Lorena Wade MBA

Certified Professional & Leadership Development Coach

Location

Southern California, United States

Experience

15 years experience

"

I am a certified coach, entrepreneur, and former healthcare senior executive with over 15 years of experience supporting leaders and professionals navigating growth, transition, and complexity. I help clients gain clarity, move through internal barriers, and lead with confidence and integrity through strengths-based, grounded, and values-driven coaching.

 

I am also a mama of two toddlers, one of whom is globally developmentally delayed and on the spectrum. Like many parents and first-generation professionals, I have learned what it means to carry responsibility in multiple directions at once: leading, caregiving, building, and becoming…& often without a clear roadmap. That lived experience shapes how I coach: with compassion, steadiness, and a deep respect for the unseen labor many professionals carry.

 

I’m also the founder and principal consultant of a healthcare advisory firm, where I partner with healthcare organizations, federal contractors, private equity & investment firms, and global advisory networks. My consulting work focuses on helping executives navigate complexity: solving operational challenges, strengthening leadership systems, and building structures that scale. I’ve led and supported high-stakes initiatives tied to enterprise transformation, including multiple engagements in collaboration with one of the most respected global consulting firms.

 

As a doctoral student in business and a scholar-practitioner, my research is dedicated to my daughters and focuses on how leadership development and leadership practices impact clinician burnout, workforce sustainability, and access to care in outpatient behavioral healthcare settings serving neurodivergent children and their families, particularly during the early intervention window of childhood. My work is rooted in a commitment to closing the widening gap in access to timely, high-quality care for families navigating neurodivergence.

 

I especially enjoy working with professionals who have been underestimated, who are navigating identity shifts, or who are seeking alignment between who they are and how they lead. For those who desire it, I also create space to explore faith and purpose as part of the journey, honoring the whole person, not just the role they hold.
