Recognize Who You've Become.
Helping accomplished leaders discover who they've become so they can decide, lead, and live with greater alignment.
Start HereWhy Identity Comes First
Most leadership development begins with the question, “What’s next?”
We begin with a different question.
Who have you become?
Success changes us. Experiences shape us. Leadership refines us. Yet many accomplished leaders continue to make decisions based on identities that no longer reflect who they are today.
Lasting clarity doesn’t come from becoming someone new. It comes from recognizing what has already changed.
That’s where meaningful leadership begins.
Our Approach
Transformation isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about recognizing who you’ve become, letting go of what no longer fits, and leading with greater clarity, confidence, and alignment.
Through coaching, leadership development, and guided reflection, we create the conditions for leaders to recognize who they’ve become. When that awareness becomes ownership, different decisions follow—and lasting transformation begins.

About S. Renee
S. Renee didn’t arrive at this work from the outside looking in. During one of the most difficult seasons of her life, she lost her job, her engagement ended, and she found herself rebuilding more than her career. In that season, she stopped asking, “What’s next?” and began asking a different question:
Who am I becoming?
That question changed the course of her life. It became the foundation of There Is More Inside and, over time, the leadership philosophy that now guides her work with accomplished professionals and organizations worldwide.
Her path has since spanned Fortune 100 companies, media, higher education, and government. She has held leadership roles at Paramount, Walmart, and Amazon, served as a Senior Manager in Leadership Development at AWS, and partnered with organizations to strengthen leaders, teams, and culture from the inside out.
S. Renee is the bestselling author of 5 Steps to Assertiveness, co-author of Self-Esteem For Dummies, and author of five other books. Her work has been recognized with S. Renee Smith Day in Buffalo, New York; a commendation from the Delaware House of Representatives; and the Distinguished Alumni Award from the National Association for Equal Opportunity.
