In 2008, on his way home after a launch party in New York City for a magazine he had founded, Ravi Shankar was pulled over on the pretense of a minor traffic violation.

As any writer would, Shankar turned to words to make sense of what had happened to him.

Developing your Inner Leader

For awhile Maureen was lost, she was one of 6 children and learned to keep her head down. She developed a herd mentality that taught her to repress her voice and her emotions - she believed that she was happy as a follower. As she got older she continued to push down her voice with alcohol and other drugs. However, her inner voice would not be silenced! After a rock bottom experience she had to take control of her life and emerge from her cocoon. This painful process challenged her to get in touch with her inner landscape. This transformation inspired her to become a coach and help others to emerge, evolve, and lead.
