At The Academy of MotivAction®, we don’t just talk transformation — we live it.

Founded by Irina Alexander and supported by COO Jen Hardy, this Academy was built with one goal: To Restore Human Connection. We blend strategic systems, nervous system science, and real human connection —because change doesn’t stick without all three.

Our Stories

Irina Alexander, Founder & CEO

From the outside, Irina had it all, a successful business, beautiful family and impressive results. Behind the scenes: burnout, self-doubt, and a constant fear of being “found out.”

Her journey into neuroscience and NLP wasn’t a brand move, it was personal. She stripped away the performance and rebuilt from the inside out — finding clarity, capacity, and real joy.

Now, she brings that same direct, vulnerable power to her work,
combining sharp strategy with emotional intelligence to help others lead with truth and impact.

Whether she’s mentoring a founder, training a team, or speaking from stage — Irina makes change unavoidable.

Jen Hardy, COO

Jen looked like the one who had it all handled, high-achiever, always “on,” always giving. But underneath was a deep fear of not being enough, a life shaped by people-pleasing and quiet pain.

Her wake-up call wasn’t loud — it was honest. She realized her worth wasn’t tied to performance, and started doing the work to live like it. Today, Jen is the calm in the storm.

She brings precision, pattern recognition, and grounded nervous system work that helps leaders shift how they move — not just what they do.

Her gift is clarity. Her impact is deep.
She leads people home to themselves, one decision at a time..

Their paths to The Academy of MotivActionⓇ

They met in an NLP training room, two professionals with very different energy, both skeptical, both guarded.

But beneath it all, there was a shared standard:
Do the work. Say the truth. Build something real.

What started as respect turned into partnership.
What started as collaboration turned into a movement.

The Academy of MotivAction® was born from that —
a shared belief that transformation isn’t just possible. It’s required.
And it starts at the top, with the people holding it all.
