About Rhian Rotz

I’m a strategic advisor, facilitator, and ICF-certified leadership coach helping leaders and organizations move from stuck to unstoppable. I align people, purpose, and performance to drive lasting impact, designing strategies and programs that shift behaviors, strengthen cultures, and shape brands for meaningful growth.I see leadership and culture as living systems - interconnected, adaptive, and human. I focus on building values-driven, inclusive organizations where people feel trusted, inspired, and equipped to do their best work. The human side of business isn’t soft; it’s the foundation where performance thrives.I’m also a WSET-certified wine enthusiast, fascinated by the art and science of wine - much like the power of story in leadership, where nuance, connection, and craft make all the difference.Outside of work, I’m a lifelong learner, writer, golf and Pilates enthusiast, certified yoga teacher, and nature lover. I support social impact initiatives including the Community of Positive Aging, Catchafire, and PDX for Good.If you’re ready to lead with intention and create lasting impact, let’s connect.
