About Noushin Bayat, Mph, Ed.D.
I’m passionate about mental wellness in the workplace, especially through the complex messiness of change. I believe that successful digital Transformation is only possible when people transform and become willing and capable of engaging in the agile rapidly disruptive digital spaces that demand an adaptive style. This includes supporting individuals and teams to become emotionally agile and be able to facilitate collaborative solutions to the many novel challenges that arise on a daily basis — instead of getting swept up in silos and reactive coping mechanisms. I believe strongly in building a grounded foundation of self leadership, mental wellness and psychological agility - from which, capabilities such as emotional intelligence, executive presence, creativity, confidence, compassion and openness to collaboration are innately and authentically developed and expressed. The transformational power of work environments has always provided me with a great context to create healthy work cultures and operational strategies that empower individual contributors to shine and for teams to thrive. My health, wellness and work/life engagement took an incredible shift for the better when I understood the neuroscience driving our emotional and mental world. Aside from working with marquis clients, I love sharing the wisdom of neuroscience to individuals and groups and continue to model it in my own life. Forever grateful to the teachings of Rohini Ross and Syd Banks who’ve been instrumental in the powerful personal and professional shifts in my life. Clients include: Axon, The Gap USA, Nestle Globe, Nestle USA, Kaiser Permanente, The Good Stuff Restaurants, Tesco’s Fresh & Easy Markets, and Deloitte & Touche, Dreyers Grand Ice Cream, among others. I enjoyed my doctoral program and focused my Dissertation on how complex global systems impact not only leaders, but also operational and decision making systems. And how coaching best practices need to adapt to support leaders to thrive within this web of complexity. Findings point to “presence” as a key factor in thriving through VUCA conditions.
