Our Story

Shakti and Alan met while working at an international consulting firm. Being seasoned consultants and business professionals who had similar foundational training they quickly established mutual respect and appreciation for each other and their unique gifts, skills, and talents.

Alan saw Shakti as a powerful woman employing a unique combination of calmness and grace in the business world. She exhibited remarkable skill, clarity, and understanding for and with the distinctions of the consulting we were engaged in. She easily connected with all those she worked with, colleagues and clients alike, making her highly effective in supporting and nurturing every person to pursue their best selves. 

Shakti was so impressed with Alan’s presence and demeanor. Alan has a gift of seeing the bigger picture and can articulate precisely what is needed at any given moment both with clients and with colleagues.  Alan always sees the best in people and empowers them to be their authentic selves.

After they both left the firm, they connected on a deeper level. Alan first hired Shakti as his coach, specifically to assist him in developing a deeper understanding of who he was and what he was called to do. This coaching centered around developing a rich spiritual understanding and connection in a way that Alan had never previously explored. Over a four-plus year time together Alan has been working diligently on building his spiritual muscles and practices.

During this time together, Shakti revealed to Alan her vision of creating a leadership program focused on supporting leaders in building the confidence to integrate their spiritual side with the leadership, ie. creating the Oneness of Spirit and Leadership. While Alan communicated trepidation for being her partner in this pursuit, Shakti took a stand that Alan was the perfect partner both because of his global view, and business acumen as well as being in the earlier stages of his own spiritual awakening. Simply said, Alan represented those we are committed to serving.

In 2024, we set off to bring forth what they now call the Enlightening Leaders Journey. The name is very intentional as Enlightening communicates that the process is a mountain with no top, meaning we never arrive at Enlightenment…it is truly a Journey. The Enlightening Leaders Journey is designed to create empowering and deeply connected leaders as an awakening community that stands strong in their connection to Spirit representing the pursuit of the Oneness of Spirit and Leadership. Hence the Enlightening Leaders Journey was born.
