<h1>ABOUT US</h1>
We are an innovative, woman-owned, for-profit social enterprise dedicated to our mission of <em><strong>revolutionizing the way women live, love and lead enabling them to dynamically shape these rapidly evolving times for future generations.</strong></em> Our mission is achieved through the delivery of our comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking and future-sensing Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ and publication of the forthcoming book <em>The Way of the Mysterial Woman, R-evolutionizing the Way Women Live, Love and Lead.</em>

Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification builds on the suite of women’s integral leadership programs successfully designed and delivered for over a decade by Kore Leadership to hundreds of women in the Seattle area. These continuously improved programs were created, researched, and refined by the Kore Evolution partners and the expertise of tested and trusted core and adjunct faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.

Our work is the culmination of our individual and collective commitment to awakening women’s consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution in the world.
