"For the first time, I’m approaching challenges with clarity and self-compassion instead of fear or overwhelm. I’ve stopped judging myself so harshly, I can sit with difficult emotions, and I feel more grounded stepping into new situations, including a new job. What we did wasn’t just coaching. It was building a new way of being I can take into every part of my life.Jan Schram

You’re caught in these expensive cycles:
Spinning in your head for days after a heated meeting, replaying every word you said instead of focusing on what comes next
Knowing exactly what you want to say but anxiety makes you either over-explain or shut down completely when it matters most
Making the right decision then second-guessing yourself for weeks, asking everyone around you for validation you don’t actually need
Feeling like you’re barely holding it together while others see you as the capable one. The exhausting gap between your internal experience and external image
Running on willpower and caffeine instead of sustainable presence, wondering how long you can keep this pace without burning out
Others turning to you for answers but you don’t feel like the steady force they need when everything feels chaotic
Sound familiar?
THE GAP BETWEEN KNOWING AND BEING
The High-Performer’s
Paradox
Here's why most people stay stuck in reactive patterns
After 7 years of academic studies and cutting-edge work in investment banking and social innovation, I could analyze any problem and create solutions. I thought I was emotionally intelligent too—others confirmed that. From the outside, I was performing well.
But something felt off.
I was still second-guessing myself on decisions I knew were right, getting reactive in debates and conversations, and often felt drained despite my success. At some point I realized I was thinking about emotions instead of actually feeling them.
Sentences like "I feel like my manager isn't paying attention to what I have to say" aren't feelings -they're interpretations.
I was caught in what I now call the high-performer’s paradox: I had intellectual clarity about my patterns and knew what I “should” do, yet I still got stuck in the same cycles. The gap between knowing and being was costing me energy, relationships, and decision-making speed.
This wasn't just personal growth.
Solving it became a competitive advantage.
Through training in Gábor Máté’s Compassionate Inquiry and nervous system regulation, I discovered the missing piece: learning to read my whole inner system - thoughts, emotions, body sensations - and develop tools to find internal balance. When I did this, I suddenly had space to choose where to put my inner focus and how I respond in difficult moments.

THE MISSING PIECE
Your Complete Operating System
Think Less. Feel More. Relate Better.
Most leadership development focuses on one layer:
• Strategy workshops = cognitive only
• Mindfulness training = awareness only
• Communication skills = behavioral only
But real transformation happens when all three layers work together. The Inner Mastery Approach integrates your complete system:
Phase 1: REGULATE
(Weeks 1-4)
Develop nervous system awareness and real-time inner system tracking. Learn to read your internal state (thoughts, emotions, body sensations) and shift out of stress or shutdown using targeted breathing and awareness protocols. You'll build practical tools for presence under pressure.
Key Development: Catch reactivity before it impacts important conversations or decisions.
Phase 2: ATTUNE
(Weeks 5-8)
Move beyond thinking about emotions to actually experiencing them as information. Develop the capacity to feel your way through decisions rather than think your way into paralysis.
Key Development: Access your full spectrum intelligence - logical and intuitive - rather than defaulting to overthinking.
Phase 3: RELATE
(Week 9-12)
Bridge the gap between your inner experience and how you show up with others. Learn to communicate from grounded clarity rather than stress or reactivity.
Key Development: Become the steady presence others naturally turn to in uncertainty.

TESTIMONIALS
SUCCESS STORIES
“After years in fast-paced corporate environments, I was burned out and stuck in mental loops. Working with Tamás helped me reconnect with my body, quiet the inner critic, and trust myself in the face of difficult choices. Saying no to a comfortable consultancy job and instead choosing the uncertainty of meaningful work was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made. But I didn’t let fear decide for me. Since then, I’ve landed new freelance contracts with clients I wish to work with and taken real steps toward building a purpose-led consultancy. I now feel more aligned with how I want to work and contribute.”
Abi G., Former Design Lead @ Accenture
“Tamás is what you’d call a people’s person. Grounded, direct, and deeply human. Collaborating with him helped me clarify challenges I’d been carrying for a long time. He doesn’t offer quick fixes, but he knows how to guide you toward your own truth with honesty and care. He’s the kind of person you feel safe enough with to explore parts of yourself you usually keep hidden. He meets you with patience and presence, exactly where you are. In that space, I was able to access a depth in myself I hadn’t touched before. And from there, something shifted. New possibilities opened.”
Benoit B., Highline World Champion and World Record Holder
"I knew so much about healing and self-work, but I couldn't move my own business forward because I was over-analyzing every feeling instead of just experiencing them. The program taught me to be in my body without the analysis paralysis. Now I understand I can choose my reactions and have practical tools to regulate myself in any situation."
Tatiana K., Project & Wellness Strategist
"I was running in circles, avoiding the internal noise and fear that kept me stuck. Working with Tamas and his appoach wasn't just surface-level strategy work.It was deep, embodied work that untangled layers of self-doubt. Now I walk away from every challenge with more clarity, emotional presence, and trust in who I'm becoming."

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hey, I'm Tamás Hovanyecz
Growing up in post-communist Hungary, I navigated an emotionally volatile environment that taught me to stay alert and keep the peace by suppressing my feelings.This pattern followed me as I excelled academically and professionally at Morgan Stanley. On the outside: success. Inside: anxiety, overthinking, and disconnection from myself.After a personal loss revealed the gap between my authentic self and how I was living, I left the corporate world to find a more integrated path.My journey across four continents included leading wilderness programs in France, building social innovation labs in Switzerland, directing Greenpeace's climate psychology lab in Taiwan, and developing communities in New Zealand. Along the way, I trained extensively with world-class experts like Dr. Gabor Maté, Nicholas Janni, Patrick McKeown, Jonny Miller, and Dan Koe in functional breathwork, awareness-based methodologies, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed systemic coaching.Inner Mastery Lab emerged from this journey. A synthesis of proven methodologies to help high-performers transform overthinking and reactivity into embodied leadership and authentic presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
“I’ve tried coaching before, how is this different?”
Most coaching focuses on cognitive strategies or behavioral changes. The Inner Mastery Lab works with your complete operating system - thoughts, emotions, and body sensations - in real-time. You’re not just learning concepts; you’re rewiring decades of patterns through practice with peers facing the same challenges.
“I don’t have time for another program.”
This is exactly why most high-performers stay stuck. The time you spend overthinking decisions, replaying conversations, and managing internal chaos far exceeds 2.5 hours per week. This program gives you back time by teaching you to respond rather than react.
“What if I can’t attend all the live sessions?”
All sessions are recorded, but transformation happens through live practice, not by passive watching. We've designed the schedule for busy high-performers: Monday evenings at 18:00 CET, consistent timing, no sessions during major holidays. Plus, your 6 private 1:1 sessions ensure you get personalized support regardless of group attendance.
“What if this doesn’t work for my specific situation?”
Every high-performer’s challenges look different on the surface, but the underlying patterns are remarkably similar. The nervous system regulation tools and emotional attunement practices work regardless of whether you’re dealing with difficult investors, team conflicts, or major strategic decisions.
Ready to Transform Overthinking
