THE PHILOSOPHY
PAVITRA IS A SANSKRIT WORD MEANING SACRED
At Pavitra Leadership, we hold a simple but profound belief:
All leadership is a partnership between the practical and the divine.
Between the visible world we live and work in, and the unseen world that shapes our values, intuition, and inner knowing.
Leadership, as we see it, is not confined to titles, hierarchies, or institutions. It is not reserved for CEOs, politicians, or executives alone.
Leadership is how you show up in your everyday life.
Whether you are a cook in a cafeteria kitchen, a janitor in a public school, a healthcare worker, an entrepreneur, or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, there is a leader that exists within you.
At Pavitra, we invite you to ask a deeper question:
Are you living as your true sacred leader in your day-to-day life?
Our work is about awakening that leader, the one rooted in integrity, presence, courage, and alignment, and learning how to embody it in the ordinary moments that shape an extraordinary life.

Her professional background spans finance and sales, with the last 8 years spent in senior leadership roles. Alongside her corporate journey, Sherisse has walked a profound path of personal healing and spiritual growth. For years, she believed business and spirituality needed to remain separate.
However, when you are on a true spiritual journey, there is no separation; it becomes an integral part of who you are. Pavitra is the expression of that integration.
The Story
Pavitra was born at a moment of quiet reckoning.
One night, as I was reflecting deeply on my own path, a question surfaced that had followed me for years:
How do I integrate the two worlds that have shaped me most? The world of business leadership strategy, structure, responsibility, and the spiritual and personal work that has guided my inner life.
In the stillness of that moment, the answer arrived fully formed.
What if leadership did not require us to choose between the practical and the sacred?
What if a new way of leading could exist, one that honoured intuition alongside intellect, alignment alongside achievement?
That night marked the beginning of Pavitra.
A vision for how leadership could be lived differently, not only in businesses, but in governments, organizations, schools, healthcare systems, and everyday life. A way of leading that allows us to meet daily challenges while remaining in relationship with the divine.
Pavitra exists because this work belongs everywhere.

THE WORK
Today, we hear the phrase everywhere: “Do the work.”
But what does that actually mean?
At Pavitra, the work begins with willingness.
The willingness to look honestly at ourselves, including the parts we may not be proud of.
Not with shame.
Not with self-punishment.
Not through harsh inner narratives or limiting stories.
But with compassion, curiosity, and truth.
Leadership requires the courage to see ourselves clearly, to acknowledge where we have been, where we are, and where we are being called to grow. This is not a process of perfection; it is a journey of learning, evolution, and acceptance.
Acceptance does not mean resignation.
It means meeting yourself exactly where you are, without denial or judgment, and choosing alignment from that place.
This is the work of Pavitra.
A sacred journey of leadership lived, embodied, and practiced one day at a time.
Welcome to Pavitra.
Welcome to the work.
FROM THE
FOUNDER
What can I say about Sherisse Alexander?
For most of my life, in one way or another, people identified me as a leader. The truth is, I didn’t see it.
I didn’t recognize the leader within myself until my early forties. And even then, it wasn’t until a few years later that I began to truly feel like a leader in my own life.
I have played many roles in this lifetime: wife, mother, sister, solopreneur, and entrepreneur. Each one, in its own way, has asked me to lead. Not always publicly. Not always confidently. But always authentically.
What I have learned is this:
Leadership is not something we step into once. It is something we grow into, again and again, as life calls us forward.
My commitment to you is simple and sincere.
I will hold space for you to be open, honest, and vulnerable. I will support you in uncovering the answers that already live within you. And I will walk alongside you as you learn to trust your own leadership in your life, your work, and your becoming.
This is my commitment to you.
And it is the heart of Pavitra.
