Membership Director
Hilary Gustave
membership(at)icfcolorado.org
Hilary Gustave is a Columbia University-certified executive and organizational coach and leadership developer. The name of her company, Chroma Coaching, was inspired by the chromatophores that enable octopuses to change color. "Chroma" reflects what she helps her clients achieve: a vividness of color and purpose that comes from movement out of their ‘gray zone’, and a fluidity and ease in taking on ever-changing environments, challenges, and opportunities in work and life. Hilary seeks to have fun and form meaningful human connections in everything she does. With her background in consulting, consumer innovation, change management, company co-ownership and executive leadership, qualitative research, and nonprofit board service and governance, Hilary is constantly observing the structures, relationships, personalities, and behaviors that drive specific people and groups closer to or further away from their desired outcomes. She then uses these observations to guide and support successful change in each of her clients’ unique contexts. In her spare time, Hilary has more hobbies than she has time for! So, she lets her mood and schedule guide her to everything from reading and sewing to exercising or dusting off her French and Spanish. But, she’s happiest when spending time with her daughter or in nature surrounded by big trees, crisp air, bright stars, and moving water.
