M. Cristina Alcalde, Ph.D.
Tired of navigating workplace systems that weren't built with you in mind?
I partner with leaders who refuse the "fix yourself” approach to fit broken systems—and instead thrive by aligning their actions to their authentic values and strengths.
My coaching is grounded in feminist leadership and culture change research, combined with my own experience as a senior leader navigating these very systems.
As a certified leadership and executive coach, widely published scholar, and former senior administrator, I create space for you to explore new perspectives, develop strategies that honor your self and your communities, and successfully tackle challenges in your leadership journey.
My focus is on supporting you, your wellbeing, and your success.
