About

Katia Sol, Ph.D. teaches contemplation and leadership through an ecological lens, guiding students in inner and outer growth through connection with the natural world. Katia’s love for Stanford dates back to her days as an undergrad (BA, Latin American Studies) and coterm student (MA, Education), from which she has fond memories of singing with Talisman A Cappella, living in the co-ops Columbae and Synergy, and dancing salsa on the Bolivar House lawn. Katia’s background spans 25 years as a scholar-practitioner in the fields of Comparative, International, and Development Education, Cross-Cultural Dialogue, and Transformative Global Leadership.  She has lived and worked around the world, including with many Indigenous communities, and founded her own leadership development, coaching and consulting practice over a decade ago.  Katia returned to Stanford in 2021 as a Sloan Fellow (MSx) at the Graduate School of Business, where she obtained her Master’s of Science in Management.  She also holds her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in Leadership, Higher and Adult Education.
