You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine
when your mental or emotional capacity is breaking down (under the weight of everything you’re holding in your business).
This “Break The Spiral Session” is a 90 min private session that helps you process what’s happening under the surface so your business decisions reflect your vision, not your stress response.
But real momentum (the kind of momentum that doesn’t come back to bite you) usually starts by locating the state behind the urgency, not reacting to the symptom on the surface.
Most founders assume that taking action is the fastest way to restore momentum when things feel off.
I call it the “Perform Through Pressure” Loop
02
You Try to Get in Control
You double down.
You focus harder. You start tweaking things. You go above and beyond because you care.
If it’s a client? You go out of scope.
If it’s a launch? You start adding more (more sections, more lesson more assets), trying to guarantee a result.
You’re not spiraling...you’re trying to stay in control.
03
The Chaos Starts to Creep In
The workload consumes you. Your brain gets full...fast.
You’re working twice as hard just to hold things together, but the tension isn’t going anywhere. It’s not panic yet, but your mental/emotional capacity is already at it’s peak. You can tell because your head feels like it might explode. Still, you keep going.
At some point, it’s not about effort anymore. You’re already giving everything
What you’re missing is certainty, the kind that lets you trust the work, stand by the plan, know you’re on the right track.
But when your system is scrambled, that kind of knowing isn’t available. Only reaction is.
You shift into motion quickly.
A result dips, feedback lands wrong, a timeline shifts, and the adjustments begin. You update the plan, revisit the offer, tighten the team’s focus. It looks like responsiveness. It sounds like leadership. But the pace tells a different story.
You’re revising things that haven’t failed. You’re second-guessing decisions that made sense days ago. You’re rewriting deliverables, not because they’re broken, but because you no longer feel anchored in what they’re meant to do.
The urgency isn’t always visible. It shows up in how many tabs stay open. In how often you scan a sentence before sending it. In how many times you mentally loop through a decision after it’s already been made.
The longer this continues, the more your business begins to mirror it. The constant reshuffling. The unfinished ideas. The over-correction baked into things that didn’t need fixing.
And underneath it, the question that never gets asked:
What part of you hasn’t had space to land?

When the pressure spikes, you keep going...
(Because that’s what the business needs.)
- You’re in the middle of something that matters, a launch, a push, a delivery and you can’t tell if what you’re doing is coming from clarity or chaos
- You’ve recently made a big move (hired, restructured, pivoted) and instead of relief, you’re feeling more pressure
- You’ve been second-guessing every decision, even though nothing looks “wrong” from the outside
- You feel like you’ve lost connection to your own judgment, and you’re tired of working twice as hard just to feel okay again
- You don’t need a program or long-term container, you need one moment of space to see what’s actually going on before you act again
This session is right for you if:
- You’re looking for a long-term coaching container: this is a single, focused session built to stabilize a moment, not hold a full season
- You want help building your business strategy from scratch: this session is for recalibrating your internal state, not designing your offer suite
- You’re in an early stage of business and still finding your footing: this is built for founders already carrying real responsibility and decision-weight
- You’re not ready to pause and reflect: you’d rather keep executing without stopping to understand what’s really behind your current decisions
- You’re hoping for quick mindset tips or motivational advice: this session is for unpacking what’s actually driving you right now, not just trying to feel better
This session is NOT for you if:
What actually happens inside the session?
We slow everything down not to lose momentum, but to help you find yours again.
This session is a strategic pause for the part of the business only you can stabilize: YOU.
1/ We map what’s actually driving the pressure you’re in.
We name the spiral, clearly and calmly, so you stop building your next decision on top of instability.
To hear yourself think with someone who knows how to listen for the signal, not just the noise.
2/ You’ll have space to say what hasn’t been said.
You’ll walk away with one clear next move not from panic, but from internal steadiness.
3/ And by the end?
A documented summary (delivered post-call) that outlines what we uncovered, what to watch for next time, and one action to move forward from clarity
A calm, grounded understanding of what’s actually driving the chain of reactions under pressure, not just what it looks like on the surface
Language for the internal pattern you’ve been repeating (so you stop mistaking panic for your vision/internal voice)
A process of the decision or direction you’re currently unsure about - mapped out from stability, not stress
The ability to tell the difference between what needs to shift in the business - and what was never about the business at all
After this 90-minute session, you’ll leave with:
Think of this session as a space for
Naming what you’re in so you can move through it
Returning to anchored direction without burning everything down or building something you won’t want later
Getting your edge back without pretending you're not under pressure
And that question became my work.
Over the last decade, I’ve studied and practiced behavioral psychology, neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and the science of change, I hold certifications across those domains but more importantly, I’ve built a skill-based methodology called Secure And Stable CEO™ specifically for founders who operate under real pressure the ones leading teams, managing revenue, and making high-stakes decisions every day.
No more "shaking it off". No more crying no more mindset hacks or business strategy.
Just the skills to keep your internal world stable enough to lead so the business can grow without requiring the person running it to collapse.

About Founder
Hi, I’m Denis Sindler, founder of Impactful Leader. And here I work with founders who carry more than most people realize and don’t have the luxury of falling apart when things get hard.
Before this work, I ran a successful business. It was profitable, visible, and working on paper but I wasn’t.
I could hold the business. But I couldn’t hold myself.
So I decided to shut it down, not because it was failing, but because I didn’t yet have the internal infrastructure I now teach: how to stay grounded through intensity, make clean decisions under pressure, and lead without spiraling into doubt, delay, or overcommitment.
That decision (of shutting down an already profitable business) changed everything.
Because I didn’t just walk away from a business I walked toward a better question: What does it actually take to lead something real, without burning out, disappearing, or silently falling apart behind the scenes while trying to hold it all together.

Here’s how it works:

Typical situations that lead founders to book this session:
We don’t circle around the bush. We name it, and get you back to solid ground.

You’ll walk in with pressure.
You’ll walk out with precision.
