About Christel Ridao

I\'m grateful for the work I choose to do—having spent 14 years in global people, consulting, and leadership coaching. I lean into my values and skills when working together on projects, change initiatives, and social movements.I approach my work with curiosity, empathy, and presence because I believe meaningful change happens when we connect as humans. In my experience, the best projects come from really listening and collaborating, not just following a formula.I’ve lived in Manila, Bangkok, Singapore, New York, and Chicago. I embrace living at the intersection of diverse identities. In building my practice of solidarity, I\'m learning and unlearning all of the time. I\'m committed to action and investment that supports social, economic, and environmental justice.
