Leadership development, rooted in compassion.

Helping individuals and organizations create sustainable, positive change, while building compassionate and resilient leaders.

Embracing Change

In the workplace, the word change can make an entire room cringe. However, although uncomfortable at first, change signifies new growth. It provides an opportunity to get creative, shed what’s not working and shift paradigms to solve problems and become more effective.

As a forward-thinking organization, team, or individual, this growth mindset is most likely what led you here. It’s certainly not easy to change a business, culture, team, or ourselves. At Maitri Leadership, we believe it takes courage, compassion and a willingness to look in the mirror and step outside of your comfort zone. We are here for wherever you are on your journey to walk alongside you, your team and organization and help you navigate through the one constant in life, change.

Maitri pronounced “my-tree”, is a Sanskrit word meaning loving kindness towards oneself and others.

  • “As a facilitator, JaRae created a space where participants could share about their experiences, successes, challenges, and recommendations in support of one another. She provided opportunities for participants to share about their experiences as they relate to a global view of these tricky times we’re living through. There is no doubt this year has presented significant challenges. The thematic content shared and the inspiring experience that was created for our leaders from our sessions with JaRae enabled them to reflect thoughtfully, practice reframing, and exercise resiliency. Much appreciated rockstar moments all around!"
