Our Story
Priscilla and Alis, both Life and Leadership Coaches, arrived fashionably late to a high-rise networking event, only to find themselves alone in the elevator for an unexpectedly long ride. They reflected on their global upbringings, discussing how their diverse heritages and past hardships shaped their resilience and purpose. Their conversation naturally flowed into the power of energy and the way it shapes opportunities, drawing in the right people at the right time.
Once inside, they each spoke in their groups about the importance of intentional relationship-building—an insight that resonated deeply with both.
A few weeks later, over an unhurried coffee chat that stretched into two hours, their synergy became undeniable, sparking the creation of a Leadership Mastermind designed to inspire, uplift, and guide others to evolve into their highest potential, just as their chance meeting had done for them.
