Shane + Whitney Kinne

Do you get tired of hearing about work/life balance?
As young professionals in the early 2010s, we found out the hard way that this balancing act between work + life was futile.
So what is the solution to a life that feels crazy? Alignment, not balance.
Aligned: to come together in agreement or alliance
We feel this need for alignment in our work + life. And for 5+ years we’ve been supporting clients to find their unique vision for alignment too.
Aligned Development Group offers clients a thoughtful, professional, human-first perspective on leadership, strategy and growth.
Together, we bring a collective 20+ years in professional careers serving non-profits, small businesses, and high-performing professionals working in rural and agriculture-related industries.
In 2016 we started to shift our own professional and personal paths to align with our core values. Now, nearly a decade later, we are supporting organizations, teams, individuals and couples in the same significant journey.
We facilitate in-person trainings, speak at professional events, coach executives and teams, and help professionals get aligned in work + life.
