Aletheia (pronunciation) is a coach training school founded in 2013 by Steve March. We offer professional coach training in a paradigm-shifting next-generation style of coaching called Aletheia Coaching.

Steve March

Steve is the founder of Aletheia and the originator of Aletheia Coaching.

He has been coaching for about 22 years. Before becoming a coach, he worked in the software development field for Motorola, developing their UNIX workstations and as a quality manager and manager of organizational development for Wind River. He primarily works with clients in technology fields and with coaches in Aletheia courses. He was originally certified as a coach by New Ventures West in 2002 and by the Strozzi Institute in 2005. He was on faculty with New Ventures West from 2003 to 2019, the last ten years as a course leader for their certification program. He has taught professional coaching courses in San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C., Boston, Singapore, and London. In 2013, he founded Aletheia to experiment with a new paradigm of self-development and coaching.

He lives with his wife, Donna Chang, in San Leandro, California (within the San Francisco Bay Area). Donna is an acupuncturist and has been exploring integrating Aletheia Coaching with her work as an acupuncturist.

Angie fox

Angie has been coaching and studying with Steve March since 2006, joining Aletheia as a student in 2013, the coaching faculty in 2015, and as a teacher in 2021.

Her initial coach training certification was with New Ventures West, while working at (Genentech/Roche) in the areas of Training, Learning, Leadership and Organizational Development. As an external coach and consultant since 2012, she facilitated programs around change, leadership, communication, feedback, coaching, mindfulness, wellbeing, resilience and trust.   Bringing an unfolding approach to working with groups, she has also supported senior leadership team launches, facilitated team offsite retreats, supported teams through agile transformations with tools like the Enneagram IEQ9 and Leadership circle Profile (LCP), and helped teams strengthen trust and relationships to enhance their effectiveness.  Angie's current career pivot is deepening in the somatic space through study with RADIX, and integrating that into her teaching and coaching and in-person workshops.  She also offers pro-bono and low-cost support to parents through group programs and coaching both through Aletheia and in her local community. 

Angie lives in Pinole, CA, where she and her husband steward 1/3 acre of land, where she strives to be in reciprocal relationship, nurturing the soil that nourishes her back. Every summer, she is blessed with an abundance of elderberries that she loves to share with neighbors, family and friends. She also cares for her two teenagers, who keep her humble and learning daily, 2 dogs, 8 chickens and a pond of fish.  

sHERRI lassila

Sherri has been an executive coach and leadership facilitator since 1998 and has been co-teaching Aletheia Level 1 since 2020. Her original certification was with The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) in 1998, and she later trained in many additional coaching methodologies (including Integral Coaching), as well as other approaches to parts, process and presence work. Sherri’s clients are mostly executive-level leaders in a wide range of companies from tech/biotech start-ups to Fortune 500’s. She also does some career purpose/transition coaching, self-development coaching, and group coaching. In addition to her private practice, Sherri has also developed and facilitated hundreds of leadership and self-development workshops, including year-long cohort-based leadership programs, multi-year women’s leadership circles, and several programs through Stanford Business School, where she was previously a student. Sherri joined Aletheia after a 20+ year path of mindfulness, meditation, transformation, and spiritual growth as she sought a more integrated approach to bridge the coaching she was doing with executives and the deeper self-development work she was doing in more mindfulness-based and spiritual programs. Aletheia has been transformational for her and her clients, and teaching Level 1 has been one of the most rewarding experiences of her career.

Sherri lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA and is a mom of two college-age kids, who continue to train her in many things.

Emma RusseLL

Emma is a Coach and Consultant, as well as a designer and facilitator of leadership development programmes. Prior to coaching, she spent 17 years in the corporate environment—predominantly in finance, commercial, and change management roles. She was a senior leader for over 10 years, working across Europe and Asia.
Emma is a biologist by degree and holds an Executive MBA (Dean’s List) from INSEAD.  She is a certified Integral Coach and a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF.

Emma loves to work with those who are curious to go deeper. She continues to be in awe of how practising Aletheia opens up a deeper, richer, more conscious way to be in the world and to connect with others. She works with executives, entrepreneurs, leaders, parents and teens. Working with Deeply Expanded States, especially through dream work, is of particular interest to her. 

Emma lives in the UK with her husband, James and her two boys, Edward and George. She is amazed at how practising Aletheia with her children has opened up a completely different way of parenting. As an enthusiastic cook and explorer, her favourite places are the kitchen, nature or discovering new cultures and cuisines with her family.

Barbara Pressman

Barbara Pressman joined Aletheia in 2013, shortly after being Certified at New Ventures West and subsequently an ICF PCC coach. She has been a faculty member as a TA and Coach for many years.

Coaching since 2012, Barbara’s career in hospitality gave her the foundation and understanding of people. There she found herself striding through the ranks, breaking through the glass ceiling becoming one of a handful of women General Managers in the Bay Area. As a coach working with top executives and middle managers in high-tech, hospitality, law firms and other customers service-based industries.  Her passion is working with young adults at the university level and through career transitions.

Todd Boone

Todd is an Attunement Coach and, since 2021, has been supporting Aletheia’s students and graduates toward fostering deeply attuned facilitations in their personal and professional practice.  First, as a Naval Cryptologist for the National Security Agency, Todd went on to a career in Investment Banking, where he founded, led, and sold a series of International Capital Markets Consultancies before answering the call to coaching. Participation in the Aletheia training programs and community transformed Todd’s practice and identity as a coach, and he now enthusiastically supports that transformation for other professionals. Ever experimenting, Todd uses his Unfolding Course for non-professionals and Attunement Lab for coaches and therapists to uncover simpler, clearer, easier and relatable ways to share the gift of Unfoldment.
