Hi, I’m LaTonya—Author of Leading Below the Surface, Speaker, and Executive + Leadership Coach.I prepare leaders for the future of work by helping them make a lasting impact, grow into their executive roles, guide diverse teams, lead with authenticity, and reconnect with their true selves. As the founder and CEO of Change Coaches, I lead a team that works with individuals, groups, and organizations to build stronger, more connected teams by focusing on the deeper, often overlooked aspects of leadership. Our expertise is in developing psychological safety, navigating conflict in diverse teams, developing leaders for the future of work, aligning team goals, and creating cultures of belonging. We provide full-scale leadership development including custom and off-the-shelf workshops, group coaching, executive team coaching, coaching certification programs, and custom leadership experiences that combine one or more of these modalities. Change Coaches also offers a unique leadership assessment that measures both psychological safety and belonging in one tool. At Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, I serve as an adjunct coach and MBA lecturer, guiding leaders to think ahead and lead with purpose in a rapidly changing world.My bestselling book, Leading Below the Surface: Building Real (and Psychologically Safe) Relationships with People Who Are Different from You (leadingbelowthesurface.com), challenges traditional leadership approaches and provides strategies for leading across differences. It has been recognized as a top-10 book on inclusion and psychological safety, as well as a top-30 book for HR leaders.I also offer 1:1 leadership coaching. I specialize in working with CEOs, CXOs, new leaders, and trailblazers from organizations across industries including Google and The New York Times. My work focuses on activating leadership potential, fostering authentic connections, and preparing leaders to adapt and thrive.As a keynote speaker, I inspire global audiences to look “below the surface,” leading conversations on authenticity, adapting to the future of work, and creating lasting impact.
