Allison Conte, MSPODC
Allison Conte serves as a bridge between the worlds of spirituality and leadership.
She is a mystic, a spiritual guide/teacher, and ordained priestess in the Sophianic lineage – and also, she is an executive coach, c-suite consultant, published author and speaker. As an instructor of executive leadership at Harvard Business School, her classes have drawn upwards of 5,000 participants across the globe.
Allison’s business, Sophia Leadership, aims to usher in a new paradigm of peace, equality and environmental sustainability by developing and resourcing the women change-leaders who will lead the way. Sophia Leadership serves women leaders who are advanced in their professional careers AND serious about their spiritual growth. They come to Sophia’s temple to do their deepest soul-work together in sisterhood and, ultimately, to source the power of the Divine Feminine in their leadership—so they can deliver on their mission with impact, alignment, joy and ease.
With her husband, Allison co-founded the Sanctuary for Sacred Union, an inter-spiritual nonprofit in which they serve as spiritual mentors and sacred ceremony guides. Informed by indigenous wisdom, mysticism and Christianity, their work is a blend of shamanic practices, sacred plant medicine, depth psychology and integral spirituality, within the mythos of the universal Christ-Sophia. Their podcast, Pastor & Priestess, is available on all platforms.
Prior to her post at Harvard, Allison served on the faculties of The Center for Creative Leadership, the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, and the Integral Center, and worked as a master executive coach in Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management Executive Education Program. She holds a master’s degree in Positive Organization Development from Case Western Weatherhead School of Management. She is a certified Spiritual Intelligence Coach and Gestalt Practitioner.
She has trained with a number of world-class indigenous wisdom keepers, spiritual teachers, and energy healers.
Grandmother La’ne Sa’an Moonwalker, a lineage holder in the Apache tradition and Allison’s spiritual mentor, has formally recognized Allison as a master teacher.
