The Center for Visionary
Leadership was founded by Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson in
1996 as a non-denominational educational center to help people
develop the inner, spiritual resources to be effective leaders and
respond creatively to change. Our purpose is to develop and
support values-based visionary leadership in all fields of human
endeavor, especially business and politics. We offer
educational programs on spiritual development and social change, and
a free monthly electronic newsletter with articles, spiritual
practices, and featured Visionary Leaders. Our approach is based on
the Ageless Wisdom, the golden thread that connects the deeper,
inner teachings of the world’s spiritual traditions. We are
non-partisan, transcending old categories of left and right and
creating a new, practical synthesis. Based in the Washington
D.C. and San Francisco areas, we offer an environment of heartfelt
dialogue with an intellectually stimulating community of
professionals. We offer seminars for the general public, and
provide customized trainings, consulting and coaching to a wide
variety of business, government and non-profit organizations.
