Alicia's Story
"When Jesus interrupted my atheistic existence, He immediately began sending me mentors. Now, one of my great joys is being a Spiritual Mentor to leaders who long for a confidential place to attend to the interior: leaders who know that what humankind sees will forever be less important than what only God can see. The true Mentor is always Jesus. My hope is to be a master follower."
Though many know Alicia as an author and speaker, the heartbeat of her service always been intentional investment in the spiritual formation of leaders. As a mentor she is known for her discernment, wisdom, and penetrating questions. One seasoned statesman described her as having, “the head of a lawyer and the heart of a poet.” Another pastor captured the impressions of many when he said, “My first thought was, Alicia has such a gentle spirit. My second thought was, I think she just removed my appendix!”
Alicia has been mentoring learners and leaders around the globe with her presence and her pen for over thirty years. Since 2011, she has served as the founding director of Leadership Investment Intensives, a 501c3 non-profit devoted to providing customized soul care to invest in leaders’ spiritual lives and legacies. Those who have walked alongside of Alicia agree that sustainable nearness with God is her life-message.
Alicia holds a DMin in Leadership and Spiritual Formation (George Fox Evangelical Seminary), an M.A. in TESOL (University of Texas, Austin), and a B.A. in Plan II/Pre-Law (University of Texas, Austin). To learn more about Alicia, visit her website at www.aliciachole.com

“The 7th Year fundamentally changed my life because of Alicia’s love and leadership and the intentionality of the material.”
"I highly recommend this experience, particularly for those who are leaders. Alicia's genuine personality and love for the Lord make her a powerhouse in the Kingdom and a tremendous coach and friend."
"I’ve grown so much- not only in my relationship with Jesus but in my awareness of His presence in my life. It’s definitely brought this strength to my core and where I’m leading from as a local church pastor."
"As a professional whose career involves constantly giving to others, I was feeling drained, burned out…Through the7thyear I was refreshed and felt stronger, with a fresh perspective that motivated me to love God more and pursue a deeper relationship with Him.”
