Kathryn Alexander, MA
Spokane, Washington, United States of America
Kathryn is the Chief Strategist for SoilSmart–SoilWise.org as well as a consultant, author and educator, an expert in ethics, systems thinking and change. Kathryn’s early work combined her interest in change, systems thinking, ethics and values, themes that continue to this day. Kathryn’s sense that Western culture was imbalanced in some way drove her to seek deeper understanding by looking into the foundation (nature), and driving forces at work that clarified the effective application of ethics and values she saw expressed around her. Kathryn’s shift to nature as the expert provided a strong framework for effective and harmonious change, in sync with nature – the largest system. The discovery of the biotic pump and the meta crisis we are facing, drove Kathryn to shift her focus into the education and application of this new systems understanding of how rain is formed and how the planet has been cooling itself since the beginning. Designated as a “Woman to Watch’ in Sustainability in 2012 by the Boulder Weekly, she was previously on the faculty of the Sustainable Business Practices Program at the University of Colorado Boulder, Regis University and the Entrepreneur Community Online teaching strategy, organizational change, systems theory, business psychology, and work team development. Her published work includes “What’s It Mean, Shifting to Green? Fascinated with organizational change, Kathryn was an early student of systems thinking creating study groups for the Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge and studying with Fritjof Capra, starting in the 80s. Her change work showed her the impact of tacit values on leadership and management styles. Kathryn developed the model Birds of a Feather™ and a tool for assessing organizational culture strategically, Strategic Leadership Assessment™, and with Verna Allee is the co-author of the Quality Tools Matrix™.
