Leadership development for people who like their thinking rigorous and their delivery human.
Hi! I’m Dr. Abby Koenig. I facilitate, coach, teach, and speak about the messy human parts of work—leadership, communication, change, teams, and what happens when perfectly sensible plans meet actual people.
My work is research-backed, practical, story-driven, and never needlessly boring.
All the Things I Can Do to Help
Some organizations know exactly what they need. Others arrive with a problem, a meeting, and a vague sense that something has to change. Both are welcome.
What I’m working on
Can I Stay at the Kids’ Table?
Why do we make people leave the work they love to prove they’re good at it? The Kids’ Table is a developing talk, research project, and newsletter about what happens when management becomes the only path upward.
The newsletter arrives Fall 2026.
