Leading With Human Intelligence

Pooja Sachdev is the founder/director of Rewire Consulting. She is an organizational psychologist, psychotherapist and executive coach whose approach integrates psychological depth with systemic analysis: understanding and developing people as individuals while also looking at the structures and dynamics that shape how work gets done.
Over the last two decades she has consulted with a wide range of organisations, including HSBC, Microsoft, Universal Films, Caterpillar, Red Bull and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), to help embed effective leadership practices and foster healthy, inclusive and high-performing cultures.
Her previous book (with Chris Yates), Rewire: A Radical Approach to Tackling Diversity and Difference (Bloomsbury), was described by the Financial Times as "the most refreshing approach to diversity I have read."
In addition to her newsletter and blog, she writes for Coaching Perspectives (the magazine of the Association for Coaching) and has contributed to books (e.g. a chapter on "Leadership and Diversity" in Leadership: A Critical Text (3rd edition) (SAGE)).
She is a speaker, panelist and podcast guest, and hosts workshops and webinars on topics like Inclusive Leadership and Managing cross-cultural teams.
Pooja brings depth, empathy, humour and nuance to complex organisational challenges. She holds two Masters degrees, is a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Association of Business Psychologists (ABP). She also serves on the Board of Mental Health Matters (MHM), a UK-based charity.
She has lived in three countries and brings a fresh, global perspective to her work.
