Human-Centered Leadership Development

Coaching and consulting for reflective professionals and resilient teams

About

With 20+ years leading learning and development initiatives, an MBA, and over 150,000 professionals trained across sectors and continents, I help individuals and organizations align who they are with how they lead. My career has taken me across federal, international, and humanitarian spaces—working with leaders navigating complex and fluid environments and even more complex inner landscapes.

As a certified emotional intelligence practitioner, certified professional life coach, and trauma-informed practitioner, I blend strategic thinking with deep presence. I offer coaching and consulting for thoughtful humans—leaders, seekers, and those ready to live and lead with greater clarity, intention, and empathy.

Coaching

Empowering leaders to deepen self-awareness, strengthen emotional intelligence, and lead with clarity and purpose—balancing innovation with empathy to drive transformational growth.

Consulting

Advising for organizations on the design and implementation of innovative, enterprise learning strategies that align with mission, culture, and measurable outcomes.

8 Core Principles
of Human-Centered
Leadership

Leadership is relational at its core. It’s about how we show up—for ourselves and for others. These principles guide the way I lead, coach, consult, and live.
1. Emotional Intelligence
Great leadership starts with self-awareness, emotional agility, and empathy—the ability to understand and connect with others while managing your own emotions with clarity and purpose.
2. Compassion
Impactful leaders see and respond to the needs of others with care, courage, and respect—balancing empathy with action.
3. Innovation
Human-centered leaders transform empathy into action, co-creating solutions in partnership with those closest to the challenge. Through creativity, experimentation, and design thinking, innovation becomes a pathway to equity, inclusion, and sustainable change.
4. Well-Being
People are more than their roles or performance. Authentic leadership creates the conditions for individuals and teams to thrive—fostering resilience, balance, and renewal.
5. Cultural and Contextual Awareness
Inclusion, equity, belonging, and psychological safety aren’t extras—they are essentials. Effective leaders meet people where they are, honoring diverse identities, lived experiences, and the realities that shape how people show up and thrive.
6. Purposeful, Personalized Growth
Growth is most powerful when it’s aligned with individual values, aspirations, and context—leading to transformation that is meaningful, sustainable, and real.
7. Courage
Human-centered leaders are willing to embrace discomfort, take risks aligned with their values, model vulnerability, and foster trust by showing up as whole people.
8. Adaptability & Resilience
In a rapidly changing world, human-centered leadership demands flexibility without losing integrity. Resilient leaders respond thoughtfully to change, recover from setbacks, and stay anchored to purpose through uncertainty.
