About Northwest Leadership Consulting
When leaders flourish, so do their organizations—and their communities.
Meet Kendall Clawson, Founder
An advocate and champion of equity in leadership spaces, Kendall Clawson brings a unique perspective shaped by more than three decades of success across high-level roles in nonprofit organizations, government, and executive mentorship. Her communication style flows from a deep understanding of the joys and challenges of leadership and her shared experience as a seasoned Executive Director and board member. She believes that leaders are at their best when they feel cared for and understood in their roles, and that foundation of partnership amongst leaders makes for long-lasting and healthy organizations.
Blending active listening with her extensive knowledge of how leadership systems can flourish, Kendall serves as a guide, a community builder, and a champion of the power of current and future leaders. She works to reduce feelings of isolation and doubt in leaders so that they can remain focused on their goals and support their missions with confidence.
A world traveler, collector of art, and devoted dog lover, Kendall also authored A Kids Book About Pride, celebrating the courage and passion of LGBTQIA+ people today and throughout history. She has lived in the Pacific NW for 18 years, most of which was spent in Portland, Oregon and now calls Seattle, Washington her home.
