Alan spent severial years sitting with sages in India, blending his personal search with his love for the corporate adventure.
These two territories had appeared to be incompatible, but in the wake of an event that permanently altered his perception and experience of reality, he realized that these worlds can be united in the domain called leadership.
Alan is a living example among those who know that there is no difference between leadership and personal maturity.

Observing that the leadership community is in the process of expanding their stewardship by demanding and creating a platform for personal development, using his life story as a laboratory.
He sensed that the story of the development and subsequent relaxation of his ego could become both a pointer and an inspiration for others’ awakening.
At the core of Alan’s world is the irresistible challenge and examination of the assumptions upon which people base their lives.
His vision is of infinite possibility.
Many presuppositions that are collectively held by our culture, corporate or otherwise, are responsible for both the lack of leadership and the discontent evident in society today.
Alan has experienced the unwinding of these in his own awakening.
Through his work he supports others to deconstruct assumptions, thus opening the doorway to their own possibility of living as the awakened self.
Alan began this career at Price Waterhouse, where he was responsible for negotiating and structuring merger and acquisition transactions.
Among his clients were IBM, Sunkist, Beckman Instruments, Toyota Motor Sales.
As the senior partner of Shelton, Smith & Townsend, CPAs, Alan joined a CEO resource group called The Executive Committee (TEC), now known as Vistage, and remained a member until he sold his firm. This group included CEOs from Pacific Mutual, Allergan, Landsdale Carr, Vision Streetwear, and Quicksilver.
He holds gatherings for thirsty seekers who have the courage and passion to take a dip in the pool of intense experience.
“Alan helped me gain understanding about my true nature. Call it enlightenment, profound insight, or self-actualization, it is a shift that transformed my life.”
“There’s a new tide rising in the world of leadership. It’s built upon the realization that strategies, techniques, and processes that don’t begin at the level of personal awakening serve as little more than band-aids on the corpus of the status quo. Alan’s message is a rally cry to go deeper and get more personal, then watch the shift that happens on an individual level ripple out to the organization.”
