Strategies don’t fail on paper. They fail on people.
Inner Development Kit builds the human capability that makes strategy executable – the missing 90% that decides whether your strategy lands, or stays on the shelf.
Research backed tools used by leaders, teams, and organisations across 5 continents, in 7 languages.
Strategy is 10%. The 90% is human.
Strategies don’t fail on paper. They fail on the people who have to deliver them.
Inner Development Kit closes that gap.
We help you build the human side of strategy – with three tools that work together:
1. The tangible dialogue tools – dialogue cards, skill cards, and an assessment card. Easy to use. Sparks deep reflection and conversation from the first minute. Used by leaders, teams, and organisations across 5 continents, in 7 languages.
2. The Online Assessment – a digital assessment for individuals, teams, and 360. See how well you master each of the 25 inner skills across the 5 dimensions. Reflect on which skills matter most for a specific goal or challenge. Walk away with a concrete first step for developing the skill you’ve chosen. Try the free version – or upgrade for the full experience with optional AI recommendations.
3. Bold facilitation – Sara, your consultant. Leadership training, team development, strategy implementation, and train-the-trainer courses (online and offline). With more than 20 years of experience, Sara helps teams and leaders reach their outer goals by developing the inner skills they need to get there.

Inner development for strategy execution and team performance
You know the signs.
Where strategy execution fails:
- The strategy sounds great in the boardroom. Then nothing changes in operations.
- People agree. But their behaviour doesn’t shift.
- Middle management doesn’t translate intent into action.
- Change loses momentum after three months.
Where team performance stalls:
- Meetings run long. Decisions don’t stick.
- People agree in the room. They complain in the corridor.
- No one speaks up when they see the problem.
- The team is smart. The results don’t follow.
Sound familiar?
These problems aren’t about the strategy. Or about the people. They’re about the gap between the two – the human capability to actually deliver what you’ve decided.
That gap is where inner development works.
When you build the inner skills your strategy depends on:
- Strategy becomes executable – because people have the capability to actually do it
- Teams move from surface alignment to real alignment – with trust and psychological safety as the foundation
- Leaders hold complexity – not just manage tasks
- Reflection becomes action – not reports that get filed
- Change lands – and stays

To close the gap between change theory and real action. Between the human side of leadership and strategy execution. Between serious work and playful engagement.

What’s inside the Inner Development Kit?
Three tangible tools plus a facilitator guide. All practical. All research-backed. All designed to foster deep conversations – because that’s where insight becomes action, and outer goals become inner practice.
Why work with dialogue cards
Bold, direct, thought-provoking questions. 24 questions for each of the 5 IDG dimensions. They spark the conversations that don’t happen on their own. They open self-reflection about how you feel, think, and act – and create curiosity, meaningful dialogue, and stronger, trust-based relationships.
Perfect for team check-ins, coaching sessions, and Walk&Talks.
Why work with skills cards
75 cards. 3 per skill. Each card puts one of the 25 inner skills into a clear, actionable statement. Use them to:
Recognizing your own strengths – and prioritize what to develop next.
Acknowledge others for their strengths to build motivation, strengthen relationships, and grow self-confidence
Sharing your own strengths with our team so they understand what drives you, and you see the team’s collective potential
Why work with Assessments?
A structured way to see where you stand on the 25 inner skills. It brings awareness to your strengths and your growth areas. – And becomes the starting point for structured, action-oriented dialogue in one-on-ones or with your team regarding where to develop to succeed with a specific goal or challenge.
Note: The assessment Tool is also available online in 3 versions: For individuals, teams, and 360. See more below.
The How-to guide
The Kit comes ready to use. The How-to Guide gives you exercises, coaching questions, and reflection prompts for every tool – so you can facilitate the Kit without any training.
If you want further inspiration and tips and tricks for your facilitation or a specific use case, see below in the Courses, workshops & talks seksion.
Online assessment tool for individuals, teams and 360
The online Assessment Tool helps you (or your team) see where you stand on the 25 inner skills – and reflect on which ones will help you reach a specific goal or work through a challenge.
Unlike most assessments, this one has few rating questions. The focus is on open-ended reflection tied to your real challenge – because reflection is what turns insight into action.
You get a printable report with your spiderweb, your top and bottom skills, and your reflections. Use it as a dialogue starter in coaching sessions, one-on-ones, team development, talent programmes, or recruitment.
The optional AI add-on gives you tailored exercise recommendations – based on the skills you’ve chosen and the goal you’re working with. More info in the Q&A below.
Try the free version – or go straight to Individual, Team, or 360.

Facilitation is key – and most underrated leadership tool
Why facilitation is key
The best strategy in the world doesn’t move on its own. It moves when someone holds the room, asks the right question, and creates the space where people actually think, disagree, and decide together.
Sara is a certified Co-Active Coach and Team Coach, and a KaosPilot graduate. Facilitation runs through everything she does – because change doesn’t happen in the plan. It happens in the conversation.
That’s why every course, workshop, and talk is built on facilitation – the leadership skill that turns intent into action.
Monthly online facilitator course
Facilitation is a leadership skill you can learn.
In 2.5 hours online, you’ll build the confidence and technique to facilitate inner development in your own team or organisation – using the Inner Development Kit and Sara’s own approach.
You’ll walk away with:
Facilitation methods that create real engagement, not just intellectual agreement
Practical techniques for holding space, asking better questions, and guiding honest dialogue
Confidence to run workshops that create behaviour change, not just insight
Perfect for leaders, HR professionals, consultants, coaches, and educators.
Courses are held every month.
