Hi to everyone exploring the space where inner work meets impact,
many of us feel the deep potential of the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) โ not just as a framework, but as a path to more conscious leadership and meaningful change.
But we also know it can feel challenging to talk about IDGs with clients, especially when theyโre under pressure, facing real-world problems, and not necessarily asking for "inner development."
The truth?
One of the biggest hurdles is simply this: ๐๐จ๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ.
So when it comes to bringing the IDGs into real conversations with clients or colleagues, one big question often stops us in our tracks:
โ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ?โ
๐ก This is exactly the question we need to lean into โ with empathy, clarity, and courage.
โจAs Sarah stated in her latest post, we are preparing a ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ where weโll explore how to speak about the IDGs in ways that truly connect to the clientโs world โ especially their most pressing pain points. But we want to build this with you โ not for you.

- What are some real challenges youโve heard from clients (or your organization)?
- Where do you sense the IDGs could offer support or shift something meaningful?
You donโt need the โperfectโ answer. Just your honest experience or intuition.
We grow this community by showing up. Bit by bit. Word by word.
Letโs gently break the silence here โ and begin building something meaningful together.
I am going to start the conversation with my first thoughts in the comments.
With care,
