We make the workplace more human by supporting leaders to build self-awareness and exercise self-leadership.

That strong personal foundation has rippling affects, addressing many of the typical challenges leaders try to tackle head-on.


Emily Parcell

Founder & Lead

Driven by a passion to make the workplace more human, Emily's work as a design leadership coach and facilitator focuses on how strong leadership, process, and culture support teams to do their best work. She specializes in helping leaders navigate work with confidence by applying design skills such as creative thinking and an experiment-oriented mindset.

Her commitment to helping design leaders honor their authenticity and show up with self-assurance was born out of her struggle to fully belong in the design community. Especially as a serial career changer, she has experienced the power of transformation from coaching and loves sharing in that journey with others.

Her approach is informed by a decade in user experience design, having led teams to design digital products for DIRECTV, Macy's, Verizon, and Automation Anywhere. She is a graduate of the Co-Active Training Institute and Arizona State University.
