Leading With Love
For over 25 years, I’ve believed that leadership is one of the most powerful ways to practice love. As an author, educator, consultant, Musician, and speaker, I help leaders and organizations lead with courage, accountability, and humanity.
HI THERE, I’M
Dr. Rachelle Rogers-Ard
My life’s work has always been rooted in love, and leadership is how I practice it. I believe love is the highest expression of our humanity, and leadership is how it becomes visible. Not love as sentiment or comfort, but love as disciplined practice, courageous action, and accountability.
.I come to this work as a published author, keynote speaker, organizational development specialist, and former school district educator with over 25 years’ experience preparing adults to lead and manage numerous workplace spaces. As principal lead for Harvest Consulting, I provide coaching support, professional learning, and my own frameworks to help leaders develop those in their care. My belief, based on my own experiences in multiple leadership roles, is that Leadership is “love in action; love is the engine of transformation”.
I live out my purpose as the founder of the Human-Centered Leadership Movement: a leadership call to action to see each other as facilitators of the human spirit rather than dictators. And, as a Black woman living at the bottom half of the United States' Caste paradigm (Wilkerson, 2020), I uniquely and literally understand the necessity to learn from Black women's leadership experiences by placing them at the center of my research. To that end, my latest publication, “Life, Love, and Leadership: A Black Woman’s Journey”, is available on Amazon.
Through BW3L, I offer leadership development for Black women in affinity, using my Black Female Leadership Framework to create an unapologetic space to share, learn, empathize, and receive transformative support in addressing intersectional racism.
As A Classically Trained Musician
I have directed and co-directed several choirs. Today, I lead the Bay Area Mass Choir (BayMC) and the East Bay Anointed Voices (EBAV). Music is another way I practice love and bring people together, and it shapes how I lead in every room.
My Latest Work
Life, Love, and Leadership: A Black Woman's Journey sits at the intersection of memoir, Black feminist thought, and leadership theory. I share my understanding that Leadership is Love in Action. Using humor, candid reflections, and critical analysis, I offer a glimpse into like as a Black woman, my search for self-love, and my LAMP Leadership Model based on more than 30 years supporting leaders across the nation.
