Dr. Rosie Ward is an energetic, passionate, compassionate leader, consultant, coach, speaker and author who focuses on transformation from the inside out.

A fierce advocate for humanity, Rosie consults with organizations of all sizes and industries, coaches leaders to be more effective, develops a growing community of Paradigm Pioneers, and serves on the leadership team for the Twin Cities chapter of Conscious Capitalism.

Her first book, How to Build a Thriving Culture at Work: Featuring the 7 Points of Transformation, has served as a blueprint for hundreds of organizations to break past old, outdated paradigms and rehumanize their workplace. Rosie is honored to be among the founding authors of Conscious Capitalism Press for her latest book, Rehumanizing the Workplace: Future-proofing your organization while restoring hope, wellbeing and performance.

A lifelong learner, Rosie devotes herself to her own ongoing development and sharing her insights with others. In addition to having a Ph.D. and numerous coaching, assessment and program delivery certifications, Rosie was trained by Dr. Brené Brown as a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. She is often referred to as a “Ph.D. with a personality” and is known for challenging and inspiring people to think differently about what it takes to become the best version of themselves and for organizations to foster their growth and development. She has an incredible gift for taking complex ideas about culture, leadership, behavior change, and what it means to be human and synthesizing them in a way that makes them relevant, understandable, and meaningful for people.
