Meet Garet Libbey

Why I do this work

I believe in the innate uniqueness of every individual. When we learn to appreciate and honor ourselves, we foster a sense of belonging not in spite of our differences, but because of them. The journey toward fully expressing our individuality is complicated, evolving over time. As a coach, my role is to guide clients in delving deeper to bring forth the most authentic version of themselves.

To me, coaching and leadership development represent a pursuit of equity. I am convinced that by empowering leaders and teams to lead authentically, we can create sustainable, inclusive cultures that strengthen our communities and organizations, making them more equitable for everyone.

Experience

I partner with leaders to help them step confidently into their roles with curiosity and empathy. My work is especially focused on those navigating times of transition and supporting women leaders. Together, we focus on setting meaningful goals, aligning leadership with core values and purpose, developing leadership presence and style, and finding harmony between professional and personal life. I am committed to building sustainable leadership models and fostering work cultures that promote well-being and resilience.

Work Experience

With over 25 years of service in the field of education, I've held roles across school leadership – from a teacher in classrooms to an all-school senior administrator. I have led curricular design and implementation; the development and execution of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) programs, systems and structures; the design and management of recruitment and hiring processes (including senior executive roles); and the transformation of talent management systems and procedures. A common thread woven throughout my career is my unwavering commitment to co-creating spaces for growth and learning, allowing everyone to express their authentic selves. Guiding individuals and teams through change, while fostering and nurturing healthy, inclusive cultures, remains central to my professional purpose.
