Intentional Leadership Lab

The Intentional Leadership Lab blends applicable tools from psychology, neuroscience, and global leadership experience to enhance your capacity to lead future-driven progress.

Here, science-based strategies and intentional practices support you to transform unconscious limitations into conscious choices, moving from what is to what can be as you reconnect with your authentic values and find the clarity and strength to lead aligned with your vision.

While technology races ahead and uncertainty grows, intentional leadership helps us stay grounded in what truly matters—our shared humanity and capacity to create a more prosperous and sustainable future together.

Through interactive live sessions, you'll work directly with facilitators and peers to navigate your real leadership dilemmas, strengthen resilience and the possibility to thrive, and co-create positive growth and transformation for you, your team, and your business.

Core Modules

Module 1: The Psychology and Neuroscience of Leadership

Designed as an interactive lab, Module 1 helps you strengthen the internal conditions required to lead well in complexity — from decision-making and energy management to inclusion and trust. In this session, you will:

  • Clarify and align vision, values, and intention at both individual and team levels, strengthening focus and impact

  • Apply science-based tools to regulate energy and brain states, enabling greater awareness, better decisions, and healthier team dynamics

  • Identify and disrupt limiting bias at both personal and systemic levels, supporting more inclusive leadership and stronger organizational outcomes


    Research shows: Inclusive leadership increases innovation capacity by 70%, as diverse teams consistently outperform homogeneous ones in solving complex problems (McKinsey, 2023).

Module 2: Leading Highly Collaborative Organizations

Designed as an interactive lab, Module 2 helps leaders cultivate high-performing, collaborative teams — from fostering psychological safety and accountability to unlocking collective creativity. In this session, you will:

  • Create and implement systems that strengthen awareness, accountability, and shared intelligence

  • Practice methods to lead collaborative teams effectively, with and without AI

  • Explore how human creativity, enhanced by technology, can drive innovation and organizational growth


    Impact: Companies driven by strong, values-based leadership are 50% more likely to meet or exceed financial targets (Gartner, 2024).


Module 3: Transformative Habits and Tribes

Designed as an interactive lab, Module 3 helps leaders systematically cultivate trust enhancing habits and cultures that drive more sustainable growth and innovation. In this session, you will:

  • Learn the science of transformative habit formation to lead intentional growth

  • Co-create supportive tribes that facilitate purpose-driven transformation, accountability, and resilience

  • Implement reward systems that strengthen value-led growth and intentional transformation

    Research validates: High-performing teams attribute their success to inclusive habits, with 83% of such teams reporting stronger collaboration and decision-making (Deloitte, 2024).

"The Leadership Lab with the alumni network of Stockholm Business Regions  Scaleup Program was a transformative afternoon. The lab created an open and safe space, encouraging participants to share openly and explore meaningful insights together. Through valuable tools and practical frameworks from Intentional Leadership, participants gained actionable strategies that were highly appreciated by all the entrepreneurs involved.

The session actively invited collaboration, as participants shared their experiences and knowledge, making the lab a dynamic and engaging learning journey. Even though the lab lasted a whole afternoon, the time flew by as everyone was deeply immersed in meaningful exploration and exchange."

Veronica Shivani Eriksson - Project Manager, the City of Stockholm

"Soledad was our facilitator and  mentor in the Market Fast Track program by Seeds of Bravery, and the experience was truly transformative. She's an exceptional facilitator who created a space for our group to connect, share, and grow together. I also had the chance to join her Intentional Leadership workshop, where she introduced powerful neuroscientific methodologies to help us bring ourselves and our teams into a more focused, aligned, and empowered state. The workshop and its methodologies were very supportive and uplifting." Helga Zabalkanska, co-Founder MySignature

"Soledad's session on 'Intentional Leadership' was exceptional. Her systematic yet natural approach created genuine interaction and delivered practical recommendations that kept us fully engaged.

The session's focus on unlocking the brain's highest potential is fundamental for effective leadership - understanding how to access our internal resources multiplies the impact of all our business endeavors. Given this foundation, I strongly recommend placing this session earlier in the Seeds of Bravery program, as there can be no true leadership without first developing one's internal resource state.

Her systematic presentation combined with immediately applicable recommendations made this Expert Session truly transformative. This powerful approach to human leadership not only encourages participants to set authentic priorities but provides the practical tools needed to maximize leadership potential. Thank you for an outstanding session that will have lasting impact."

Maksym Shyrnin, Market Research Specialist, STEPS project, Ukraine, participants of Seeds of Bravery Program 

"I had the privilege of attending the Intentional Leadership Lab at the end of 2024 through Stockholm Business Region, and it was an incredible experience. As an entrepreneur in Sweden, I found the concepts and activities shared during the event extremely valuable for gaining clarity in intentional leadership and decision-making. The techniques were refreshing and deeply resonated with me, as they connected to yogic philosophies I had learned in the past but had not actively applied in recent years.

The scientific explanation of how different parts of the brain influence decision-making was particularly eye-opening. It reinforced the importance of being conscious about the timing of decisions and the factors driving our choices. These insights not only help refine leadership skills but also create a stronger connection between intuition and strategy.

I highly recommend The Intentional Leadership Lab. Even if some concepts feel familiar, its scientific approach provides a deeper level of understanding and clarity that can transform the way you lead and make decisions."

Jagadeesh Varma, Founder, SITA.dev

"As a leader, it's easy to forget about yourself. You're always on the move, constantly thinking ahead to the next step. I'm so grateful for the opportunity that the Intentional Leadership Lab gave me to pause, reflect, and rediscover ways to improve both my leadership and well-being. We received valuable and essential tools that I'm excited to implement in my everyday life, so I can lead more gracefully and impactfully."

Amina EL Mallah, Corporate Club at Turkish Airlines and CEO and Founder of Jallabina

”Thanks for sharing the evaluation link. I’ll make sure to complete it soon. I also wanted to say how much I appreciated the focus on the neuroscience of leadership. Learning about the different brain states and how intentional leadership can create positive change really stuck with me, and I’ve already started applying some of the tools we explored.”

Mihai Szabo, Cybersecurity Business Advisor at Sidia Tech

“I really like your approach making everyone feel comfortable, included, and every view count. This very engaging, enthusiastic, and positive way of getting to the results with much joy as well as the tools introduced have created a conducive environment for the great achievements of the team. It has become stronger and more energized and this certainly will help the UN achieve more and better for the benefits of the people in Rwanda, leaving no one behind.”
