cutting-edge knowledge and approaches for different results in your career or workplace.
If you set goals for yourself (annual performance goals, New Year's resolutions, etc.), do they excite and scare you? Do you wonder how you'll ever pull that off? No? Still setting goals based on someone else's definition of what your next step is? Or what's trending on the internet?
unclear "goals"
feeling like a "cog"
Do you wake up every day knowing that your unique brilliance is being put to the best and highest use? No? Is it more like your career has been reduced to a job title or a series of boxes on an org chart?
Do you say YES when I ask: are you in tune with your purpose, AND are you fully expressing it? No? Feel like you've lost track of your purpose, or put some of it on the back burner?
lost purpose
It doesn't have to be this way.
you are not alone
You're not alone. Every professional we've worked with has hit the skids sooner or later. Whether it's 10 years in or 40 years in -- at some point the most accomplished experts and leaders realize they've lost track of themselves inside their own success.
It's confusing. After all, you've done everything you were told: everything that would help you advance to the next opportunity. The good news is that there's nothing wrong with you or your success. It's time to pause and celebrate all you've done. But if it doesn't feel good anymore, it's also time for a new set of rules.

Who joins the Mosley Institute for Leadership?
Most of the Mosley Institute members first come to us because they are caring and hardworking professionals, managers, or executives who are looking at some kind of big transition and would like to bring in outside perspective and support.

They also have many different neurodiverse* strengths and styles (cognitive specialties) including those neurotypes who favor linear, analytical, technical, and intellectual problem solving; those with an attunement to empathy and relationships; those who experience dynamic attention (may include exploratory and interest-driven motivation, hyperfocus, and/or high sensitivity); those with a drive for independence and self-direction; and other intelligently adaptive ways of engaging with the world.

Frequently Asked Questions:
I've never hired an executive or career coach. What's it like?
Here's what to expect for your private executive coaching:
ďą… We provide reminders when it's time to schedule a call according to your membership type.
ďą… You schedule the call at your convenience with an easy online calendar system. You can add the appointment directly to your online calendar and change it later if needed. You can schedule ahead up to 3 months.
ďą… Calls are typically scheduled for 45 minutes each on Zoom video or audio. (These can vary in length depending on schedules and interest.)
ďą… On the call, we use proven, real-world techniques to evaluate your habitual reactions, determine your next best step, and then master the desired responses and skills. (We draw from the best research and practice of neuroscience and somatic psychology, relationship dynamics, influence, innovation, and more.)
ďą… You can follow up by email and with the community in between one-on-one calls as needed.
Can you help me find a new job/position?
Yes. We have helped mid-level to executive professionals make the decision to develop wonderful new opportunities. Making a career shift within an organization (promotion or new assignments) or to a new organization are possible outcomes of the kind of work we do with clients.
I am struggling with aspects of my senior/executive/board level role. Can you help me with strategy and how to better influence and lead my organization at this level?
Yes. We work concurrently with your relational skills and your business acumen. Some sessions might be spent evaluating the "pressure-cooker" dynamics of leadership at this level, others might be spent developing strategic and tactical moves to address critical needs for your organization. Whatever it is, we hone your abilities through the real situations you are facing.
I am thinking about going out on my own [or launching a non-profit]. Can you help?
Yes. We have supported clients to successfully launch new private and non-profit ventures. We do not provide business services per se, but we do provide a wealth of experience, connections, advice on pitfalls and milestones to look out for, roadmapping, business coaching, essential entrepreneurial "mindset" support, and more.
Leadership programs usually have start and end points with defined activities. What's the benefit of an open-ended membership program? How will I know if it's worth it?
Great question! We've tried many formats and found that this is the most flexible, powerful, and puts you in the position to decide. That might sound overwhelming at first, but tuning in to your leadership growth needs is what we are here to do!
Some program members have worked with us for short sprints to get the boost they need, some have worked with us for years. It's not unusual for a member to pause for a while and come back again months or years later! We have no preference and no interest in selling you on something that isn't going to work. We tune into what is best for you.
What are the community events? Can you provide additional information?
Recent topics offered for group events have included:
Topics are selected based on group interest. Sometimes we pick up on topics or themes that are coming up in the one-on-one coaching calls and bring them into a group call.
I saw that you are trained in Somatic Experiencing®️. Can I get an SE™️ session?
Yes! Erin (Pink) Mosley is a member of Somatic Experiencing International. All of her coaching and teaching is infused with her expertise in many related somatic approaches, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions. She will attune to your needs and requests to find what is right for you. (Please note she is not licensed as a therapist or health professional. She will happily connect you with excellent colleagues should you want to explore an aspect of therapy or coaching that's not within her scope of practice.)
Can you share more about your experience with neurodiversity?
Yes!
First, you'll note that we don't use much diagnostic or clinical terminology here on this site. That's mostly because we don't frame the purpose and outcomes of our coaching and leadership development work in terms of pathology, disorders, or disabilities. We do take a keen interest in the rapidly evolving understanding of neurotypes and behaviors from all angles: genetic, anatomical, developmental, adaptive, etc. and we bring that into all of our work with clients.
Second, we have worked very successfully in a professional coaching capacity with many adaptive and hereditary types. Sometimes clients have a diagnosis and are working with specialists; sometimes not.
If you would like to ask a question about our work with neurodiversity in diagnostic terms (e.g., "How do you work with [ ASD / ADHD / PDA / anxiety / bipolar / other developmental, trauma, and mood disorders ]?"), please contact us and we will be happy to share more.
Just remember that we do not provide medical care or social work; we do not take insurance; and we do limit our programs to those within a certain range of resilience, ready to willingly engage in coaching. And we are always happy to suggest different or additional resources as needed!
Third, our knowledge of neurodiversity is also one of many ways we help to reframe situations with our clients. For example, the emotional charge a client is experiencing around an interpersonal challenge or conflict can sometimes be reduced if we add in a more nuanced view of how different learning, processing, and communication styles might be contributing to misunderstandings.
Executive Coaching is expensive. How can I afford to join the Mosley Institute?
We offer four different memberships so that you can choose the best way to invest in executive coaching. The four memberships are based on how many one-on-one calls you would like with Erin (Pink) Mosley and on what kind of schedule.
Mosley Institute library resources and group events are available to all members regardless of which membership you choose.
The memberships have been created based on the results we see from clients. Once you make the commitment, we'll begin immediately to work on your desired outcomes: financial, quality of life, societal impact, or whatever else brings you here.
Some clients partner with their company to support the investment in executive-style coaching. We are happy to discuss these options further and help make it happen!
