A profound & practical approach

Our work is rooted in ontology, the study of being. We look at what it truly is to be human: The values we live by, the heroic journey we are each here to take, and, ultimately, the gift to others we want to be known for. Our approach is:

Universal: Our approach is grounded in principles found across spiritual and secular traditions, from ancient wisdom teachings to the latest research in neuroscience.

Pragmatic: We turn timeless wisdom into an elegant framework of tools and practices for living your values, realizing your vision, and empowering others.

Transformational: Our rigorous approach teaches you how to create lasting shifts in the way you see and do things – long after the high of an “aha” moment wears off.

Compassionate: Our approach honors the wholeness and dignity of every person, and affirms our capacity to move beyond external obstacles and internal limitations.

Socially conscious: As we support people to see their greatness, they naturally turn to the contribution they are here to make, to their community and to the world.

What They Say

Kristine Rose

The Academy Foundational Training was the most transformative experience I’ve ever had. I’ve always struggled with overthinking, not trusting my decisions, and feeling anxious around people until ACE coaching taught me how to shift my focus, and how to shift my brain to know what authentic actions I need to take next. Such a simple but powerful tool that I know everyone can use to add more ease to their life. I recommend it for anyone needing more clarity in their life on how they want to show up or if you’re wanting life to be easier.

Ruth Connell, Actor

This work has made an incredible and indelible difference in my life for the better! Maria and the other Course Leaders' calm manner, unbelievable patience, and huge experience has helped redirect my attitude towards making the best contribution in this life that I can. I've not only achieved significant goals in our time together but have so with more clarity, focus, ease and grace. Joy is a great side effect of these teachings.

Mazin Jamal, Coach, Artist, and Community Organizer

This course guided me gently, slowly, and with care, to see what stood in the way of my success and fulfillment. At times it was totally uncomfortable, but the whole time, it was safe and well-led. The opportunity to leave with more confidence and trust in my voice of wisdom than ever before was completely priceless. I came with five teammates from my organization, and we were all extremely skeptical. We all signed up for the next course.

Pakou Her, Senior Campaign Director of UltraViolet and former Executive Director of 18MillionRising.org

Trust me, I’ve been through a lot of coaching, leadership, and professional development trainings, but this one really left a mark. I have honestly applied at least one thing I learned in this training *every day* since. For all you project-doers, dream-havers, business-starters, and change-makers out there, I highly encourage you to check out the training yourself.

Bengt Kallenberg, Executive & Career Coach

This work has taken my coaching to a new level and created a lot of energy in my life. I gained a deeper understanding about how I was getting in my way as a coach. The tools I learned have helped me as a coach and in my daily life, and as a result, I've been able to help my clients shift from their self-limiting thoughts to what´s most important to them.

Anna Wagner, Senior National Organizer at Greenpeace USA

This was life-changing. I use the tools *every day*. It’s helped me see my purpose more clearly than ever, move beyond comparison and resignation, and deepen my self-care practice. I’ve done MANY leadership trainings and seminars but this stands out from the crowd, because the tools are so elegant and practical.

Mattie Weiss, Training Director at Educators for Excellence

The best part for me is the applicability of the tools and the ongoing support, which I have used every single day, in multiple ways, in the time since the training. My life has been irrevocably changed by the ideas I digested and commitments I made in this training.

Seth Bush, Grassroots Organizer at Sierra Club

This course radically changed the way I do my work. This training provided me with a set of skills to move past my most familiar reactions to change, and tap into a lasting inner fortitude that has me committed to my work for the long haul. And the best part is that I've gained a community of practice that has only strengthened over the years.

Refugio Mata, Program Director at Resource Media

Taking this course is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.
