Ansel Oliver

I help leaders increase their performance by showing them deeper levels of how to connect, grow, and lead.

The best executives I know are constantly searching for guides and advice on how they can grow even further, because they know an organization's performance is driven by the quality of its leaders and how they manage and honor their employees. When a leader grows, their employees grow, too—and those employees respect their manager even more.

My approach is based on a competency and character model that identifies perceived needs versus real needs. Blended with my background in corporate communications, I'm able to offer executives a customized advisory model that enhances how they manage and communicate.

My workshops and coaching have helped people across industries and professions, including doctors, lawyers, technology managers, finance leaders, professors, nurses, and board members. I especially excel at helping increase the performance of those who are strong in left-brained functions (such as coding, engineering, and accounting), customizing a plan for them to better connect and manage.

My extensive experience includes serving as a corporate communications manager at a university healthcare system, manager at a PR agency, assistant communication director for an international non-profit, and a newspaper reporter and photographer. I have consulted and taught workshops on corporate communications and leadership skills in more than 20 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

I hold graduate-level advanced certification in Executive Coaching & Consultation from the Townsend Leadership Institute at Concordia University Irvine, a master's degree in Journalism from San José State University, a bachelor's degree in Communication from Pacific Union College, and a certificate in photography from The Washington School of Photography.
