J. R. Welch
For more than 25 years, I’ve led in spaces where vision and vulnerability collide, spiritual communities, nonprofits, and community organizations. I know what it is to cast vision, to carry responsibility, and to navigate both the beauty and the bruises that come with leadership. My story is not one of unbroken triumph, but of resilience shaped through seasons of trial, renewal, and growth. That journey gives me a different kind of voice: not to stand above leaders as a hero, but to walk beside them as a guide.
I believe leadership is most potent when it is trauma-informed, creative, and collaborative. Too often, leaders carry wounds in silence, and teams fracture under fear or competition. My work is to create spaces where honesty is possible, where stories can be told, and where resilience is cultivated together. Through cultural storytelling, thoughtful interviews, and practical best practices, I help leaders and teams uncover their own capacity for courage, clarity, and compassion. I draw on decades of experience, not as a script for every situation, but as a foundation for helping each group write its own future.
