Lead From Your Center.
Build What the Future Requires.
Coco Rogers is a Navy veteran, leadership futurist, and keynote speaker who helps leaders break free from Crumb Culture™ and return to clarity, courage, and connection. Her work blends strategy, story, and human truth to shape the next era of leadership.
The pace of modern leadership pulls people away from their center. Pressure rises, clarity slips, communication fractures, and the culture slowly erodes, even in strong organizations.
This isn’t a perks problem or a burnout problem. It’s a human problem.
Crumb Culture™ takes hold when people give everything they have but receive just enough to stay. It drains capacity, weakens trust, and forces teams into survival mode.
My work helps leaders return to clarity, connection, and courage — the foundations of a culture that actually works.
Most organizations aren’t struggling with performance.
They’re struggling with alignment.
It all started with a simple piece of advice.
Courtenay “Coco” Rogers began her career as a Naval Officer, sworn in by her father, a decorated Navy Captain. Before reading her the oath, he offered a single instruction she has carried with her ever since: Take care of your people.
Simple and essential, yet still missing in many workplaces today.
Serving aboard the USS Grace Hopper (DDG-70) taught Coco what pressure does to the nervous system and what clarity makes possible. It showed her how leaders rise when the stakes are high and how quickly teams crumble when communication breaks down. It also revealed the extraordinary strength that emerges when people feel supported, connected, and trusted.
This is the foundation of her work. Leadership is not about performance. It is about presence, clarity, and remembering the humans you are responsible for.
Coco carries this conviction into every room she enters, guiding leaders back to the center of who they are and the impact they were built to make.
How we can work together.
