Biography

With a background in physics and doctorate in biophysics, Ginny Whitelaw has a lifelong passion for energy, resonance and the human body. This interest led to deep physical training and her becoming a 5th degree black belt in Aikido and a roshi in Rinzai Zen. It also led to senior leadership experience at NASA, where she was in charge of integrating the Space Station Program. But it was integrating mind, body and energy with leadership itself that became her calling and, for over 25 years, she’s taught this whole leadership worldwide.

Her work has spanned companies, not-for-profits, and executive education programs including NASA, Merck, Novartis, T. Rowe Price, Mercer, Hillrom, JNJ, Bank of America, and Columbia University. In 2012, she founded the Institute for Zen Leadership and has authored 4 books, including Resonate (2020).
