Our Vision
To elevate coaching as a force for human and planetary transformation. We envision a world where embodied leadership, authentic connection, and social equity are the new standard—where coaches guide others not just to perform, but to live, lead, and love with purpose.
Our Why
In an era of disruption, division, and deep transformation, we believe coaching holds the key to reconnection—within ourselves, between one another, and with the planet.
We exist to answer the call for more conscious, heart-centered leadership. As systems shift and the pace of change accelerates, we equip individuals with the presence, tools, and courage to lead through complexity—not by force, but through wisdom, empathy, and aligned action.
Our Mission
We train and certify exceptional coaches who lead from the inside out. Through our globally-recognized coaching programs, mentorship, and community, we develop embodied leaders who ignite meaningful change in their communities, industries, and the world, coaching is more than a career—it’s a pathway to global influence, meaningful impact, and a life designed with purpose.
Our values
Cultural Diversity & Belonging
We celebrate diversity in all forms—cultural, personal, and spiritual.
ALCN classrooms over the years have been microcosms of our world, with people from all walks of life, varying in nationalities, age, religion, background, profession, with diverse values, beliefs and dreams. Part of what makes ALCN so unique is our truly global community. It is the different experiences and perspectives that each person brings that makes our community and our trainings so unique and special.
Freedom & Lifestyle by Design
Coaching is more than a career—it’s a pathway to financial freedom, flexibility, and impact.
ALCN empowers professionals to break free from outdated career structures and create a business that aligns with their values, vision, and ideal lifestyle. We believe in designing a life that is both fulfilling and sustainable, allowing individuals to create success on their own terms.
Commitment to Innovation
We believe in staying ahead of the curve—integrating the latest tools, technologies, and coaching methodologies to meet the world where it is today.
ALCN provides gold-standard, ICF-accredited customized one on one training and mentoring while training cutting-edge AI, business strategies, and digital innovation. Our students are provided a pathway with the most up-to-date skills and strategies, positioning them as leaders in a rapidly evolving industry.
Conscious Connection
Connection is more than communication—it’s a daily practice of attunement to self, others, and the world around us.
To fully know ourselves at the deepest level and to connect with others from that place. This requires slowing down, stepping back, seeing, hearing, feeling and often finding time to be silence. To be able to answer the questions “Why am I here?”, “What am I being called to do?”, “What can I contribute?”. We have to consciously cultivate internal connection.
Embodied Leadership
Leadership is not just about knowledge—it’s about who you are, how you show up, and the impact you create.
At ALCN, leadership is not measured by titles, accolades, or achievements, but by how a person embodies the change they seek to create in the world. True leadership is a way of being. We believe that those who truly make a positive difference are living, breathing examples of the changes they advocate for, and that embodiment ripples into everything they do.
