"The Old Leadership Paradigm Is Failing—Are You Ready for What’s Next?"

I am delighted to share that the 2025 Unity Academy will be truly international, with sessions in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific. A fitting reflection of its purpose—integral unity. I urge executive leaders, experienced consultants and coaches to read the information on this one-of-a-kind program and let it speak to you. Registrations are now open.

There comes a time in one’s career—whether as an executive leader, an experienced consultant, or a coach—when the nature of expansion shifts. No longer is it about acquiring more skills, refining expertise, or stacking achievements. Instead, a quiet yet undeniable calling emerges—an invitation into something deeper, wider, more profound. You recognize that the question is no longer just “What can I build, lead, or create?” but rather “What is seeking to unfold in the world—not so much by me, but through me?”

We are in an era when the old paradigms of leadership are failing. The world no longer needs leaders who operate from control, separation, and ego-driven, linear, or mind-driven leadership. It requires leaders who can see and lead from wholeness, interconnectedness, and a deeper intelligence beyond the mind. This shift is not just an intellectual one—it is a radical evolution of presence, perception, and being.

I know this because I stood at that threshold.

After 25 years of working with senior leaders across 40+ countries, I had built a body of work I was deeply proud of. And yet, I found myself asking:

What more could there be—of real substance—to grow into?

I enrolled in Unity Academy, not knowing exactly what to expect—only that it felt like a portal to something deeper. I sensed that my work in the world was ready to evolve in ways I could not yet articulate. What I encountered has been, by far, the most profound developmental journey of my life.

What Shifted for Me

I connected with the gifts that had been hidden in my shadow. Shadow work was something I had once viewed as something to manage, even fear—but through this journey, I came to embrace it with compassion and discover the untapped power and creativity within it.

I let go of false humility—an unconscious restraint I hadn’t even realized was limiting me. As I did, I awakened to something greater: a deep recognition of what the world is seeking to occur through me.

I no longer see the world through the lens of separateness. I have come to understand that there is no external, separate reality—only an unfolding invitation in every moment to expand my consciousness, connectedness, and presence.

I still draw upon the decades of knowledge and expertise I have built. But I now access a far deeper perceptual field, one that allows me to engage with leadership, coaching, and consulting from an expanded level of intelligence, insight, and wisdom.

Most profoundly, I have redefined my place and work in the world. On the surface, it may look like I do the same work—but I do it from an entirely different level of being.

I was once known as The Alchemist of Teams. Now, I see that alchemy extends far beyond teams. It is present in every interaction, every system, every moment. It is not something I do—it is something I embody. Alchemy as a way of being.

We cannot solve the challenges of this era with the same level of consciousness that created them. The new paradigm of leadership requires transformation at the level of being—and this is the work of Unity Academy.

This work wouldn’t exist without Robert (Bob) J. Anderson , whose decades of dedication, inquiry, and mastery have shaped Unity Academy into what it is today. His ability to not just teach transformation but continually undergo it himself is rare and deeply inspiring. More on this in the comments.

For those who feel the stirrings of this kind of evolution, the 2025 Unity Academy is not just a program—it is a passage. A passage into the next level of who you are meant to become.

If you feel the call, honor it.
