Mikaela Seligman: People and Practices that Make Life Less Difficult

My guest today is Mikaela Seligman.

Mikaela is the Founder of the company, Lumin/Us, which offers tailored leadership coaching and education, facilitation, and organizational consulting.  Mikaela brings her 30+ years of experience leading in and also coaching/consulting for mission-driven organizations and leaders.

At the heart of her work, Mikaela helps leaders have impact without burnout.  She’s worked her entire career to redefine outdated ideas about leadership.  Everyone, she says, wherever they sit in the social and organizational hierarchy - can heed the call to exercise leadership every day. The world needs us to do so more than ever.

Mikaela has decades of experience applying the Adaptive Leadership framework and adult development theory in staff and senior organizational roles   She is a lifelong student and practitioner of somatics and mindfulness. She blends these and a range of emergent approaches in every aspect of her work.

Our conversation today is a beautiful emerging of ideas and insights!  Mikaela shares pieces of her own journey that were incredibly difficult, including her parents divorcing when she was 6 years old, and her father dying when she was 17 years old.  She also shares about the people and practices that helped make those difficult times a little less difficult.  

Mikaela, thank you for this inspiring and thought-provoking conversation.  Thank you for sharing your stories, your reflections, and your wisdom.  You truly bring a much-needed light into the world through your work and through just being you!  I’m so grateful our paths have crossed!
