As the eldest daughter of two Air Force active duty parents, Chikara had the privilege of being born and raised in several states and countries in the United States and Europe. Her exposure to a variety of cultures and people at such an early age ignited her passion for understanding  how relationships, communities, social groups and institutions impacted herself and the people around her.

Her time in Washington D.C. allowed her to complete her ROTC curriculum at Howard University while earning her undergraduate degree at Georgetown University.

Being commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force, weeks after her college graduation positioned her to take on leadership roles immediately. While working as a lieutenant at Seymour Air Force Base in North Carolina she successfully mobilized and led administrative functions in support of large military squadrons. As a team leader and trusted advisor to military leaders, she worked tirelessly to transform the lives of the airmen she managed, streamline and innovate administrative programs and advise experienced military leaders as they worked to manage dynamic and strategic organizations. Supporting a squadron of Air Force fighter pilots as her first role right of out college, set the foundation for a career of incredible and transformational twists and turns.

Her desire to pursue a career in the corporate world led her to spend the next 18+ years leading at some of the most well known companies in the nation, and ultimately the world. Her experiences have spanned a number of industries as she led teams and supported executives at a number of of well-known national and global companies including  Westinghouse Electric Company, Toshiba, Ernst and Young, and Meta (formerly known as Facebook) Her career led her from relocating to North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Tokyo, Chicago, Kansas City and Washington DC.

After an unexpected but amicable divorce in 2022, Chikara was stunned off when she was laid off from Meta in 202 after nearly 5 years of a what she considered to her dream job.While it felt like her world was crumbling, Chikara was forced to re-examine her passions, her path and what she wanted next from her career, her relationships and her life. 

Her pursuit of the next step in her path continues and she’s leveraged transformational coaching and the pursuit  of personal and spiritual development as she continues to transform all areas of her life. Personally, she’s worked with transformational coaches and therapists to help her identify and release past traumas and focus on creating the relationships and lifestyle that truly aligns with her passionals. Professionally, she’s transitioned from coaching senior executives in a corporate setting to facilitating transformations as people transition in all aspects of their life all around the world. She offers 1:1 and group coaching and will begin hosting retreats around the world focused on empowering people for their personal transformations.

In this podcast, Debra Kasowski discusses vulnerability—a topic that sometimes makes people uncomfortable—but it is where the magic happens! Vulnerability is not about oversharing, venting, or airing out your struggles. It is a powerful tool, a strength, and a way to connect with others. True strength is not about having it all figured out. It is about being willing to be seen as you are, in the process, in the journey.
