“Our most challenging moments as leaders can illuminate the path ahead for ourselves and for our companies, when we meet them with deep inquiry and a courageously open heart.”
Carl Baccellieri brings nearly 30 years of experience as a coach, facilitator, and therapist, along with a background in executive leadership. He works with leaders in a rare space of presence, self-reflection, and transformation, using a grounded, personal approach. His strength is helping clients clarify their most desired future while staying aware of how it’s created in the present—and identifying what might stand in the way. He believes the startup spirit can fuel bold visions of a world where everyone can live fully expressed, meaningful lives.
Carl holds a master’s in Contemplative Psychotherapy, a post-master’s certification in Transformational NLP, and over a decade of coaching experience in Acceptance and Commitment Training. Based near Santa Fe, NM, he tends a four-acre farm and orchard, hosts travelers for tea, and explores the painted desert on his mountain bike.
“The one who is willing to walk courageously on the path of leadership is undertaking the journey of a lifetime. It is challenging, heart-opening, and profoundly fulfilling. How we choose to navigate this labyrinth is where we find out who we are and what it is possible to create.”
Chrystal is an executive coach and facilitator dedicated to helping people work well and live well. She has supported a wide range of clients—from founders to emerging leaders—across private, non-profit, and public sectors.
Combining practical experience with deep listening, thoughtful inquiry, and diverse expertise, she creates a connected space for discovery, reflection, and action. Her clients often leave feeling empowered and better equipped to lead, navigate life changes, resolve conflict, manage stress, and align more fully with themselves.
With a strong background in equity, inclusion, and belonging, Chrystal offers a coaching space that acknowledges how identity shapes life and work. She is equally skilled at working with clients who may be “the only” in their environment as she is with anyone seeking growth and transformation.
“Our otherness is a key that can unlock a doorway of compassion. If you walk through this doorway you will find powerful self-leadership.”
Virginia helps leaders bring their full selves to every challenge leadership presents.
A Virginia Tech graduate with a Bachelor’s in Software Engineering, she has been building companies ever since—founding three of her own and leading across industries from software to brick-and-mortar retail. As a certified coach, she draws on this breadth of experience to help clients face the crucible of leadership with creativity and resilience.
Her coaching is shaped by the belief that a leader’s identity is central to their leadership and that personal inner work is the foundation for effective leadership. She is passionate about supporting leaders who are creating more inclusive, supportive spaces for underrepresented people.
After years of building businesses in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Virginia now lives with her family in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where she continues to coach leaders nationwide.
“The form of your life is designed. By you. The process of revealing the seemingly invisible structures that support the form is a profound journey connecting you to the wonderfully meaningful desires you have for yourself and the world. Every day is another opportunity to re-design how you show up on the journey, every day becoming more and more you.”
Chris VandenBrink believes the journey from self-doubt to self-trust is one of the most meaningful we can take—whether as a founder or employee. Cultivating that inner knowing calls for patience, stillness, releasing judgment, and openness to powerful questions. While deeply personal, this work has a lasting professional impact.
As a coach, facilitator, and licensed architect, Chris blends design thinking, hands-on experience, and a lighthearted style to help leaders grow into the best versions of themselves. He works closely with clients to understand their goals and motivations, applying practical mental models and organizational frameworks to guide them through the uncertainties of leadership. The result: more confident, capable leaders ready to see and seize new possibilities.
