Welcome to Conscious Leadership
Shift Above The Line provides conscious leadership coaching designed to help leaders shift from a place of reactivity, resistance, and threat (below the line), to one of responsiveness, acceptance, and trust (above the line), where creativity, innovation, flow, connection, and collaboration occur best.
Ryan & Alison Webster
Hi, we’re
For over a decade we’ve learned and practiced the principles of conscious leadership and we’re passionate about helping others unlock their potential.
By embracing conscious leadership, you can shift from closed, defensive, and struggling to be right, to open, curious, and committed to learning and growth.
Through personalized coaching, practical tools, and compassionate support, we’ll help you create real, meaningful, and lasting change.
And while we emphasize “conscious” leadership, we’re not talking about some mystical state or realizing a higher truth, but rather being more mindful and aware so that we can take action that improves our work and life.

Creativity, innovation, and collaboration occur best when we operate above the line.
Below the line, its difficult for them to occur at all (survival trumps high-level problem solving).
Leading above the line results in sustainable happiness, which is essential for long-term health, engagement, and success.
Happiness leads to lower stress, better physical health, and lower cost of healthcare.
Above the line creates higher engagement and higher engagement environments.
