Our vision:
Inspired Leadership Academy empowers every business and all business professionals to move into the new paradigm of doing business — aligning their true life purpose with profitability as well as with people and even with our planet.
For years businesses big and small worked with a profit-centered paradigm that now seems outdated and limited. That paradigm led us here: to businesses being disconnected from the communities, to high employees turn around and burnout, to global competition instead of collaboration.
But now a new paradigm is emerging. Companies today must combine profit with a greater goal — a social contract to heal, sustain and nurture.
Talent that is choosing alternative lifestyles and joining the projects and the companies they work in based on their values.
Today we create partnerships and collaboration instead of cut-throat competition. It’s new and exciting and also there is no road map! You didn’t learn this at business school — and neither did your company directors.
We get it! Our founder Maria spent years being educated at MIT, the Sloan School of Business Management, Académie de Cannes, Mahidol University and many more prestigious schools. And she herself burned out on old-school, profit-driven business and this (literally) brought her to her deathbed.
If you’re dying inside with an unexpressed longing to move your life and business to a higher purpose, we’re here to help.
Our mission:
To be the catalyst of change, helping leaders create new models for purpose-filled business operation and growth.
How we help:
Our courses teach:
- The art of leadership — the qualities and distinctions of an effective, inspiring leader.
- Emotional mastery— create a new vision, clear past hurts, trauma, and humiliations, in order to powerfully move forward.
- Inspired vision creation – How being in the flow can generate expansive opportunities for bringing your vision successfully into the market.
- Planning for the dream – How to use your thoughts, feelings and beliefs to create systems and processes that become your roadmap to profitability.
Join us today and energize your vision for change

We all need love, and light, and goodness in our lives, and Maria is that, personified. Each session I have with her completely changes my energy, how I feel, and how I present myself to the world. Maria was instrumental in getting me through the death of my brother and giving me the courage to follow my dreams. I now have a career I love and lightness in my heart. I can't recommend her enough!

I've been in the finance industry. I met Maria through a very dear friend who recommended her. I'm curious by nature and I love exploring different modalities for becoming a stronger leader. Maria's method is very unique. She brings something that I haven't seen anywhere else and it allowed me to fast-track into results. Maria really helped me get clarity and focus and understanding. She supported me in bringing a structure to my dreams and aspirations. Her coaching is very intense and she is committed to her work and her teachings. Maria really watches out for you, and takes care of you and she's really hands-on. As a result, I have managed to find inner peace and feel calm.
Sierra Sullivan
, Entrepreneur and group organizer,
I was amazed that in a such short period of time, Maria was able to support me in discovering the tools and techniques that I needed to understand the challenges I was facing. Maria helped me understand that I am actually more of a “sensitive” person than I knew myself to be and that masking my sensitivity with my “tough girl” attitude was causing difficulties in my worklife, my relationships, and also causing my body to break down. Now I am able to work better, and feel better too!

It has been a unique privilege to work with Maria over a period of several months. My experience with her taught me how to move energy as a way of being. It has been an ongoing practice and I follow her teachings and steps she taught me in my daily practice. In the process I have learned to fall in love with myself and with my life! I find that the most precious and effective aspect of our collaboration was definitely our one-on-one conversations and I highly recommend the private coaching. Maria is unique in her work.

Maria is one of those special people who can question, challenge, and guide you to fix and upgrade your mind and body. From my experience, I can describe her as a “Brilliant Blindspot Doctor” - she can spot and highlight your blindspots from a mile away and also go on to help you fix them. The problem could be anywhere - business, life, mind, body, or brain - Maria will have an insight that you don’t want to miss.

Maria has been blessed with gifts that she is generously using for healing! In our interactions she touched me with her kindness, humanity and warmth! I am happy that a woman healer of your abilities exists on the planet at this time. It gives me hope for the future!

Maria is a kind person with tremendous energy and love. She really did her best to help and guide me The energy within her was so powerful and peaceful, I felt much inspired and encouraged during our sessions. Her words were with wisdom and love that could touch your heart. You could probably read similar words in books or online. However, you might never feel connected to them. Every time I reviewed the sessions we had, I picked up some new wisdom. She really helped me clear my obstacles to success, wealth, and abundance, and changed my view of the world and life. I was confused, hopeless and aimless when I came to her. Now I feel so inspired, hopeful and confident, and I am ready to create the life of my dreams.

Just by hearing her voice you will experience a profound shift in your energy, that could alone, change everything for you. I consider her a precious part of my team and highly recommend working with her.

My wife and I have participated in a program with Maria. Maria had shown incredible insight as a mentor and intuitive coach. Her guidance and support made it possible for us to achieve our goals and dreams in a very short time. She was very helpful to keep us on track with our goals.
Luisa Morrone

I was lost but now I am found thanks to Maria! Maria helped me pinpoint some of the limitations in my life and how they were impacting my business. Her probing questions have had me dig deep within myself to face my limiting beliefs and to find my strengths. She has empowered me to make the best decisions for me, for my business, and my clients with confidence. With her guidance I have become a true leader tapping into my authenticity, serving others with integrity and following ethically my values. Maria has assisted me to dream; to dream BIG! Maria has helped me trust myself and unleash my full potential. Maria’s wisdom and her teachings touch one’s soul so deeply that you are changed forever.

Maria Kellis has a gift. She can see right through your soul and projects compassion into your heart. Her presence can be called “holy” and her words are loving. I’ve had the privilege to work with Maria for a few years. Her clairvoyant gifts, fascinating diverse life and sharp intellect help to provide for a very intense experience. Our lives can be complicated and she is here to help us solve the puzzles. Sometimes we need more than just a shoulder to cry on, we need to be challenged, to be seen, to be pushed to evolve. Thank you Maria for sharing your gifts and helping me be a stronger, more loving, more integrated being.
