A NOTE FROM BILLY…

Dear Friends, 

I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you, and to introduce InnerShift, an organization that stands at the forefront of personal and professional development. InnerShift exists because the complexities of navigating work and life have never been clearer. Our news feeds are inundated with articles about “quiet quitting,” the “Great Resignation,” and the growing challenges for recruiting and retaining skilled employees. Additionally, building inclusive and welcoming workplaces and communities where people feel a deep sense of belonging is incredibly complex work, and it’s never been more urgently needed.

At InnerShift, we are deeply committed to making this work easier by fostering growth, honing leadership skills, nurturing holistic well-being, and championing diversity and inclusion. Our mission is to provide the support needed to build healthier communities and organizations and is driven by a profound belief in the transformative power that lies within each individual. We ground our work in the belief that success isn’t solely defined by professional accomplishments but also by one's ability to navigate challenges, adapt to change, and foster a culture of inclusivity and resilience. 

We pride ourselves on offering innovative programs and tailored approaches that serve as catalysts for personal and collective growth. Whether through transformative workshops, intensive cohort learning programs, book discussion groups, one-on-one coaching, and ongoing consultation, InnerShift endeavors to empower individuals and teams to not just succeed but thrive. 

Our approach at InnerShift is rooted in the understanding that true growth occurs when we look inward and examine issues of identity and power. We are committed to creating spaces where differences are celebrated, divergent experiences are valued, and inclusivity is woven into the fabric of everything we do. We believe that when we foster an environment that embraces diversity, we unlock the full potential of individuals and teams, driving innovation and healthy collaboration. 

As the founder of InnerShift, it is my utmost privilege to invite you to join us on this transformative journey, where we work together to develop the skills, mindset, and support needed to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of life and work. I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and look forward to witnessing the incredible transformations and connections that will undoubtedly unfold within our community. 

Warm regards, 

Billy Korinko, Ph.D. 

Founder & President, InnerShift
