Josh Whitman is a curious heart-centered leader with an entrepreneurial spirit working to live a more examined life. He leverages his rich professional and inner-work experiences to support others as they work to better understand themselves and their impact on their world. While he has always been a spiritual seeker, his focused and intentional journey kicked into high gear after the birth of his first child 13+ years ago. Throughout his professional life, he has worked in the broad fields of public policy, politics, education, and non-profit administration. Most recently, Josh was the Executive Director of the non-profit Center for Courage & Renewal, which brings Parker Palmer’s body of work into the world. In fact, Josh and Corey became fast friends while working on their facilitator training to lead retreats using CCR tools and techniques. Josh has a Ph.D. in Public Policy & Administration. He lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with his wife and two boys. He enjoys traveling, time with his family, time outdoors, hiking, photography, and lots of dad jokes.
