About Dr. Claire Oliveros

Hi! Thanks for visiting my website. I’m Claire, a Filipina American, first generation college graduate and former community college president. Now, as an executive coach, I uplift and guide Filipina and Women of Color leaders to rise in their power, lead with clarity, and build lasting legacies.

Leadership should never come at the cost of your health, family, or humanity. Too often, we are forced to lead in systems not built for us while carrying the invisible weight of representation navigating inequities, and balancing cultural values with institutional demands.

There is a better way: leadership rooted in authenticity, mindfulness, and justice.

With over 30 years of experience as an educator, community organizer, scholar, and CEO, I help Filipina American and Women of Color leaders move from systemic burnout and exhaustion to liberated leadership and building a lasting legacy.

My Culturally Grounded Frameworks include:

  • The NARRA Method™ Nurture · Advance · Reset · Revolutionize · Activate

  • RISE UP™ Pillars Reclaim - Ignite - Sustain - Excavate - Uplift - Progress

  • Ingat Ka™ Micro Meditations – Mindfulness resets for leaders and families

Who I Serve:

  • Filipina American leaders breaking barriers in leadership

  • Women of Color executives navigating inequitable systems

  • Organizations committed to justice, equity, and human-centered leadership

I became a mother after 40, spouse, and solopreneur. Through executive coaching, consulting, courses, and my podcast Ascend with Claire Oliveros™, I create pathways for Filipina and Women of Color leaders to share stories, flourish, and build lasting legacies.
