Culture, Coaching, and Change: Loren Rosario-Maldonado On Embracing Multidimensional Leadership

Loren Rosario-Maldonado is a trained culturist, executive career coach, and keynote speaker, and the best-selling author of Becoming the Change. As a culturist and self-defined “rebel with a cause,” Loren specializes in examining how culture shapes everything we do—from the way we think and act to how we interact with the world around us.

In this episode, Loren joins Tashya Denose and Pam Lindemoen to explore the crucial role of emotional intelligence in leadership and why recognizing the multi-dimensional nature of individuals is essential, particularly in industries where human emotions are often overlooked.

Loren also shares her top tips and strategies as an executive coach, discussing the unique challenges women face in the business world and offering advice on how to advance to the next level in your career.
