Meet Our Founding National Leadership Team

The Center for Coaching Strategies' Founding National Leadership Team brings together educators, coaches, nonprofit leaders, and changemakers from across the United States who share one common purpose: strengthening the adults who support children, families, and communities.

Together, our Leadership Teams are designing innovative initiatives, building strategic partnerships, and advancing the Human Sustainability Initiative™ through collaboration, coaching, and community-driven leadership. Rather than following a traditional board model, we've created a relationship-centered leadership network where ideas are nurtured, leaders are supported, and meaningful change begins from within.

Explore our Leadership Teams, discover the people behind the vision, and follow our journey as we build a national movement one relationship, one initiative, and one community at a time.

An informational graphic titled 'Center for Coaching Strategies' with the subtitle 'Working Together. One Mission.' It outlines three sections: 'National Board' with responsibilities like protecting the mission and overseeing the executive director; 'Committees' focusing on projects and expert contributions, with details about their structure; and 'Executive Director and CEO' responsible for operations, staffing, partnerships, and translating strategy into results.
