Dr. Laura Marie Rivera
I'm a researcher, writer, founder of Intuitionship, and proud Mother of four. Born from my doctoral research at Seattle University, Intuitionship draws on original research that centers the experiences of nearly 1,000 Mothers to challenge conventional ideas about leadership. My work reveals how caregiving develops many of the competencies organizations value most—from strategic thinking and crisis management to negotiation and advocacy.
Today, that work continues through research, writing, podcasting, and film—inviting organizations to rethink how leadership is defined, developed, and valued.
