Sonya is a Fractional Chief Learning Officer, Executive Performance Coach, and Humorist-at-Large. She works both sides of the leadership equation: the organization and the human running it.

As a Fractional CLO, she gives growing companies senior-level learning strategy without the full-time C-suite salary. She builds the leadership bench, shapes culture, and designs development programs that actually change behavior. She brings 25+ years of L&D leadership to the role, including designing learning for Shell, Meta, American Express, The Home Depot, and Baker Hughes.

As a coach, she created Human Ecosystem Coaching, which starts from a simple idea: you can’t coach the mind and ignore the body that’s hauling it to every meeting. Each client gets a custom program built from her full toolkit. That toolkit includes ICF executive coaching, somatic and nervous-system work, holobody whole-person coaching, the LHIA assessment, her CALM Journey™, and the LAUGHS Method™.

Before all that, she was an advertising copywriter and a stand-up comic on stages across the US, Canada, and the UK. That’s why humor is a diagnostic tool for her, not a party trick.

Her forthcoming book is Panic Is Not a Leadership Strategy. (Spoiler: it isn’t.)
