I’m Christy Bowman-White, Executive Director of North Star Leadership and Development LLC.

Today’s leadership calls for a new approach. Sustainable leaders excel in emotional intelligence, foster inclusive cultures, and create balance that supports both personal and professional effectiveness. In these complex times, many leaders find themselves pushing harder without achieving the clarity, confidence, or connection they need. If you’re a leader committed to excellence and struggling to sustain your energy, purpose, and well-being, I understand where you are.

With over 20 years of experience in educational leadership—from National Board-Certified teacher to principal —I’ve seen the toll that relentless dedication can take. I’ve found a way forward that works better: People-centered leadership rooted in the values of care, growth, and impact.

As an ICF ACC Certified Coach, I guide leaders like you through transformative coaching and consulting. My approach combines practical tools, cognitive strategies, and insights from psychology to help you gain clarity, consistent progress, and confidence.

I help both emerging and experienced leaders build emotional intelligence, create inclusive cultures, and find the balance they need to thrive—personally and professionally.
