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

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 and it’s leadership rooted in authenticity, mindfulness, and justice.

With over 30 years of experience as an educator, community leader, scholar, and CEO, 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. Through executive coaching, consulting, leadership programs, speaking engagements, and my podcast Ascend with Claire Oliveros™, I create pathways for executive leaders, Filipina, and Women of Color to share their stories, flourish, and build lasting legacies.
