Our Founder
Vered Kogan
Vered started her career as a civil engineer, earned an MBA from York University, and advised senior leaders on complex, large-scale transformations at PwC. She saw the same pattern again and again: the plans were sound, but the people side of change was where things stalled.
Today she works at the intersection of the internal and the external: the beliefs and habits that drive how leaders show up, and the structures and strategies that turn resistance into momentum. She is co-author, with Marshall Goldsmith, of UNSTUCK, and host of The Mindset Game® podcast.
Vered has trained hundreds of CEOs. Working with a trusted network of associate coaches and facilitators, she designs and delivers the Institute’s virtual and in-person programs.
