Course program

The Inner MBA Program by Sounds True is a 24-week online certificate program created in partnership with LinkedIn and Wisdom 2.0. It’s designed for leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who want to bring inner wisdom, conscious awareness, and evidence-backed practices together to expand the impact of their work in the world.

Mission-driven entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives, managers, coaches, consultants, creators, and business leaders who are ready to align their professional lives with deeper purpose and who already have real leadership responsibilities; not suited for complete beginners to business or leadership.

The curriculum weaves conscious business leadership with personal evolution. Students explore how wisdom traditions apply to workplace challenges and learn evidence-backed strategies for business transformation and career advancement that remain anchored in authentic values. Topics span clarity and self-mastery for executives, change leadership, organizational transformation, and the practice of meaningful contribution.

The program is built around a cohort-based community alongside teaching from a lineup of spiritual teachers and conscious business leaders. Students are guided through clarifying next steps, moving forward in alignment, and taking bold action, with reflective practice woven into each phase.

The program is led by Dr. Jeremy Hunter, founding director of the Executive Mind Leadership Institute and professor of practice at the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management; Dr. Lisa Lahey, associate director of the Change Leadership Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and coauthor of Immunity to Change; and Melissa Bernstein, cofounder of Melissa & Doug and Entrepreneur in Residence. They are joined by various presenters from the wider Sounds True, LinkedIn, and Wisdom 2.0 networks.

The Inner MBA is a 24-week online immersion that blends self-paced content with live sessions and community engagement. Students join a global cohort spanning more than 90 countries and participate in live teaching, group learning, and ongoing dialogue over the full program. Enrollment opens once a year. Payment is available either as a one-time tuition or in nine monthly installments.

Upon completion, students receive the Inner MBA Certificate of Completion, described by Sounds True as the gold standard in conscious leadership and business development. Graduates join an ongoing community of purpose-driven leaders building more human-centered businesses across industries.

Thank you for bringing Richard Schwartz HIMSELF to speak about IFS. Having read all his books, it makes sense to me that understanding of Self in spiritual terms is a breakthrough lens for everyone. To witness him, a scientist, courageously bring his hopeful understanding to a public forum is inspirational. look forward to each upcoming segment, and his ideas are a topic of discussion with others involved and not involved in the course.

This [The Way of Guardians and Grace] was a life-changing course. Caroline Myss's stories helped with understanding what she was trying to convey. If you're trying to better understand the importance of intuition, following light over dark, how to tell the difference between the two, and how it comes into play with your soul's journey, this is the course for you!

I've never been so impacted by a book or teacher. I have spent the last fifty years as a spiritual seeker, having read many helpful and inspiring books and attended numerous retreats and workshops. This course [Living from a Place of Surrender] has helped bring me closer to my destination. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Michael Singer’s wisdom and skill as a teacher, offering a mind-blowing yet understandable presentation of the Truth and how to live it.

I have been following the teachings of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield for several years. I hold a great amount of respect for their wisdom and skillful teaching. This course is the next step for my personal development as a facilitator and teacher. The course [Power of Awareness] is easy to follow and interactive, making it possible for much self-reflection and meditation practice. This course is a skillfully crafted course for anyone interested in meditation.

Rich meditation lessons for a busy life. I practice meditation almost every day, and I’ve found the Mindfulness Daily to be an enriching and rewarding experience. I’ve completed the 40 lessons many times, yet I continue to return to this practice from time to time.
