Adeline’s philosophy is grounded in a simple idea: Leaders shape the emotional and moral climate of the systems they touch. When leaders develop a clearer inner life, organizations become steadier, more humane, and more capable of acting in the public interest.
She brings a rare blend of philosophical depth, psychological insight, and practical understanding of governance. Clients often describe her presence as clarifying. Something that steadies the room and makes difficult conversations more honest and more generous.
Adeline’s teaching draws from a background in developmental and organizational psychology, political management, and the study of business associations and governance. She has spent years examining how people grow, how institutions function, and how moral injury and emotional strain affect decision making at the highest levels.
Her work at Veridia is devoted to the cultivation of moral intelligence. She teaches leaders how to think more clearly, respond more responsibly, and build systems of power that honor human dignity. The institute’s programs attract senior executives, founders, and public leaders who want to lead without losing themselves.

Her background
🌾 A Quiet Authority, Rooted in Depth
Adeline began her career in political and business associations 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.
“I appreciate Adeline’s clarity and precision. She has a gift in seeing and understanding people. After just a few sessions, she helped me see my blind spots, reconnected to the kind of leader I wanted to be — not by adding more strategies, but by helping me remember my own wholeness, how I want to lead before deadlines and pressure made me forgot.”
— Elena M., Senior Executive, Global Nonprofit
