About Us

Ila Edgar

It's pronounced: "Ee - Lah" (Hint: rhymes with Tequila)

Principal / Founder

Co-Host, Trust on Purpose Podcast

Certified Trust @ Work Facilitator | Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator

Ila has been where you are. She has felt like you feel - like you're not living up to the vision of who you thought you would be. You want to create a deeper connection to what really matters, but don't have the foggiest idea of how to do it. 

​

First and most importantly, Ila is human, like you, imperfections and all! She believes that, "As soon as we can all recognize and normalize the imperfections of being human, we'll start to make real change in our lives."

​

The insights Ila has discovered while looking deep into what it means to be authentically human (messy, flawed, beautiful) have been life changing.

Team Coach

Ila works with teams to build the skills that get them to transformative change. We're talking more alignment, more transparency, the ability to debate differences for the greater good, more honesty, stronger trust (especially when the going gets tough), more accountability, and richer innovation and creativity. 

​

Some projects are large enough that Ila calls upon some pretty brilliant people to help her brainstorm, build, and deliver solutions custom made for her clients. She is always thrilled to work with someone who cares as much as she does.

Background

Ila is a Leadership Coach, Facilitator, Relationship Builder, Connector, and Trust Builder with over 25 years of diverse, progressive experience in leadership, team development, and coaching. A natural coach, Ila’s talents are frequently called upon as a workshop facilitator, presenter, and conference speaker. See Ila's certifications and memberships.

Picture of Ila Edgar

Don't think for a second that it's been easy or about becoming perfect.

It's about learning to be more human.

Ila Edgar

Living our values is what matters most

It's taken time to get clear about my values and what they mean to me.

Operationalizing my values allows me to intentionally live my life in alignment with what's important to me.

Red hand drawn heart

I consider requests before I say yes

Generosity

Connection

I'm more interested in what makes your heart sing than what title you hold

Irreverence

Life can be heavy, but it doesn't need to be serious all the time

Learning

I'm a learning junkie, always looking to add tools to what I bring others

How are you living your values?
