At Ripple Leadership Coaching, we believe true transformation starts small, with a single leader, and spreads wide, creating waves of positive change across an entire organization and beyond. This profound impact is born from the unique fusion of strategic clarity and soulful purpose, embodied by our co-founders, Manny and Kaitlin.

Manny's Journey: The Architect of Dynamic Systems

Manny began his career as an electrical engineer, a trade that instilled in him a profound appreciation for robust systems and precise execution. But it was in the vibrant, unpredictable world of restaurant and hospitality entrepreneurship, working alongside his sister, Nora, for over 20 years, that his true "aha!" moment emerged: mastering team dynamics isn't just an asset; it's the fundamental key to business success. His 15 years as an entrepreneurial coach further solidified this conviction, developing his confident, direct, and authoritative approach to guiding leaders through their most complex challenges. He understood that powerful systems are only as effective as the cohesive teams that run them.

Kaitlin's Path: The Heart of Human-Centered Growth

Kaitlin's professional journey unfolded across diverse landscapes, from elementary and middle-grade charter schools to higher education admissions, and then into the intricate world of government and healthcare recruitment, and business recruitment for a chamber of commerce. Each experience reinforced a deeply held truth: when you create genuine space for people to share, to be open, and to explore questions, you unlock powerful paths to growth. Her "aha!" moment was clear: business is personal – you simply cannot separate the two. This conviction fuels her joyful, curious, and encouraging coaching style, focused on helping individuals thrive within their professional ecosystems.

The Convergence: Where System Meets Soul

It was the powerful intersection of their distinct experiences and profound insights that gave birth to Ripple Leadership Coaching. Manny's mastery of the "System" – the strategic processes and measurable outcomes that drive business success – perfectly complements Kaitlin's deep understanding of the "Soul" – the human elements of culture, connection, and individual potential.

Together, Manny and Kaitlin bring this unique balance of System and Soul to every coaching session. They recognized a vital need: to equip today's leaders with the comprehensive tools and self-awareness necessary to not just navigate their current landscape, but to actively prepare and empower the next generation of leaders.
