About Jamie Leavitt

I’m your guide back to your own inner wisdom.

You are the expert on your own life. I am the tour guide, helping you build a life that’s sustainable and fulfilling.

My story

I was the overachiever who never let the balls drop, working 60 to 70 hour weeks with nothing left in the tank.

Then a work assignment took me to Sweden. People there ate lunch together, on real plates. My nervous system settled. Out of stress brain, I finally had space to think about what I wanted.

In April 2026 I resigned from my HR Director role, after years of pouring this work into other people’s companies, to finally do it for myself.

My background

Inside the corporate talent system.

I’m an executive coach and HR leader with 25 years inside the corporate talent system, 13 in Strategic HR and 12 in recruiting, in HR Business Partner and HR Director roles at Fortune 500 and privately held companies. For 13 of those years I coached leaders from Director through SVP, with global scope. My other focus is resilience and burnout prevention, and I facilitate leadership workshops and trainings.

My view

The strongest leaders are usually the ones with high emotional intelligence. Those same leaders are at higher risk of burnout.

I work with somatic tools, neuroplasticity, and coaching, so the work reaches the belief driving the behavior instead of just the behavior itself.
