Meredith Haberfeld

ThinkHuman CEO Meredith Haberfeld has 15-plus years of experience as a consultant to fast-growth organizations—think Spotify, Goldman Sachs and SoulCycle. She’s conducted original research on employee engagement, but she’s best known for her work with executives, entrepreneurs and their teams. Meredith teaches at top educational institutions (MIT, Pace University, The Esalen Institute and others) and is a frequent expert for media outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, CNBC, CNN, Fast Company and Forbes. Formerly Senior Vice President at Paradigm Direct (now Tranzact.net), Meredith managed a team of more than 60 people and helped grow the firm into a $200 million company. The “on-the-court MBA” she earned during those years has been instrumental in Meredith’s consulting work: she understands firsthand clients’ challenges and organizational structure. Meredith began consulting for outside organizations because she wanted to share her discovery that, with the right culture, leadership and tools, companies can unleash quantum results internally and in the world at large. She took a break from corporate work in 2001 in order to work with and study the human brains driving business. “I wanted to understand what motivates individual human beings, not just organizations; and how to cause profound behavior and paradigm change on a personal level,” she says. During that time, Meredith achieved life coach certification from the International Coaching Federation and worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, families and professionals on a one-on-one basis. Meredith co-founded ThinkHuman (formerly known as the Institute for Coaching) in 2008. She’s advised in the development of life coaching education at MIT and has served as a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs and senior executives at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Forbes, JP Morgan Chase, Credit Suisse, FuseTV and the World Health Organization. 📷thinkhumankind
