  • Lance Secretan has learned something that escapes most executives: that their employees have souls. Even better, Lance shows would-be leaders how to create organizations with soul-and the results to prove it.

  • Your “Inspiration in the Cloud” events came at such an important time in our humanity. They’ve provided needed healing and connectivity, amongst so much chaos and uncertainty. And your leadership and empathy have helped to facilitate some of the most beautiful and vulnerable conversations I’ve been a part of in recent times. I believe anybody on those calls feels the same way.

  • Lance was able to inspire me and help me focus in such a way that helped me “up my game” by providing clarity of purpose.

    Rick Goldring

    Former Mayor of Burlington, Ontario

  • The impact on everyone following the Masterclass based on Reawakening the Human Spirit has been, as I had hoped, inspiring and life changing. I told all my people before we started that this would be the case, because I believed it in my heart, mind, and soul, but it is amazing to see and experience the transformation. It is only possible to truly understand it by experiencing it. And it has surpassed my hopes. THANK YOU from ALL of US!

  • “Lance, my friend and spiritual guide for decades. You were the reason HopeSource adopted the CASTLE Principles totally and completely and still guards the culture it built fiercely. When we met, HopeSource had maybe 50 employees with a budget under 2MM. Today, and I am convinced it is because of that culture, we have built into 130 employees in four offices in six counties and contracts exceeding 40MM. The CASTLE culture is what attracted excellent talent and kept people over time. 2026 will be fabulous in a company if you are properly CASTLE'd. From my heart, thank you Lance.”

  • People hire coaches to inspire them to grow from where they are to where they aspire to be, and a great coach sees through where a person is, to where they CAN be.

  • During the transition to my current leadership position, Lance Secretan offered a sounding board, solid advice and deep experience that was extraordinarily valuable. As a result of many years as an operating CEO, he is wise and deeply grounded in the experience of being a CEO. He does not hold back his truth and represents a wonderful, highly intelligent partner for sharing ideas and candor. My path towards my present position was made easier through my work with Lance. He guided me through the process of finding a new role that is more aligned with my talents and passion - I am much happier for it.

  • If I could choose but one person to work with for the remainder of my professional career, it is Lance. He is an inspirational leader who brings out the best in others, no matter what their title or task. He knows how to elevate everyone around him to achieve a level of excellence that is unexpected. His knowledge of corporate culture and leadership make him a huge asset to any corporation or organization looking to move to the next level. Lance successfully helped my organization earn a place on Fortune magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For list - four years in a row.

  • I have just completed the most challenging, and at the same time, best year in my entire career. Throughout that time, Lance has been my executive coach, and I couldn’t have done it without him.

    Christopher M Todoroff

    Former Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Humana Inc

  • I worked with Lance Secretan during the transition to my current CEO position. Lance is experienced, professional and brings a unique perspective from his many years as an operating CEO. He is challenging, insightful and direct. I valued his counsel - he provided the wise ears and encouraging heart that I needed - and it worked.

    John Koster

    CEO, Providence Health (retired)

  • Lance - you are a fabulous coach and I hope you are savoring the successes you have helped me and our team to achieve as much as we are. You are a key contributor. Most importantly, you have helped me strive to be a better being.

    Joe Reagan

    Former President & CEO, St. Louis Regional Chamber & Growth Association

  • Coaching with Lance was like having a lighthouse on the shore of my troubled sea. Lance cares, and he knows his stuff when it comes to leadership in turbulent times. The amazing thing about coaching with Lance was that whenever I would think: "Lance, you're crazy", it always turned out that he was right.

  • You don´t want to miss these sessions. Amazing experience. The best combination of collective wisdom, practical information and inspiration. With the unique magical touch of Lance Secretan.

  • With Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in my backyard, I expected Lance Secretan's Leadership Summit to be, well, a nice weekend skiing experience, enhanced with conscious conversation. I was wrong. First, the skiing was of the kind I've only seen in videos and the Leadership experience was set in my bones when in the first 30 minutes on the hill, I was treated as an expert skier so masterfully that my mind was changed about my ability, before I knew it. By the end of the weekend, I realized I had leaped forward as an athlete the way I might have done as a teen some 35 years ago. The conscious conversation also touched me deeply, it inspired me to live the CASTLE Principles, rather than simply agreeing with them intellectually, as I read Lance's great book "ONE". Back in the office, I'm noticing leadership issues handled with ease and with little thought required-proof again that the weekend is not in my head, it's in my heart. Thank you for a peak life experience.

  • Lance is interested in self-sustaining and dramatic improvement: what creates a positive energy that cannot be depleted? Lance teaches how inspiration and inspiring behavior transcend motivational fad, raise the game to the highest level, to the most people fastest; and are wholly integrated with one’s life (rather than seeing work life as separate from home life) thus creating a genuine, complete, and virtuous cycle.
