Kathleen’s Experience

Kathleen O’Grady is the creator of Authentic Intelligence™ (AQ™) and the originator of The O’Grady Human Blueprint to Life™ (OHBL™). Her work identifies the deeper architecture behind human perception, choice, and meaning making. She challenges long-held assumptions in leadership and personal development and brings language to patterns most people feel but rarely understand.

She has spent nearly two decades working with executives, founders, creators, and organizations across sectors while developing a body of work that now extends into a broader field of study. Through her ICF-Accredited Certified Authentic Leadership Coach (CALC) program and her involvement in shaping global coaching standards, she played a role in the profession’s evolution. Her focus now centers on AQ™ and the emerging discipline it anchors.

Kathleen’s approach is steady and grounded. She works with clarity, curiosity, and precision. Her interest is in the forces that shape a person’s inner world and the ways those forces influence how they see, decide, relate, and lead. This is where people begin to understand themselves with a depth that creates real change.
