Yael Blum
I am a systems thinker working to attune to the vast complexity, staggering beauty and perplexing uncertainty of our times. I actively source ideas and perspectives that bring ingenuity, heart, and hope to the art of leadership and the practices for developing a talented, engaged, and future-fit workforce.
Since 2003 I have made leadership development and coaching my primary professional focus. A lifelong learner, I source my inspiration and learning from near and far. I have a stack of books on my desk, rely on a circle of wise colleagues for sage advice, and frequent professional seminars and practitioner retreats, whenever I can.

My Commitment
I will strive to ensure our work together is meeting or exceeding your expectations. I will continually endeavor to understand and act on behalf of your unique requirements, and adjust as needed; I will share my expertise and resources in an effective manner; I will be bold and candid in my observations; I will listen to you, learn alongside of you, and ask for clarification when necessary.
Let’s connect
I offer all prospective clients and collaborators a complimentary and confidential mutual discovery call. You (and your team) can explain what you’re aiming for, up against, and hoping to achieve. As the connection unfolds we will decide on next steps and begin scoping the terms of our potential partnership through a more structured line of inquiry.
