Wendy Rodriguez & Kori Burkholder

Teaches at Leadership That Works

Wendy Rodriguez worked in corporate finance for 8 years before pivoting to a career as a financial counselor at a non-profit where she’s worked since 2010. Her passion for being a conduit for change led her to get certified as a Transformational Life Coach in 2014 and in Human Centered Design in 2015. She is now a faculty at Leadership that Works, facilitating the same coach certification program she graduated from in 2014. She combines her broad experience to create learning experiences that get at the root of what holds people back from reaching their fullest potential. She hails from the South Bronx by way of the Dominican Republic, from where she migrated at the age of 8. She loves travel, crochet and is an avid sci-fi fan.

As a Self-Discovery Creative workshop leader, she enjoys bringing groups of people together to gain nuggets of self-awareness, knowledge, or just plain joy. Kori’s belief is that with a Big Vision and the desire to create change you can turn your dreams into reality.
