Sophia's Team
Allison Conte, MS, Founder
Allison’s mission is to help humanity balance the Masculine/Feminine energies, engage spirituality, honor the sacred Earth, and use power wisely.
At Harvard Business Publishing, Allison is an instructor of leadership development programs. She is also an author, speaker, executive coach, facilitator and consultant.
Allison holds a masters in Positive Organization Development from Case Western Weatherhead School of Management, and a BS in Journalism from the University of Colorado. She has served as a master executive coach in Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management Executive Education Program and has taught on the faculties of the ICF-certified Gestalt Coaching Program, Polarity Mastery Program, and The Integral Center (where she trained facilitators in a practice known as Circling).
Her toolkit includes Integral Theory, Gestalt, developmental psychology (vertical development), and Polarity Thinking. She is a certified Spiritual Intelligence Coach.
Although she considers her spiritual path to be faith-neutral (honoring all wisdom traditions), Allison is personally devoted to the Sacred Feminine and was ordained as a priestess in the Sophia Lineage in 2013. Since 2000, has studied intensively in the areas of integral spirituality, shamanism, energy work and mysticism. Her mentors include La'ne Saan Moonwalker, Ken Wilber, Trevor Hart, Lynda Caesara and Sofia Diaz.
Allison’s paper, “Integral Feminine Leadership: Developing Women Leaders to Lead from Feminine Essence,” co-authored with Susan Cannon, Ph.D., serves as the theoretical basis for the Sophia Leadership Program. It made its debut at the International Leadership Association’s conference on women’s leadership in 2015.
She is co-author of two books, The New Feminine Evolutionary and Pioneering the Path to Prosperity. She is also developing a book project based on her work in feminine spirituality and leadership.
