Road Openers is...
Our Story
In 2020, award-winning Detroit artist collective The TETRA graciously dubbed Priya a “road opener.” Honored, Priya was inspired to identify other road openers in her personal and professional life—heart-centered leaders with imagination who use their know-how, resources and relationships to inspire and actively help others to dream of new destinations and open pathways to them.
Road Openers, LLC, synthesizes this organic practice of Priya and her fellow road openers to amplify the achievement and positive impact of visionaries and doers around the world.
Our Approach
At Road Openers, we center human connection and holistic approaches to being and doing. Often, we need to go inward to go onward. Road Openers will wade in deep with you to help you clarify and achieve your mission.
​
We prioritize the relational over the transactional and offer a tailored approach to each individual or organization.
​
Time. Energy. Money. Access. Know-how. These factors can be keys to our success or common barriers en route to our destination. We get it because we’ve been there, and we use our experience and relationships to ease your path.
