Have you felt off-balance, unfulfilled in your work, and certain there are better ways to collaborate? Are you ready to embrace new ideas and others’ wisdom? I have spent the last 25 years helping people become gainfully employed as well as step off the non-profit and corporate treadmill, find balance, meaning and purpose in their lives, and create the down time needed for renewal and recharging.

Coaching, consultation, and counseling for emerging and seasoned leaders, as individuals or teams, equips you to:

  • Persevere through challenges and crises.
  • Tap internal strengths to better promote resolutions to conflict.
  • Develop an effective team as a caring community.
  • Infuse meaning, purpose and mission in your daily living and working by writing a mission statement.
  • Reconcile protracted conflicts as a Reconciliation Leader.

  • I met Virginia soon after 9/11 as I was looking for help to articulate and live out my heart’s calling.

I knew that I needed to bring these dimensions of me into harmony, and that I wanted to be a peace-builder. I began one-on-one coaching with Virginia, and then entered her certificate program in Reconciliation Leadership. Since then, Virginia has been a lifeline, an important mentor and guide.

This commitment to her own spirituality and connection to God is captured in “My Soul's Journey to Redefine Leadership: A New Phoenix Rises from the Ashes of 9/11”, in which she lives from the inside out, spirit brought into practice in the world, and inspires me to do the same. Reconciliation Leadership has reaffirmed for me the importance of being an integrated human being and the strength and necessity of this integration for the practice of leadership. –Dr. Sarah Sayeed, Reconciliation Leader and Public Servant, New York, New York

  • By going through the steps of the Reconciliation Leadership program, I have learned to listen within for insights and directions and to trust my inner fortitude.  That’s a big plus, indeed, with enhanced confidence as part of the inner journey.  --Gilles Asselin, International Consultant and Reconciliation Leader, Princeton, New Jersey
