Paula Rowland

I support recent college graduates, people re-entering the work force, young professionals, and seasoned leaders to fully embrace purpose and meaning in their work and personal life. Coaching is all about seeing more clearly though the cloudiness of uncertainty – it’s the breakthrough moments that help us reframe and reimagine so we can see a path forward with greater clarity. Drawing from my experience in a broad range of roles in for profit and nonprofit organizations focused on social impact, I partner with individuals, groups and teams to facilitate breakthrough insights that lead to personal and organizational growth and create organizational cultures where people can thrive. I take a strength-based approach in all my work, using approaches that are sensitive to power dynamics and focus on personal and organizational assets. I am comfortable communicating across differences in culture and identity having lived and worked in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. I am an ICF certified coach with a PhD in Comparative International Education and MPH in International Maternal Child Health from UCLA.
