Taught by love at work researcher Renée Smith in collaboration with the leadership experts and coaches at A Human Workplace.
“You face tough challenges but also opportunities.
I know the impact that leading with love can have.
Not sentimental love but strong, bold, courageous love.
Now is the time for Loving Leaders to lead the way!”
“As a leader in business and in government, I know what it is like to lead with love, what it takes to meet the intense challenges and important opportunities with positive human values that create a culture of trust and connections to deliver results.
Never has this been more important than now. This is THE time when we must perform to our highest potential and the only way to do that sustainably is to bring out the best in people by practicing more loving and less fearful ways of leading and working.
Operationally, in the private sector, you may be working to stay in business and to keep on top of crucial organizational goals to stay competitive and retain or grow market share. In the public sector, you may be facing budget reductions with higher expectations or an expansion of your programs with pandemic restrictions on operations.
You may be struggling to lead a hybrid team, facing the challenges of bringing everyone back to the office, or concerned with the mental health and well-being of team members, all while juggling your own internal pressures and health.
No matter what the challenge, I have learned over the years that the way to achieve innovation and performance results as well as the engagement and satisfaction that leads to those results is through loving leadership.
That’s why I speak and teach on Making Work More Human and on Loving Leadership. And it’s why we offer these learning options to leaders and change-makers like you!
We’ve seen what fear can do. It isn’t good.
Now it’s time to experience what love can do!”

Human-Centered Leadership™
In partnership with Stanford School of Medicine’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and Sesil Pir Consulting, A Human Workplace is one of the exclusive providers of this ground-breaking Human-Centered Leadership (HCL) program based on cutting-edge leadership research.
After studying 118 Fortune 500 companies that endured since 2000, research revealed key insights into sustainable growth. This training explores the behaviors, mindsets, and attributes so people and organizations thrive.
With HCL Training, we offer inclusive and curated learning experiences that prepare leaders to take on more complex roles, innovate in high-paced, volatile, and ambiguous environments, and become leaders of change. This helps leaders to elevate the organization, respond and adapt timely, and drive value.
Loving Leadership Coaching
Weekly or bi-weekly one-hour breakthrough coaching sessions focus on your challenges and opportunities as a leader so that you make progress on what’s most important to you.
In the first two sessions, your coach, loving leadership researcher Renee Smith, will work with you to identify a clear focus for your Loving Leader journey.
Then step by step, you will move forward toward your practice and learning goals with love and a human way of leading and working at the core. We will pay attention to your well-being as a human too.
The final session culminates by honoring your progress and laying the foundation for your next steps as a Loving Leader.
