Defend the life you love.
Royal Leo is an ecosystem built by people who believe real self-defense starts from the inside out — protecting your body, training your mind, and staying rooted in your spirit. Everything here grew out of that one idea.

Some links above include referral or discount codes for our own courses. Krav Maga and physical self-defense training involve real physical risk — always train within your ability and stop if something feels wrong. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary practice and is not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment.
Executive Leadership Development. Grounded in Behavioral Science.
If you're evaluating executive coaching, leadership development, or performance consulting for yourself, your organization, or your team, you're in the right place.
I'm Claudette Renée Lyons, creator of the LYONS Leadership Method, a structured coaching methodology for executives, founders, and senior leaders operating under high complexity, high visibility, and high stakes.
My background spans emergency medicine, clinical hypnotherapy, and human performance psychology. That combination gives me a working understanding of how people perform — and break down — under pressure, and how to systematically rebuild focus, decision-making, and composure when the cost of failure is real.
Executive Coaching for Leaders Operating Under Sustained Pressure
Today's leaders carry more complexity, scrutiny, and decision load than in previous eras. My coaching practice is built specifically for people operating in that environment. Core focus areas include:
-
Executive presence and communication effectiveness
-
Decision-making under time pressure and incomplete information
-
Cognitive load management and mental clarity in high-stakes settings
-
Stress physiology and emotional regulation for sustained performance
-
Communication authority and influence in negotiations and leadership settings
-
Behavioral consistency under scrutiny (media, board, public-facing roles)
This work is designed for leaders whose decisions affect organizations, teams, and outcomes at scale — where performance under pressure isn't optional.
What Makes This Approach Different
Most executive coaching focuses on skills and frameworks applied externally. My approach works at a different level: the underlying cognitive and physiological patterns that produce — or undermine — consistent executive performance.
Drawing on clinical training and applied psychology, I work with clients to:
-
Identify and interrupt counterproductive behavioral patterns formed under past stress or trauma
-
Reduce cognitive interference (rumination, threat-response overactivation, decision fatigue)
-
Strengthen self-regulation under pressure using techniques drawn from clinical and performance psychology
-
Recalibrate stress responses so composure holds in high-stakes situations
-
Build consistent, repeatable communication and presence, rather than performance that depends on mood or circumstance
This is the foundation of the LYONS Method: a structured, repeatable process rather than generic motivational coaching.
Methodology
As a former emergency medicine physician and certified clinical hypnotherapist, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to leadership development that draws on:
-
Applied neuroscience — understanding how the brain processes threat, stress, and decision-making under pressure
-
Performance psychology — techniques used in high-stakes performance fields (medicine, elite athletics, emergency response) adapted for executive contexts
-
Clinical stress-regulation techniques — including evidence-informed relaxation and cognitive-focus methods drawn from clinical hypnotherapy
-
Structured communication training — building precision and consistency in high-visibility communication (boardrooms, negotiations, public settings)
The goal is measurable: sharper decision-making, more consistent composure under pressure, and communication that holds up under scrutiny — not a subjective feeling of transformation.
Who I Work With
My coaching and consulting engagements are designed for:
-
CEOs and founders
-
Executive directors and senior public-sector leaders
-
Investors and board members
-
High-responsibility operators in high-visibility roles
-
Organizations seeking leadership development for senior teams
Engagement Options

Client success story ★★★★★ One of the Best Decisions I Have Made in My Personal Life Safe & non-judgmental Felt completely safe and confident from the very first communication Immediate results Saw real change after only one session progress that built with every visit 100% satisfied Broke a lifelong habit that nothing else could touch in just a series of sessions Full review Wayne H. I had been battling a lifelong habit that, no matter what I tried, I could not seem to quit. It hindered me from feeling truly good about myself and that was the worst part. After finding Claudette Renee Lyons on LinkedIn, I decided to contact her about hypnotherapy. From our very first communication, I felt safe and confident that Claudette truly wanted to help me. She was kind, non-judgmental, and above all, extremely friendly and her friendliness was the part that sold me on booking a series of sessions. We worked on a budget, a time frame, and my goals for the therapy. She gathered some personal information and we set our first appointment. I was still in a stage of wonderment about whether hypnotherapy would work but in short, it was totally amazing. After only one session, I saw immediate results and felt more confident about what I was trying to accomplish. She provided me with a digital copy of our session so I could continue to gain insight from her techniques between visits. The second session only solidified my progress — and so on. I am 100% satisfied. I would recommend her hypnotherapy treatment for anyone who wants to get over a tough issue, make progress with a difficult relationship, or get help with any troubled part of their life. She is super encouraging and wonderfully skilled with her treatment. Thank you so much! WH Wayne H. Verified hypnotherapy client · Found via LinkedIn ★★★★★ Ready to experience results like Wayne?
