About Jesse Chen
Founder | The Leadership Mystery School
I used to think success meant performance.
Now I know it means presence.
From Executive Strategy to Amazonian Ceremony
Here's Why I Do This Work.
I spent years climbing the corporate ladder — from roles with Deloitte to BNY Mellon to innovation with Two Sigma and Google to speaking on TEDx stages.
I built influence, made money, and earned respect. But behind the scenes, I was quietly burning out.
It wasn’t just the pressure.
It was the disconnection. From my purpose. From my body. From my relationships. From myself.
When my mother passed after a two-decade journey with illness, something broke open. I left the U.S., moved to Mexico, and began a deeper journey - sitting with indigenous elders, in the jungle studying psychedelic integration, healing trauma, and redefining what leadership really means.
In love. At work. In life.
Now, I help other high performers do the same: remember who they are, reclaim their inner power, and lead with presence.
There’s a moment when you stop performing—and start remembering who you truly are.
The Executive Edge:
Rising Above the Game
It’s about remembering who you are - and reclaiming the power you’ve always had.
There’s a moment when you stop performing—and start remembering who you truly are.
I work with high-performers who’ve built success but feel stuck in the game. Office politics. Ego battles. Long hours. Quiet resentment.
A growing disconnect between who they are and how they lead.
They’re managing teams by day - and struggling to connect at home by night.
Their nervous systems are shot. Their relationships strained. They feel the pressure to hold it all together, but inside they’re whispering:
“I can’t keep doing this.”
“What’s the point of all this?”
“No one really sees me.”
“I have to figure this out before I break something.”
"Is this all there is?"
I help leaders rise above the games by mastering the inner terrain:
Navigating politics without losing their integrity
Holding their frame under pressure
Saying no without guilt
Leading with clarity, presence, and power
This isn't therapy.
This is initiation.
A Category of One
You’re already at the threshold.
I guide clients through transformational work at the intersection of:
Conscious Leadership (from the corporate world I came from)
Masculine & Emotional Mastery (from the deep inner work I’ve lived)
Psychedelic Integration (from the indigenous wisdom I’ve been entrusted with)
These three threads form what I call Authentic Influence - a unique leadership presence rooted in sovereignty, alignment, and service.
Depending on your journey, I may guide you through:
Private coaching
The Way of the Leader – Transformational executive leadership to rise above the office politics and get what you deserve
Warrior Rising – A men’s path of masculine self-mastery for love, work, and life
Live the Dream – Consciousness expansion + clarity
Or ceremonial work in sacred space.
Not everyone is called deep into the jungle or to plant medicine.
But, wherever you begin on your journey, I’ll meet you there. And I won’t let you stay stuck.
Your Legacy Begins with Presence
If you're ready to lead from your deepest alignment and ultimate authenticity — not just react to the world around you — then I invite you into this work.
Because when you remember who you truly are, you become unstoppable.
“I don’t help high performers hustle harder. I help them remember their power — so they no longer need to perform, prove, or pretend.”
