Joel Kampf
Certified Leadership Coach and DEIB Consultant/Facilitator
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
As an Executive Coach, Leadership Development, and DEIB Consultant/Facilitator, Joel has assisted leaders and teams to invest in their own development and create cultures of learning. His work in Systems Thinking helps his clients become more aware of the limitations of working in silos, siloed linear thinking, and to better recognize the opportunities gained by focusing on organizational connections.
Joel’s commitment to DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) has led him to view all his coaching/consulting engagements through an inclusive, equitable, and empathetic lens. Utilizing his 20+ years of work as a Brand Strategist and Marketing Communications Consultant and implementing Consumer Insight Research programs has allowed him to develop and implement numerous organizational cultural and DEIB assessments. From these, Joel has precise, actionable data to help inform strategies and make recommendations that address the myriad challenges and opportunities confronting individuals, teams, and organizations at large.
Joel is a Certified Coach (CTA, ICF), a Certified Leadership Circle 360 Facilitator, and a Certified Systems Thinking (eCornell) Consultant. He has Bachelor's Degrees in Communications, Sociology, Politics, and Public Affairs. Joel lives in Seattle, where you’ll find him either pedaling his bike or reading a book… wishes he could do both at the same time.
