Client Reviews

Dr. Juana excels at facilitating open and honest conversations around sensitive topics, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. Her inclusive approach fosters a sense of belonging and empowers individuals to contribute their best. Angela L.

Client Reviews

Dr. Juana facilitated two sessions and a mediation for my staff on inclusion that helped us through a rough spot post-pandemic. Almost the entire staff had turned over, and our work attracts a lot of strong personalities. Consequently, we had a lot of misunderstandings among staff that were really a drag on our office culture. I had had a training session on diversity and inclusion with Dr. Juana years before as a new employee. And I was so impressed at the time with her as a facilitator that when we decided to bring in someone to work with our office, I specifically sought her out. Dr. Juana was very warm and built great rapport and trust with us, but at the same time, she was able to gently confront us when it was needed. She has a very participatory style, so the sessions felt more like problem-solving sessions including all of us instead of just a presenter coming in to talk. This was a couple of years ago now, but my staff still talks about Dr. Juana (and asks if she can come back!) and “giving each other grace,” something she spoke to us about. I’ve probably been in hundreds of trainings in my career, and Dr. Juana is really someone especially skilled as a facilitator. Lauren H., Chief Legal Counsel

Client Reviews

Working with Dr. Juana Parillon has been transformative, both personally and for our organization. Her coaching style is intentional, empowering, and grounded in deep wisdom. She asks the right questions at the right time, gently guiding you to clarity while honoring your voice and your vision. As part of her work with Mundialito, Dr. Juana conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive organizational assessment that helped us step back, reflect, and realign. She engaged our team with empathy and care, and her facilitation created space for honest dialogue, growth, and next steps rooted in purpose. Her presence is both grounding and inspiring, and I am so grateful for her support as I navigate leadership, community work, and personal development. Tatiana B., Mundialito

Client Reviews

Dr. Juana was invited to lead a retreat-like conversation with two sets of boards brainstorming on initiatives and future collaboration. There was an underlying tension heading into the meeting which was known by everyone, including Juana. She graciously and carefully navigated those relationships and then went on to manage additional moments that sprang up with coaching that worked. Each person involved appreciated her work in this moment and even the follow-up she did to set us on a path to continue the work. I would encourage everyone who is looking for a brilliant human who has lived such an incredible life and shares it with warm wishes to invite Dr. Juana into their process as well. She is incredible!

Hi, I’m Dr. Juana

My leadership journey began with service in the U.S. Marine Corps and with leadership roles in multiple sectors (corporate, non-profit, private and public). I've spent decades guiding others through conflict and change and bearing witness to the most incredible transformations. Along the way, I earned a Ph.D. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and an MBA—knowledge that strengthens my work in helping people grow and lead with heart.

Through every chapter, I’ve stayed rooted in care, curiosity, and the belief that true leadership begins within. When we lead from that place, we create real and lasting impact—and become a light for others to follow.

"True transformation begins when leadership is rooted in altruism."
