Answering the Call
We are in the midst of one of the most pivotal rites of passage in human history. With compounding crises that can escalate globally, conscious leadership is no longer optional—it’s essential.
The future is uncertain, and we are being called to grow into higher levels of consciousness. This means embracing uncertainty, developing trust, facing our fears, and healing our pain.
The Leadership Quest is your guide to navigating transformation. You’ll learn how to:
-
Work with paradox instead of resisting it
-
Break free from dualistic thinking
-
Transform complexity and uncertainty into opportunities for emergence
-
Tap into the future potentials of higher orders of reality
This is the foundational course for developing your transformative leadership capacities.
Your ability to hold space for emergence, regeneration, and transformation can be the difference between breakdown and breakthrough.
Through Seven Masterclasses and Seven Conscious Leadership Practices, you’ll gain the knowledge, wisdom, and experiential tools to move through this collective rite of passage.
With Seven Practice Sessions, you’ll also learn to embody and deepen your leadership capacities for both inner and outer transformation.
Join The Leadership Quest and step into the leadership our world needs now.
A Personal Invitation to The Leadership Quest
My life’s work has been dedicated to empowering people and organizations for this pivotal transition—the shift into a new era. Through over two decades of deep inner transformation and Ph.D.-level research in systemic transformation, I’ve uncovered key insights about evolutionary leadership:
-
It begins with developing evolutionary consciousness—understanding the language and intelligence of life's evolutionary process.
-
It’s about weaving inner and outer transformation, especially in times of crisis, uncertainty, and growing pressures.
-
Leadership is not a title or job description—it’s a calling. It’s a journey of initiation into higher states of consciousness, purpose, and service.
During times of profound change, we need support to expand our consciousness, deepen our understanding, and develop our capacities. That’s why I created The Leadership Quest—to guide you through the states of consciousness that activate your evolutionary potential and help you step into a more expanded awareness of life, the universe, and reality.
For years, I’ve facilitated The Leadership Quest online to support leaders, visionaries, influencers, and change agents like yourself in answering the call of evolutionary leadership. This course is more than just a program—it’s a quest filled with transformative resources, practices, and teachings designed to elevate your leadership to entirely new levels.
Most importantly, it will prepare you to embrace your calling as an evolutionary leader—for yourself and for the world.

Dr Jean Houston
internationally acclaimed Author & Founder of the Human Potential Movement
"Dr. Anneloes Smitsman is a leader and pioneer in the development of the architecture of creating civilizations that enhance the wellbeing of both person and planet. In this she is a treasure trove of ingenuity and wisdom. She is one whom leaders in social evolution regard as the person who has the genius to implement the revolutionary solutions and visions that can advance the necessary development of both people and planet. I, as well as many others, regard Anneloes as a female Einstein. I met prof Einstein when I was 8 years old, and he told me that his greatest quality was imagination, a quality which Anneloes shares abundantly and which informs her extraordinary creative gifts. She is a living example of what it means to walk the path of the emerging future human."

What You’ll Learn in The Leadership Quest
Consider this quest your rite of passage—an initiation into evolutionary and conscious leadership. A rite of passage marks a profound transition, opening new realms of possibility and awakening higher states of consciousness that unlock entirely new capacities.
Through The Leadership Quest, you’ll receive the essential guidance and support to take your next evolutionary step. You’ll explore uncharted dimensions within yourself and discover possibilities you may never have considered. This journey will equip you with the capacities to thrive through this transition time, turning challenges into life-enhancing opportunities—not just for yourself, but for the transformation of the world around you.
At the heart of this quest are 7 Conscious Leadership Practices, grounded in the Leadership Alchemy Process I’ve developed over two decades of pioneering work in evolutionary leadership. This process is designed to help you navigate the darkness of transformation—a crucial aspect of profound change.
What is Leadership Alchemy?
Alchemy, the ancient practice of transforming base metals like lead into gold, was always about something deeper—the elevation of consciousness. Leadership Alchemy applies this wisdom to leadership, showing us how to transmute our heaviest and darkest emotions—fear, pain, anger, and division—into trust, regeneration, healing, compassion, and conscious leadership.
During times of transition, this process is essential. It teaches us how to embrace uncertainty, move beyond dualistic thinking, and step into higher states of consciousness where true leadership emerges.
