Guy Reichard
Self Leadership & Resilience Coach
A HeartRich space for self-understanding, inner clarity, and meaningful, authentic growth. Through books, tools, writing, and coaching, I help people understand themselves more deeply and lead themselves more wisely.
Welcome to HeartRich
I’m a Self Leadership & Resilience Coach, author, and creator of the HeartRich body of work — a growing ecosystem of frameworks, books, tools, and coaching designed to help people understand themselves more deeply and lead themselves more wisely.
This work brings together mindfulness, inner parts awareness, nervous system literacy, emotional integration, values-based living, and trauma-informed principles into grounded, practical, and compassionate approaches to growth and leadership.
Through my books — including How to Talk Amongst Your Selves — reflective workbooks, and the Who’s On Your Crew? assessment, people gain language for their inner experience, clarity about their protective patterns, and greater access to Self.
For those who want deeper, personalized support, I offer coaching as the most direct expression of this work — a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, strengthen Self Leadership, and live with greater authenticity, resilience, and freedom.
New Here? A Simple Place to Begin
If you’re arriving for the first time, you don’t need to take in everything at once.
You’re welcome to explore at your own pace.
HeartRich is a growing body of writing, tools, frameworks, and coaching designed to support deeper self-understanding, emotional clarity, and authentic Self Leadership.
People engage with this work in different ways — through reading, reflection, exploration, or conversation.
The sections below introduce the main areas of this growing body of work. And if at any time, you simply want to connect and reach out to talk about working together, or collaborating, I would love that.
Getting to Know Your Inner Crews
Who’s On Your Crew? — Free Guide & Self-Exploration Assessment
This is often the most accessible place to begin.
The free Getting to Know Your Inner Crews guide introduces Self Leadership and the Inner Crews framework in a grounded, compassionate way — helping you begin noticing your inner experience with greater curiosity, clarity, and self-understanding.
The accompanying Who’s On Your Crew? assessment builds on this foundation by offering a more personalized lens into your inner patterns, protective strategies, and dominant tendencies — illuminating what may be shaping your reactions, relationships, and leadership.
Together, the guide, the assessment, and the book How to Talk Amongst Your Selves form a connected pathway for deepening self-awareness and strengthening Self Leadership.
You might begin by exploring familiar inner voices and patterns such as:
the Perfectionist, the People-Pleaser, the Avoider, the Inner Critic — and many more.
How to Talk Amongst Your Selves
A Beginner’s Guide to Self Leadership
A foundational book on inner awareness and Self Leadership
If the guide and assessment resonate, this book offers a deeper, more complete exploration of the work.
How to Talk Amongst Your Selves introduces a compassionate, psychologically grounded way of understanding your inner world — the different “parts” of you, your patterns, your protective strategies, and your deeper Self.
It offers language, insight, processes (the “How to“) and practical reflection exercises to help you make sense of experiences many people have carried quietly for years, without ever having words for them.
Many readers describe it as the first time they felt truly understood — by a book, and by themselves.
The Heart of Values
Reclaiming Authenticity, Clarity & Purpose
Where How to Talk Amongst Your Selves focuses on understanding your inner world, The Heart of Values supports you in living from it.
This guided workbook helps you clarify what truly matters, reconnect with your deeper values, and make choices with greater integrity, self-trust, and alignment. It is used in most of my coaching engagements to start and support the growth journey.
Many turn to this work during periods of transition, uncertainty, burnout, or when they sense they’ve drifted away from themselves and want to realign their life, leadership, and priorities.
Essays & Writing
A body of work on Self Leadership, Resilience, and the Inner Life
HeartRich is not built on trends. It reflects more than two decades of study, lived experience, and deep engagement with the questions that shape how we live and lead:
How we understand ourselves.
How we relate to our inner world.
How we regulate under stress.
How trauma, attachment, values, and nervous system patterns shape our lives.
How we remain human, present, and principled in demanding environments.
Across the blog and key foundational writings, I explore themes such as Self Leadership, emotional literacy, resilience, trauma-informed growth, nervous system regulation, values-based living, authenticity, and relational depth.
This includes reflective essays as well as longer-form pieces that articulate the foundations of the work — such as the The HeartRich Matrix: Self Leadership Development Framework and other core writings that shape the HeartRich approach.
These writings are not separate from the books, tools, or coaching.
They are the deeper soil from which the entire ecosystem grows.
Coaching
HeartRich Pathways & Approaches to Growth
Coaching with me is grounded in the same principles that shape the books, tools, and writing: Self Leadership, nervous system awareness, emotional literacy, values-based living, and trauma-informed care.
Rather than offering rigid programs, the work adapts to the person in front of me.
That said, people tend to come through a few natural doorways:
Self Leadership Coaching
The most integrative expression of this work.
Often chosen by those who want to explore their inner world more deeply — understanding parts, patterns, internal conflicts, protective strategies, resilience, self-compassion, and cultivating a stronger relationship with their authentic Self.
Executive Coaching
For leaders who want to lead with clarity, integrity, and emotional maturity — not just performance.
Often focuses on values-aligned leadership, relational challenges, internal pressure, identity, purpose, stress, burnout, complexity, confidence, influence, and presence at the senior level.
Resilience Coaching
For those navigating stress, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue who want practical, grounded support in regulating their nervous system and strengthening inner stability.
Often focuses on stress patterns, emotional regulation, self-compassion, boundaries, and sustainable functioning.
Whole Life Coaching
For individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, life direction, and authentic change.
Often focuses on self-awareness and self-undertanding, values, identity, purpose, fears, limiting beliefs, transitions, relationships, and reconnecting with what feels meaningful and authentic.
Why HeartRich?
We cannot grow, change, or lead well when our nervous system does not feel safe, and when we are disconnected from our inner world.
HeartRich work begins from a different premise:
Real resilience comes not from pushing harder, but from restoring connection — to our inner experience, to our values, to our humanity, and to our deeper Self.
The heart is not just symbolic here.
It represents:
- Emotional safety
- Self-connection
- Compassion and clarity
- Integrity and alignment
- The capacity to stay open under stress
When people feel safe within themselves, they naturally become more thoughtful, more grounded, more creative, more resilient, and more effective — in life and in leadership.
This is why HeartRich focuses not just on insight or tactics, but on cultivating the inner conditions that allow growth to take root.
Trusted by Thoughtful Leaders and Professionals
Over the years, I have worked with individuals and leaders across a wide range of organizations, sectors, and roles — including senior executives, emerging leaders, professionals navigating complexity, and people in moments of transition.
Rather than offering generic coaching, the work tends to resonate most with people who value depth, integrity, emotional intelligence, and thoughtful leadership.
