Willa Hallowell

My approach to developing global leaders is founded on 31 years of experience coaching leaders worldwide. As a partner in GROVEWELL LLC, I led a coaching practice that spanned six continents, emphasizing an effective approach tailored to the coachee's cultural worldview. My coaching style combines rigor, compassion, and cross-cultural experience with the aim of nurturing visionary, globally agile leaders. The outcome is an enhanced ability to respond judiciously to unforeseen challenges, thereby increasing organizational impact.

A significant focus of my practice has been coaching women leaders. I had the privilege of supporting female coaches across Europe for three years, guiding them in providing coaching to 30 EMEA-based participants in a 12-month women's leadership development program. Regular convenings allowed us to address challenges, identify patterns, and leverage best practices. The experience of women coaching women was meaningful for all involved. I eagerly anticipate supporting the WILD Network's mission to advance women in global development.
