We have worked with

Leadership Development Built for the Moments That Matter Most

Elite Coaching Bench

More than 20 ICF-credentialed coaches and practitioners with backgrounds in executive leadership, wellness, education, military, intelligence, and federal law enforcement.

Nervous System + Leadership

Our methodology is informed by neuroscience and trauma awareness, emphasizing a whole person approach that incorporates mindset, physiology, behavior, and leadership, promoting sustainable change and effectiveness.

Applied Leadership Experiences

We offer seamless integration of coaching, facilitation, and training, providing clients with a comprehensive approach to leadership development that fosters growth and performance improvement.

Most leadership training never addresses what is actually breaking leaders. 

Traditional leadership programs focus on behavior.

We focus on the human operating system underneath the behavior.

The Lion’s Garden Group develops leaders who can think clearly under pressure, communicate decisively, regulate stress responses, and lead without carrying the entire weight of the organization alone.

  • Your leaders are carrying too much for too long
  • High performers are making decisions under constant pressure
  • Burnout is increasing while clarity decreases
  • Teams need leaders who can regulate, communicate, and execute in uncertainty
  • Technical skill alone no longer sustains leadership effectiveness

Let's get connected

6-Month Coaching Engagement

This is where the real shift happens. Six months of focused, one-on-one coaching built around your patterns, your pressure points, and the way you lead when no one is watching. With over 20 credentialed practitioners to choose from, you work with the right fit for who you are and what you do. We work online or in person. We go deep. By the time we're done, you will not be operating the same way you were when we started.

12-Month Coaching Engagement

For the leader who is ready to do the work all the way through. Twelve months of coaching that moves beyond awareness into lasting change at the identity level. With over 20 credentialed practitioners to choose from, you work with the right fit for who you are and what you do. We are rewiring the baseline you operate from. Available online or in person, with the option to travel to you.

Group Coaching

The same methodology. A shared container. Group coaching brings together high performers who are ready to do the work alongside others who get it. With over 20 credentialed practitioners to choose from, your cohort is led by someone who knows your world. Small cohorts, a structured process, and real accountability that creates real results.

A word from our clients.

Annie is an absolutely incredible coach.

I’d never tried coaching before working with her, and she immediately put me at ease with her warmth and approachable style. As a therapist, I’m rarely surprised by others’ approaches to reflection and goal-setting, but Annie consistently asks thoughtful questions and offers meaningful suggestions that feel fresh and insightful. Her guidance helped me push beyond my comfort zone, launch new projects, and land a dream job I hadn’t even considered. I’d give her 10/10!! Thank you, Annie

LAURA PRADSO, PsyD
Clear Path Counseling

Working with Annie since April has been transformative for both me and my business.

Through a combination of 1:1 and group coaching, Annie has empowered me to raise my prices with confidence and tackle challenges without the anxiety that used to hold me back. Her unique approach helps me uncover solutions from within, guiding me to trust my instincts and experience. Annie’s coaching is not just about business strategies—it’s about personal growth and becoming the kind of small business owner who uses life’s challenges as a superpower. I’m grateful for her support and can’t recommend her enough!
