 Alanna
maintains a highly successful practice providing life purpose
and business coaching, career management, leadership development,
employee engagement consulting and recruitment services to
local and international clients. She is also a popular keynote
speaker, television and radio commentator, and author of the
well-reviewed book, Love Made Visible: Values-Driven Approaches
to Work/Life, its title taken from the Khalil Gibran poem
which says that “To labour with love is to know life’s inmost
secret / Work is love made visible.”
Alanna loves leveraging the
power of interpersonal relationships, provocative dialogue,
metaphysical principles and good strategy to improve people’s
experience of their lives. She has become known for integrated
approaches which create awareness and abundance in equal measure,
demonstrating that there is no conflict between deep spiritual
connection and material success. Her next book, Many Hands
Make Light Work: Soul-Driven Approaches to Making a Living
and a Life, is in writing stages now and details stories of
the “callings” to a higher purpose for their work/lives that
so many of her clients have felt and followed. Chapters also
explore her own experiences with following intuitive guidance,
including walking the Camino de Santiago, a Pilgrim’s journey
and literal metaphor for higher consciousness of life path.
Keep your eyes open in 2009 for Alanna’s newly created Spiritual
Business Forum: Enlightened Entrepreneurship with a quadruple
bottom line… People, Planet, Profit, Presence… and its blog
for entrepreneurs and employees alike: www.OptOutOfTheRecession.net.
When she’s not working in her Granville Island office in Vancouver,
Canada, Alanna spends her personal time engrossed in hiking,
travel, meditation and slow food.
