MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Dear Future Coach:
If you are here reading this now, I trust you have noticed a global dichotomy. On one hand, our technologies are skyrocketing humanity to new heights of innovation. On the other hand, our technology is growing faster than our collective emotional intelligence has, causing more issues than we've solved.
Many of us have opted to stop watching the news because of the negative bias and the disheartening reports bombarding us.
The good news is that the truth of what is going on does not have to define the truth of what is possible.
This is where we step in. The truth is that everything in this world is subject to cause and effect. Everything is interconnected. Humanity's most prominent problems exist simply because we have yet to collectively embrace this reality.
That is changing. Positive impacts expand as companies, leaders, communities, and individuals lead more integrated, inner-connected lives.
We also see how coaching skills play an integral role in the positive evolution of human potential. When I was a young girl, I learned that one of my grandfather's grandmothers was a full-blooded Cherokee woman. She had married a full-blooded Irish immigrant who traveled to North America in search of a better life.
That union fascinated me. It even fueled an inner rebellion that prompted me to ask, "Why?"
I discovered that we live in a time of human existence where the wisdom of all global cultures is needed. Ancient wisdom is a bridge to future success. True innovation means we succeed in all areas, not just one (aka monetarily). This type of short-sighted linear thinking is no longer required for future success.
What I also discovered is that coaching is a new form of eldership. When I was growing up, I looked around me and asked, "Where are the elders that existed on my Cherokee grandmother's side?" I looked around me and saw many olders, but where were the elders?
After graduating as a professional coach, I realized that the true elder is within. Coaching is a new form of eldership and leadership where people are beginning to learn from the Highest aspects of themselves.
If integrally informed coaching is something you value being a part of, and if coaching has been calling to you for quite some time now, I invite you to take the leap into your Highest purpose, enter into this amazing profession, and learn through the empowering lens of Integrative Intelligence! I invite you to walk with me.
Our programs start twice a year, in March and October. If you feel called to coach and resonate with what I've shared with you today, we are here to walk with you as you lead from your calling.

- Why were there so many needless racial divides?
- How can something as sickening as sex trafficking even exist?
- Why are there sustainable ways to run businesses, and yet many companies aren't?
