Alan Tuckridge is a writer, a guide, and a quiet observer of the human spirit. 

His work centers around one core question: What does it truly mean to lead from within? 

After years of wrestling with fear, doubt, and self-sabotage, Alan began to carve a path toward the kind of inner growth every true leader must walk. 

That path led to his first book, Leadership Spectrum: 7 Layers of Transformation—a heartfelt guide through the stages we all move through as we shift from fear to inner strength. 

To Alan, leadership isn’t about titles or control. 

It’s about presence. 

It’s about learning how to listen to yourself—and becoming the kind of person others feel safe around. 

He writes for those who want to lead with soul, not ego. 

He lives quietly, thinks deeply, and hopes that somewhere, his words might help someone feel just a little more seen. 

Biography 

Alan Tuckridge was born in the small town of Bend, Oregon, to a schoolteacher and a forest ranger. He grew up surrounded by pine trees, rivers, and rolling hills—a landscape that quietly taught him how to listen inward. Raised in a big family, Alan learned early the value of care, presence, and human connection. 

From a young age, he was drawn to middle-distance running, where he discovered the rhythm of breath and ground in harmony. He also found joy in team sports—volleyball, basketball, badminton, and table tennis—anything that reminded him we’re not meant to move through life alone. 

Alan graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in civil engineering. But somewhere along the way, he realized that building outer structures mattered less to him than creating space within. He traded in the drafting table for a dance floor and later trained in movement-based therapy and somatic practices. These days, he leads retreats around the world, helping people return to themselves through freeform movement, stillness, honesty, and simple human presence. 

He’s 45 now and the father of two daughters, with whom he shares a warm, joyful, and deeply connected relationship. Alan lives a nomadic life, having spent recent years in Iceland, Japan, Portugal, and Chile—exploring not just new countries, but new inner landscapes as well. 

His books aren’t lectures, they’re conversations. Not theory, but lived experience. Not instructions, but invitations—to walk the path that begins in the quiet center of your own being.
