Before you innovate the world, innovate yourself.
The leadership challenge before us extends beyond managing turbulent times; it’s about cultivating a mindset of ‘antifragility,’ while grounding our approach in empathy and relational intelligence.

One-on-One, Coaching with Alita
Each year, I partner with a select group of leaders who are committed to accelerating and upleveling their leadership capacity as they embark on new chapters. Together, we work on navigating complexity, developing behavioral flexibility, and cultivating self-awareness. You'll learn to trust your internal compass, handle conflict with confidence, and expand your ability to integrate diverse perspectives.
I provide an objective, unbiased perspective, guiding you through critical moments and preparing you for challenging conversations. Our focus will be on both your 'inner game'—enhancing executive presence and building trust—and your 'outer game'—refining how you present yourself authentically. To support your journey, I may connect you with specialists who bring unconventional approaches to fine-tune your body, mind, and spirit.

Future-Ready Leadership Labs
Co-created with Tracey Abbott, who brings over 20 years of experience as a psychologist and transformational leadership coach, we’ve fused age-old wisdom with cutting-edge frameworks to craft an Active-Learning program that is not just relevant but essential to the evolving dynamics of work, mindfulness, and collective impact.
Each cohort is immersed in a ‘container’ designed to cultivate an ‘anti-fragile’ mindset, empowering participants to embrace the natural discomfort that arises in relationships. Through this process, they develop tools for conscious communication and relational intelligence, which are central to the experience.
We invite you to explore a deeper inquiry into who you are and why your leadership matters.

Chief of Staff & VP at Sonder
“Before working with Alita, I was very hesitant about managing peers and was allergic to giving feedback. Alita helped me unlock the ability to communicate directly with compassion, and this led to much more effective results from my team. She literally transformed me into a new kind of manager, and without her I would've been managed out of Sonder a long time ago. I will forever be grateful for the impact Alita has had on our organization and on me personally.”
VP, Product & Data at Hotel Engine | Startup Operator & Advisor | Angel Investor
“Alita embodies what I would consider being key traits and qualities of a great coach, including being a powerful listener, inspiring trust, acting with tremendous compassion and integrity, and having both a high IQ and a high EQ. Alita had an acute ability to quickly understand complex situations, analyze relationships and group dynamics, and understand nuances. She was a fantastic partner helping me, my team, and other leaders navigate difficult conversations and resolve both short-term challenges and broader questions or situations of long-term significance. And above all, she was instrumental in helping me grow as a people manager and leader.”

“I literally travelled to the ends of the earth with Alita. I've watched her spirit and energy guide people through difficult and confusing times. When I'm traveling with Alita I know she has not only my back but all those around her.”
