Hi! I’m Claire, a Filipina American social justice educator, executive coach, leadership strategist, and former community college president from Portland, OR. I coach community college executive leaders with a specialization in Filipina and Women of Color leadership programs.

Too often, we are forced to lead in systems not built for us while carrying the invisible weight of representation while navigating inequities, and balancing cultural values with institutional demands. There is a better way and it’s leadership rooted in authenticity, mindfulness, and justice.

With over 30 years of experience, I help leaders move from systemic burnout to liberated leadership and build 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:

• Community College executives who are breaking barriers in leadership

• Filipina and Women of Color executives navigating inequitable systems

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

I am a mother, spouse, and storyteller based in Sacramento, CA. Through executive coaching, organizational consulting, leadership programs, speaking engagements, and the podcast Ascend with Claire Oliveros™, I create pathways for executives, Filipina women, and Women of Color leaders share their stories, flourish, and build lasting legacies.
