How a leadership consultant went from unpredictable cash flow to her biggest contract ever.
Ingrid Wallace is no stranger to leading powerful rooms. As a C-Suite coach with decades of experience in executive development, she’s trained leaders across the U.S., U.K., Germany, India, and Canada, spanning both corporate and nonprofit sectors. Her signature approach? Blending performance, presence, and leadership strategy to build high-impact executives from the inside out.
She’s the powerhouse behind Ingrid Wallace Presents, a Chicago-based consulting practice. But before she was closing record-breaking contracts, Ingrid—like so many high-performing women—was navigating success without sustainability.
What followed was a powerful evolution: from operating in overdrive to building with clarity, systems, and support.
(And in case you didn’t know—when she’s not transforming boardrooms, Ingrid’s commanding the stage. She studied singing in five languages and has performed in nine, including classical, jazz, and gospel.)
Her journey back to structure, sustainability, and self-trust is one every high-level woman will recognize.

From Feast or Famine to CEO Flow
Ingrid Wallace wasn’t short on clients or credibility.
She had trained executive leaders at Ford, GM, Chrysler, and McDonald’s. Her work was backed by major universities and even reflected the influence of Disney’s leadership systems.
From the outside? She had made it.
But inside her business?
“I had a lot of money — or I had none. There was no consistency. I was in feast-or-famine mode my entire career.”
The revenue was real, but so was the burnout.
The brilliance was undeniable, but so was the lack of support.
The Real Shift Wasn’t Strategy. It Was Structure.
A trusted client referred Ingrid to Shayla.
“Just say yes to the masterclass,” they said. And she did.
That simple “yes” unlocked something new—something she didn’t realize she needed.
Ingrid attended the Luxe Your Business® Experience in San Diego, CA, and Scottsdale, AZ.
It wasn’t just the strategy that changed her—it was the energy. The clarity. The space to breathe, reflect, and finally be supported.
“You helped me see what I didn’t want to admit:
I didn’t have systems. I didn’t have cash flow.
I didn’t have vacations. I didn’t have consistency.
I didn’t have support. I didn’t have security.”
The Breakthrough: Owning Her Genius
Before she joined the Luxe CEO Inner Circle, Ingrid had been holding her business together with duct tape and determination.
After joining, she:
- Let go of makeshift support and hired the executive assistant she had been resisting
- Stopped doing everything alone
- Trusted her own rhythm—and the sales started flowing
“Once I got out of the way, the contracts started flying in from everywhere.”
The Power of a Room That Pays You Back
Ingrid had joined masterminds before.
But nothing like this.
In the Luxe CEO Inner Circle, she didn’t just get strategy, she got sisterhood.
“We supported each other financially.
The group sustains me.
I needed that energy, the collaboration, the sisterhood.”
This wasn’t just networking. It was nourishment.
A reminder that you don’t have to build your legacy alone.
Her Luxe CEO Evolution
When asked how she would describe her Luxe evolution, Ingrid didn’t hesitate.
“I have to love myself as my business—
as an expression of my own brilliance.”
That’s what she reclaimed.
Not just revenue. Not just systems.
Her power.
Ready for Your Luxe Shift?
Ingrid’s story is proof:
You can have the clients. The credibility. Even the contracts.
But without structure, you’re still stuck in survival.
The Luxe Your Business® Experience is your invitation to build something sustainable—and sacred.
