Why I created True Luminary

Your Genius Deserves Experienced Mentoring, Proven Methods and People Who Have Your Back.

I've spent more than 20 years helping Transformation Leaders design, fill and deliver programs that change lives.

For 13 years, my business partner and I built Lucrative Luminary Training. We generated more than $50 million in revenue and helped tens of thousands of workshop, retreat and seminar leaders bring their work to the world.

When the pandemic hit, we hit pause. I stepped back to spend more time with my daughter.

When I was ready to return, I began consulting as a Fractional CMO for several multimillion-dollar transformation companies. I designed strategic marketing campaigns and filled countless live and virtual programs. I led teams and directly advised my CEO clients.

I loved the work. But something about our industry was starting to bother me.

AI-generated fluff. Racing to seven figures at all costs. Stories of shady sales practices. And programs that weren't creating the transformation they promised.

That last one really bugs me.

Meanwhile, thoughtful, experienced leaders were overwhelmed and felt more alone than ever. Many questioned whether they were cut out for entrepreneurship at all.

That's why I came back to create True Luminary. I want to help the leaders most worthy of influence get more of it.

In True Luminary, you'll find time-tested, proven methods and honest mentoring. You'll find peers who care as much about their work (and the state of the world) as you do.

True Luminaries were never meant to build alone.

So if you're brave enough to want to build a better world, welcome home.

Your work changes lives. Enrolling clients is harder than ever.

Even experienced coaches and program leaders are navigating:

  • More effort to fill programs. Approaches that worked for years aren't bringing the same enrolment. Ad costs keep climbing. Filling a program takes more money and more time.
  • More places to reach your people. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, podcasts, ads, email. It's hard to know where to focus, and leaders feel overwhelmed.
  • More to do. Little room to grow. Marketing, fulfilment, systems, team management. The business was meant to support the life they want. Instead, life now revolves around the business, with less time for family, hobbies and passions.
  • Shrinking profit margins. Costs and workloads keep rising while income stays the same. Leaders are working harder and keeping less.
  • More competition, more noise. AI makes it easy for anyone to launch a course overnight. Experienced leaders with real results get lost among louder, flashier offers.
  • Programs that need to evolve. What clients want has changed. Knowing what to include, how to structure it and how much support to offer isn't always clear.

It's more critical than ever to build a clear plan that gets your expertise to the people who need you.

Mentoring with Callan

You were never meant to be alone in your mission.

Building a business in isolation doesn't work for changemakers. The tech, tactics and tasks drain the joy from the human-centred work that's meant to light us up.

That's why I mentor Transformation Leaders in two ways.

Personal group mentoring in the True Luminary Community Accelerator gives you direct access to my strategic advisory, plus a circle of peers who collaborate, cheerlead and challenge one another all the way to success.

Private mentoring in the True Luminary Inner Circle gives your vision my full, one-on-one attention.

Together, we're stronger.
