Meet the Founder
Rhonda Y. Williams MBA, MSN, RN is in high demand, and rightly so. Her remarkable victory story and path from career and personal “devastation-to-emancipation,” marked by her unrivaled commitment to creating transformational leaders, offer a powerfully authentic and inspiring model of pertinacity and endurance, a blueprint for constructing self-trust – a process of creating and growing self-mastery for the modern professional.
Following her career as a Chief Nursing Officer and Hospital CEO, Rhonda has invested over a decade in researching, engineering, and honing her singular curricula, next-level philosophies, tools, and solutions to aid leaders plagued by the “GRIND,” i.e., the tortuous “mean-average consciousness” of self-invented overwhelm and learned helplessness. Her work has led her to start Above the GRIND Leadership Mentoring and Coaching Academy which consists of action-based philosophy formalized into a repeatable, highly structured system.
