Make working together work better.
Smart people. Good intentions. Same stuck patterns.
Everyone is doing their best, and somehow working together still feels harder than it should.
4th Wheel Flow works with the conditions people are working inside — the internal, relational, and systemic forces that quietly shape outcomes, whether anyone names them or not.
We help leaders and teams change how they show up. The goal? Make working together work better.
Most organizations invest heavily in strategy, tools, and skills. Those matter a lot.
What they rarely address so directly is state: the quality of attention, nervous system load, and relational dynamics people bring into the room.
Those issues are harder to pin down, and they often get chalked up to the vibes being off.
“The vibes” are subtle energy – and we believe that it’s time for a paradigm shift in how we talk about and work with it.
Fix the vibe.
Find your flow.
Outcomes are shaped by how people show up internally and together. This includes what’s happening:
Within people
Attention, nervous systems, internal tension, clarity, steadiness, and capactiy — the human inputs shaping every choice
Between people
Relational dynamics, unspoken assumptions, misalignment, conflict, and power dynamics — especially what is talked about everywhere except where it matters
Across systems
Organizational patterns, cultural norms, and structural constraints that influence behavior regardless of intent
Change the Field

Cognitive intelligence helps people think.
Emotional intelligence helps people feel.
Energetic intelligence helps people know — what is happening beneath the surface, what states are present, and what conditional changes will actually serve the moment.Each skillset addresses problems that exist on that level. An energetic problem needs an energetic solution, which is why we work with energetic states of being.
-
Our work is informed by decades of research across organizational psychology, leadership development, neuroscience, and systems theory, alongside embodied and experiential practices that make those insights useable.
Modern research consistently shows:State shapes perception and decision quality
Nervous system load affects cognition, creativity, and collaboration
Teams perform better when authority and boundaries are clear
Change sticks when it is practiced, not just understood
We translate this evidence into language, frameworks, and practices people can actually use in real life.
-
Our work shows up in different forms, because change happens at different speeds.
Sometimes the work needs more room; time to practice, reflect, and let new patterns take hold. Sometimes what’s required is partnership; support that stays with you as conditions evolve.
That’s why our offerings range from focused 1-hour experiences to longer-term collaborations. Different formats, same intention: helping people work with what’s really going on, not just what’s easiest to name.
All offerings are grounded in the same core principle: what actually happens is shaped by how people show up internally and together. -
We focus on the conditions people are operating within because that’s where outcomes are shaped.
Functionally, we work at the level of state and relationship:
how attention is held
how pressure gets carried
how meaning gets assigned
how people are oriented to one another and to what’s at stake
We teach people how to:
recognize the state(s) they are operating from
shift that state intentionally
create conditions that allow better thinking, relating, and deciding
We help people notice how they are showing up — internally and together — and give them practical ways to shift that on purpose.
-
Our work resonates most with:
leaders navigating complexity without clear precedent
teams under sustained pressure who cannot afford burnout
organizations tired of repeating the same conversations
people who sense there is more happening than their current language allows them to articulate
If you are willing to work with what is actually happening, and not just what is being openly discussed, this work will make sense.
Energetic intelligence bridges awareness and action.
Better outcomes don’t always come from pushing harder. Sometimes they come from seeing differently. If you’re curious about what could be possible if you could change conditions, we’d love to explore that with you.
