I’m a former psychotherapist turned Leadership Coach and Expert in Leadership Development Training.

Blair Glaser, MA, LCAT is a writer, an executive and organizational consultant, and leadership mentor. She specializes in helping leaders step into their authority and create a truly collaborative culture that carries out the mission while increasing the bottom line.

She works with leaders across many sectors including finance, law, healthcare, and entertainment, and with nationwide nonprofits, helping mission-driven organizations define and execute achievable goals.  

Over the course of her career she has also worked with students, urban youth, mentally ill/ unhoused, and Vietnam / Gulf War vets, and women.

Before the pandemic, Blair led Women Writing to Change the World with authors Amy Ferris and Sherry Amatenstein, at the Omega Institute. She worked for six years for V’s (formerly Eve Ensler) nonprofit V-Day, a movement to stop violence against women and girls, corresponding with women across the globe about issues of empowerment. Through her experiences with V-Day, she developed and facilitated The Vagina Monologues Workshop, a creative approach to sexual empowerment for women, which she taught in New York City, Santa Fe, Los Angeles and at Omega Retreat Centers in New York and in Austin, TX, which was written up in the LA Times. She was then hired by actor-activist Jane Fonda to facilitate an empowerment workshop for a group of teenage girls.

Blair is a writer and a speaker who brings a sense of joy, irreverent humor and sharp insight to her articles and talks. Way back at the dawn of the Internet, Blair was the first online actor-advice columnist when her weekly column “Ask Blair” appeared on Playbill On-Line. More recently, Blair’s articles on intimacy, leadership and authority have appeared online and in print, in a variety of publications and literary magazines. Read her leadership and relationship blog and her more personal work here. 

Blair has read her stories out loud at events such as Generation Women, Writer’s Read at City Winery, and The Woodstock Bookfest. Check out Blair’s guest interviews on radio, podcasts and videos of her storytelling events here.

Blair attended Northwestern University (B.S.) and received her Master’s degree in Drama Therapy from Vermont College and The Institutes for the Arts in Psychotherapy, where she eventually served as a senior faculty member. She is a NY licensed Creative Arts Therapist.

Blair lives with her husband and dog-ter in Los Angeles, CA. When she is not out in the field working with a team, she consults with clients by phone, in person, by the beach and in the woods. She can also be found writing in her favorite coffee shops.
