Helping high-performing leaders build sustainable success without sacrificing themselves or their teams in the process.

We work with managers and executives operating under constant pressure: rapid growth, complex stakeholders, diverse teams, and high expectations.

Unlike traditional leadership training that focuses only on skills and tactics, we work at the level underneath, how leaders regulate stress, communicate in difficult moments, set healthy boundaries, and lead from a grounded sense of identity.

The result is steadier decision-making, stronger teams, lower burnout, and leaders who can scale with the business instead of collapsing under it.

WHO WE SERVE

High-growth companies

Technology and professional services firms

Organizations navigating scale, change, or restructuring

Teams with first-time managers and emerging leaders

Diverse and multicultural workforces

THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

Burnout and attrition among high performers

New managers struggling with authority and boundaries

Over-responsible employees carrying too much

Avoidance or blow-ups in conflict

Leaders promoted for skill, not readiness

Cultural misunderstandings inside diverse teams

Chronic overwork and decision fatigue

Low psychological safety

OUR PHILSOPHY

We believe leadership isn’t built through pressure. It’s built through clarity. Regulation. Boundaries. Identity.

And environments where people can think instead of survive.

When leaders are steady, teams follow.

Lillian So is the founder of The SO Method and a leadership development advisor to high-performing individuals and organizations.

Her work centers on the inner capacities that shape outer performance—how leaders regulate stress, navigate complexity, set boundaries, and lead from a grounded sense of identity.

She brings this approach into corporate environments to help organizations build resilient leadership pipelines, reduce burnout, and create sustainable high-performance cultures.

Most leadership programs teach skills. We work at the level underneath.

How leaders relate to pressure, responsibility, and themselves.

Because that’s what actually determines how they show up with their teams.
