Lindsay Parker
Soulful Leadership Coach & Facilitator
​
​
Welcome. I'm Lindsay. I am lucky enough to call Banff, Alberta, Canada my home, and I share my space with my partner and our two adopted cats, Gizmo and Flash (who do not at all like each other, even after two years). I'm an ACC-level certified Integral Coach and leadership development guide.
​
In no particular order, I live for hiking, staring in awe at nature, baking, cats, and actively working to expand consciousness in myself and others.
​
My purpose is to help leaders rediscover their inherent greatness, to see that they are brilliantly bright leaders with everything they need already within them.
​
This wasn’t always my purpose. I spent 15 years in traditional leadership development and coaching. You know the kind: skill-building, fix-your-weaknesses, change-is-hard-and-takes-a-long-time leadership development.
​
I slowly became disillusioned with the work because I wasn’t seeing sustained change or transformation. Leaders seemed to stay stuck in their patterns, even when they could clearly see those patterns weren’t serving them.
​
I was no different. I was also stuck in old patterns. Every day felt like a grind, but I stayed in my safe little corporate world of leadership development doing the same old things.
​
I looked everywhere outside of myself for things to find relief and more meaning. I read all the books, took courses, watched TED Talks, but none of it seemed to work.
​
The only thing I hadn’t actually tried was deep, inner work. I resisted for a long time because it seemed too fluffy and impractical. But eventually I threw my hands in the air and gave it a try.
​
It’s no exaggeration that it transformed my life.
​
By looking inward, I finally saw there was nothing missing in me, nothing broken or in need of fixing. I became aware of how I was viewing the world and its impact on my experience. I realized that by creating stillness and connecting to my inner wisdom, the answers I’d been looking for outside of myself were within me all along.
​
Slowly but surely, I began to experience more energy, less attachment to thoughts and emotions, creative flow, ease and what I now realize is a sense of calm, inner peace. I emerged with a clear vision for supporting leaders in a completely different way.
​
Here’s the thing: I’m no more special than you. If there is nothing broken or in need of fixing within me, it’s equally true of you. And if I already have everything I need within me, so do you. You’ve just forgotten or lost touch with those parts of yourself.
​
But when you rediscover it, you will unleash the leader within and lead without limits.
​
And it’s not as complicated or hard as you might think.
​
If you’re ready for a drastically different approach to leadership, I’m here to guide you back to your innate leadership greatness.
