Adeline Delamer is the Founder of the Veridia Institute, a center for regenerative leadership and moral innovation. Her work stands at the intersection of law, ethics, and human transformation — helping leaders and institutions rebuild power from integrity rather than ambition.
Trained in law, politics, and psychology, and deeply informed by her studies in governance, communication, and moral philosophy, Adeline’s approach bridges the rigor of systems thinking with the subtle intelligence of inner work. She has guided founders, lawyers, and executives through crises of conscience, burnout, and organizational fragmentation toward renewed coherence and creative purpose.

Founder & Principal, The Veridia Institute
Writer | Ethicist | Leadership Advisor
“Leadership is not performance. It is presence.
And It starts with self-possession.”
Her background
🌾 A Quiet Authority, Rooted in Depth
Adeline began her career in legal and policy spaces — from training and vetting political candidates, to launching national advocacy campaigns, to cross-sector diplomacy — before turning her focus to what lies beneath all leadership systems: the inner work of the human psyche.
Her years navigating different leadership styles, and complex institutions revealed a truth she could not ignore — that most breakdowns in law, business, or government are not technical, but moral.
“Adeline’s presence is both grounding and clarifying. After just a few sessions, she helped me reconnect to the kind of leader I wanted to be — not by adding more strategies, but by helping me remember my own integrity, how I want to lead before deadlines and pressure made me forgot.”
— Elena M., Senior Executive, Global Nonprofit
That insight shaped her signature methodology, the Regenerative Leadership Framework™, which combines:
Depth psychology and trauma-informed ethics
Somatic and reflective practices for nervous system regulation
Systems and cultural design for sustainable leadership
Moral imagination and narrative foresight as tools for change
Adeline’s thought leadership has resonated across both creative and executive spheres, inspiring a new generation of conscious leaders to integrate conscience with capability.
Areas of Expertise
Moral injury & leadership integrity recovery
Conscience-based executive decision-making
Ethical communication & organizational trust

Philosophy
Adeline believes that the next era of leadership will not be defined by dominance, but by discernment.
She teaches that real authority begins where anxiety ends — in the quiet courage to stay present, truthful, and whole in moments of uncertainty.
Her guidance is not about fixing, but remembering.
Not about adding more, but returning to what is essential.
