Founder of Achieve Brand Consulting
Dr. Raedene Copeland is a leadership strategist, keynote speaker, creator of the CIC Leadership Compass™, and author of Sole Impact: How Authentic Leaders Earn Fierce Loyalty. Her proprietary framework is built on Credibility, Influence, and Culture.
Known as The Sole Coach™, she helps leaders build trust, earn lasting commitment, and create cultures where people choose to stay. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, her journey as an immigrant leader navigating U.S. institutional systems shaped her understanding of how credibility is earned, influence is built, and belonging is created.
A former tenured professor, assistant provost of faculty development, and organizational transformation leader, Dr. Copeland has advised and developed leaders across Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations worldwide. Her doctoral research on identity, perception, and access became the intellectual foundation for the CIC Leadership Compass™.
Through her keynotes, consulting, and leadership development programs, she equips leaders to strengthen credibility, expand influence, and build cultures that hold under pressure. The result is leadership that earns fierce loyalty.
Leadership that earns fierce loyalty is not built on charisma. It is built on structure.
In Sole Impact, Dr. Raedene Copeland introduces the CIC Leadership Compass™, a framework built on Credibility, Influence, and Culture, to help leaders build trust, earn real commitment, and create environments where people stay because they want to, not because they have to.
Become the reason your best people stay.
