Carol S. Pearson, Ph.D., is President of the Pacifica Graduate Institute and the creator of the system informing this website and of the books and instruments that support it (see Publications page).

Dr. Pearson's scholarly, administrative, teaching, and consulting work has always been in the service of helping people live and work at a deeper level of awareness. The resulting insights enable individuals, groups, and organizations to be more successful, and employees to experience a greater sense of joy and personal fulfillment in their work.

She has promoted these ends in practice in administrative and teaching positions at the Pacifica Graduate Institute, the University of Maryland, Georgetown University, and the University of Colorado; as Senior Editor of The Inner Edge: A Resource for Enlightened Business Practice; and as a seminar leader and consultant working with nonprofits, government agencies, and mission-driven for-profit businesses.

Dr. Pearson's new book, The Transforming Leader: New Approaches to 21st Century Leadership, will be published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers in Spring 2012. It grew out of a three-year project with the Fetzer Institute, led by Dr. Pearson, focusing on the theory and practice of leadership for transformation. Dr. Pearson also is developing a master's degree program in Leadership and Organizational Development for Pacifica Graduate Institute.
