Turn Ready-Soon Managers into Ready-Now Enterprise Leaders.
For C-suite and senior HR leaders who can’t name their next VP—and can’t afford another high-potential who stumbles in their first 90 days.
Executive Insights™ 1-to-1 coaching solves what boards worry about most: 86% of leaders can't think beyond their silo, and 45% of companies have no internal successors ready when they need them.
Who We Work With
We work with growing, high-stakes companies — the kind where complexity’s outpacing leadership capacity — in CPG, pharma, fintech, and tech.
Inside those firms, we partner with executives responsible for building a strong leadership bench — especially those facing stalled pipelines and succession gaps. We coach high-potential managers who are smart, capable, and respected — but still missing the strategic presence, cross-functional influence, or enterprise mindset to lead at the next level.
I’m Julie Young,
Founder of In-Sight Leadership Coaching.
After 30+ years building leadership pipelines inside companies like Gillette, Takeda, and Pacific Western Bank, I now partner with talent leaders who are done hearing that all high-potential managers need is “more time in the role.”
Time doing what — chasing alignment?
Sitting in meetings?
Hoping influence skills just appear?
I help accelerate the real capabilities that succession plans demand: enterprise thinking, executive presence, and the ability to influence across functions without burning out.

You believed they were ready.
High performer.
Strategic thinker.
Perfect for the VP role.
But six months in, they're still operating like a director. Cross-functional projects stall. Stakeholders bypass them for decisions. And your 'sure thing' is either burning out or updating their LinkedIn.
Here’s how we help:
Executive Insights™ coaching reignites momentum. Through personalized, targeted support, we help your high-potential leaders build the confidence, influence, and executive presence they need to lead — not just manage. So they grow into the role you saw in them from the start.
