Bio

Kathleen Schafer works at the intersection of individual leadership development, organizational efficacy and social impact. During her 25-year career she has consistently forged new paths as to what it means to lead and how to come together to create change in the world. She offers a fresh perspective on what’s working and what isn’t our political system and what’s needed to move us past the current quagmire to achieve the results we all wish to see in the world.

As a guide, speaker and author Kathleen’s work is shaping the next generation of leaders domestically and internationally. She has coached and taught thousands of current and emerging leaders throughout the world, including those at the highest levels of the United Nations, United States Government, international governments and nonprofits, domestic advocacy organizations and large and small corporations. She continues to be on the forefront of leadership education in emerging democracies as one of the few to teach leadership in the Middle East (Iran, Egypt and Jordan) since the Arab Spring.

With expertise grounded in the rough and tumble world of politics, seasoned in business, honed in academia and broadened by her own journey to create a balanced life, Kathleen communicates compelling wisdom that allows everyone to see solutions and understand how to make it a reality. She has expertise across a range of topics with an emphasis on politics, success in business, teambuilding and “living leadership” as the way for everyone to contribute to a better world. Currently, she works with individuals and organizations that want to create meaningful change in the world.

She is the author of two books, Living the Leadership Choice and Choose to Lead.
