Meet Ingrid
Ingrid Woodward is a London-based founder and transformation strategist who helps high-performing professionals dismantle invisible patterns that limit their income, impact, and wellbeing. A former Fortune 500 executive, she now guides others to navigate career ceilings without sacrificing health or identity.
Walking Through Doors She Never Planned
Ingrid Woodward’s story begins not with a grand plan but with a series of steps taken one at a time, often under pressure, sometimes by necessity. Growing up in an immigrant household with a single father, she quickly learned the value of resilience, independence, and careful calculation.
“I didn’t set out to become a manager or lead, I wanted to excel and be the best in whatever I do.”
From her first role as a junior claims handler in income protection, pensions, and critical illness, Ingrid’s trajectory was marked by rapid progression through a labyrinth of Fortune 500 companies Ace/Chubb, AIG, Zurich, and CNA across roles in claims leadership, operations, technology, analytics, and project management. Her superpower, she says, has always been “change and transformation,” taking on high-stakes projects that others avoided and realizing benefits in the millions for the organizations she served.
Yet, her career was never a straightforward ascent. Ingrid faced redundancy three times, discrimination, and unwanted attention that led to demotion and exit. Even after securing promotions she loved, the stability she had fought for could be undone in a moment. And through it all, she was a mother navigating IVF, experiencing the intimate pressures of both career and family life.
When the Floor Shifts Beneath You
One pivotal moment came after returning from maternity leave. She was promoted to a role she loved, only to have it placed at risk after rejecting an advance from a senior leader. The experience revealed a hidden truth: many women stayed silent, sacrificing boundaries and safety for financial security. Ingrid’s empathy deepened, fueled by her own shame and internal judgment from personal struggles, and she began to see patterns she had been unconsciously replicating.
“The first time I experienced redundancy, I literally asked for a job at a conference, I didn’t have a strategic plan just a sense of what I wanted to experience.”
That blend of courage, improvisation, and unflinching curiosity would become central to her approach in both corporate leadership and later in her own practice.
The COVID-19 pandemic further tested her resilience. Leading a major company crisis remotely while caring for her ill father, she navigated an unprecedented balancing act of operational demands and personal grief. Each challenge, each pivot, became a lesson in both leadership and self-preservation.
Turning Patterns Into Purpose
After leaving corporate life in 2022, Ingrid began a radical pivot. She explored spirituality, Akashic Records, energy work, and coaching, eventually developing a four-step method to break the cycles that had stalled her personal and professional growth. Where she had once thought confidence or clarity alone would unlock success, she now understood that hidden patterns energetic architectures were the true barriers.
She helps executives and entrepreneurs uncover these invisible ceilings, the behaviors and beliefs quietly sabotaging their potential. Her work is not about tactics or strategy; it is about identifying and removing the subtle blocks that prevent sustained success, enabling individuals to operate from alignment rather than force.
Ingrid focuses especially on women. She believes that when women build wealth and freedom, the benefits ripple across families, communities, and society at large.
“When women build legacy wealth, they don’t just change their own lives. They shift what’s possible for their children, their teams, and their communities,”
Crafting Work That Matters
Today, Ingrid’s work sits at the intersection of energetics, strategy, and nervous system regulation. She guides clients from chaos and confusion to clarity, from stalling patterns to accelerated revenue, all while maintaining wellbeing. One client, a corporate executive repeatedly overlooked for promotion, negotiated a 60% raise and a new title after addressing underlying patterns; another founder halved their 70-hour workweek while scaling their business.
Her focus is holistic: breaking income ceilings is inseparable from dismantling relational or identity constraints. She seeks to normalize the idea that abundance financial, personal, and professional can coexist with self-respect, health, and joy.
Beyond individual transformation, Ingrid has a long-term vision that reaches back to her roots. She intends to cross the $2 million threshold in revenue and use the profits to provide care for blind children in Jamaica, as well as fund scholarships for alternative education pathways. For her, wealth is not simply accumulation it is a vehicle for freedom, opportunity, and generational impact.
A Future Aligned With Heart and Mind
Ingrid’s vision is expansive yet grounded. She envisions a world where women move past invisible ceilings and step into wealth, leadership, and influence without compromise. Where success is measured not only in dollars but in alignment, integrity, and wellbeing. Her guidance is informed by personal experience, spiritual practice, and a deep understanding of systemic barriers: she combines practical insight with energetic awareness to ensure her clients move forward sustainably.
For Ingrid, the path forward is not just about achievement it is about presence. She spends her days walking, connecting with nature, and imagining future possibilities. Her methods, rooted in self-responsibility and heart-centered leadership, encourage others to question scarcity narratives, challenge old patterns, and embrace intentionality.
Reflection from the Inside Out
Ingrid Woodward’s journey reminds us that resilience, insight, and transformation often arise from unexpected trials. From early corporate floors to late-night energy work, she has learned that the most profound growth comes from attending to the unseen patterns, beliefs, and emotional landscapes that shape every choice.
Her story is one of courage, curiosity, and relentless pursuit of alignment. It is a testament to the power of radical responsibility, the value of self-trust, and the quiet revolution of breaking ceilings without breaking oneself. By helping others step into their highest timelines, Ingrid embodies a leadership that is at once fierce, compassionate, and deeply human.
