Katia Sol has spent the last 18 years facilitating leadership, community development, and transformative educational programs in more than 30 countries and with several First Nations around the world. An award-winning scholar and writer, she led the development of Ghost River Rediscovery's International Youth Leadership Program and is a current design partner for Emergent Performance Consulting. She has also facilitated numerous cross-cultural and intergenerational dialogue circles and events, including a gathering of diverse Bay Area leaders in the fall of 2012, together with Belvie Rooks and Penny Livingston-Stark.

Katia's PhD study on leading models of transformative education brought her into collaboration with the Ecology of Leadership program at the Regenerative Design Institute, an innovative leadership development program founded and directed by Christopher Kuntzsch and James Stark, which she now also co-facilitates. She is passionate about seeding new models of transformative leadership that are based upon principles of cooperation, regeneration, and remembering our inherent connections with ourselves, one another, and the natural world. Her newest project is working toward the launch of a Bay Area based Institute for Transformative Global Leadership.
