For more than twenty years, IMS has delivered a proprietary methodology that rewires, trains, and aligns the nervous system, emotions, and thought strategies to create real-life results. Klein and IMS have worked with more than 80,000 individuals from around the world through both live and online training programs, as well as one-on-one coaching. Clients have included: Boeing, IBM, Dell, Google, Panda Express, Coca Cola and The World Health Organization. Joey is the author of The Inner Matrix: Leveraging the Art & Science of Personal Mastery to Create Real Life Results (April 2021). Klein has been a lifelong learner whose current work at IMS is a synthesis of intense study and practice in several disciplines including meditation, martial arts, psychology, and spiritual traditions. Prior to founding IMS, Joey was an executive with an international personal transformation company, working as a senior trainer teaching practical spirituality and self-mastery programs throughout Japan and Europe. In 2005, he was invited to speak at the International Peace Summit for the United Nations. In addition, Klein’s own journey has taken him from getting a black belt in Okinawa-Kenpo at the age of 14 to be a consecutive three-time world champion martial artist. He also trained privately with Dr. LaWanda Katzman Staenberg (Dr. Lu), a prominent clinical psychologist in LA. Klein ended up doing meditation training for Dr. Lu, while she trained him in recognizing the dynamics of patterns and the sound psychological underpinnings needed to shift them. In addition, he interviewed and studied the work of several Harvard trained neurologists on the brain’s impact on patterns and behavior. As a result of his research, training, and experience, Klein has long been considered an expert on the inner game of performance. His writings have been published in 14 countries. He is the author of the new book, The Inner Matrix: Leveraging the Art & Science of Personal Mastery to Create Real Life Results. Joey has been interviewed for his expertise by a wide variety of media outlets including: CEO World, Self Magazine, INC.com, Yahoo Finance, NBC, CBS and Fox. Joey maintains his own sense of balance by hiking, skiing and biking in the aggressive mountains of Colorado.
