CHART YOUR COURSE TO AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve fulfilled society’s expectations and checked all the boxes

 

You excel at work, have great friends and family, and hobbies you enjoy

 

Yet, you still feel unfulfilled

 

You know there is something more inside of you to share with the world

 

And have untapped potential that you haven’t expressed

Imagine your life 5 years from now…

Scenario 1

continue down the same path, living up to external expectations and old conditioning

Scenario 2

start listening to the secret dreams that have been calling you and taking consistent action

Which path will you choose?

Spirit Drivers Mastermind is a 1-year, transformational journey for high-achieving professionals to tune into your spirit calling, create a step-by-step action plan for your extraordinary life, and take consistent action

The #1 regret of the dying is:

“I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, and not what others expected of me.”

Spirit Drivers is a place to create that life for yourself.

TESTIMONIALS

“The Spirit Drivers program was an amazing experience. Elise and Gregg are great teachers. They truly care about helping people maximizing their potential. 5-star review!”

“Spirit Drivers is an excellent tool for professional (and personal) growth. The community you develop with your group and the feedback available not only from them but from the leaders of the program are invaluable. The program is a shot in the arm of encouragement and direction.”

“Elise and Gregg bring together a masterful experience for both personal and professional growth. From mindfulness to accountability and weekly challenges, I felt I had not only a powerful toolset to work from, but tangible elements and a supportive group to implement into my daily life. With world and personal events of 2020, I felt I needed guidance and mentorship to lead me on a positive path into this “next normal” – this gave me just that. Highly recommend and already looking forward to the next session!”
