In this inspiring episode of Coaching from the Desert, we sit down with Torrie A. Taj, CEO of Child Crisis Arizona, a visionary leader with over 30 years of experience in the nonprofit sector. Under Torrie’s guidance, Child Crisis Arizona has expanded its impact, strengthened its infrastructure, and deepened its commitment to creating safe and nurturing environments for vulnerable children and families.

As a passionate advocate for professional development, Torrie discusses how she is beginning to explore the integration of professional coaching into the organization's culture, not merely as a leadership tool, but as a powerful resource to support staff resilience and empower clients on their healing journeys. In this conversation, Torrie reflects on leading through complexity, embracing innovation, and the potential of coaching as a mechanism for sustainable, human-centered growth.
