About
Leda Cunningham
I am passionate about and fascinated by people: their stories, what motivates them, and how much good they can do when pulling in the same direction. I created WildEast Strategies to apply my skills, networks, knowledge, and habits to help organizations and individuals with shared values do high-quality, meaningful work. While my career has focused on the environment, I have learned that taking care of nature often goes hand in hand with taking care of each other.
My values and principles, and the way I work, have been deeply influenced by my personal experiences, which include unexpected loss of a loved one and the challenge of raising two children on my own. I’ve come to see family, including the “families” we create in our communities and professional circles, as an organizing structure for meaningful work, and this belief is central to helping you cultivate connection to achieve your goals.
