The Berkeley Executive Coaching institute helped Fortune 500 companies, leading business schools, government agencies and social-action groups around the world make a positive impact on their organizations and their own lives.
For over thirty years, Dr. Mark Rittenberg has helped organizations create communities of excellence among their people and empowered individuals to become true leaders with the ability to actualize a vision all through the power of communication. Dr. Rittenberg’s experience extends around the globe, across cultures and across industries.
Dr. Rittenberg’s Executive coaching practice includes clients from major consulting firms, Fortune 100 companies, Sandia National Laboratory, Lockheed Martin Corporation, GAP Inc., Transnet Corporation (South Africa), Sasol Corporation (South Africa) and the AT&T Corporation. In addition, he trains executive coaches and directs the Executive Coaching Institute through the University of California, Berkeley Executive Education.
In 1985, Professor Rittenberg was visiting Artist and Teaching Fellow at Harvard University where he conducted seminars in the Graduate School of Education and the Harvard Business School. In 1993, he was awarded the J. William Fulbright Senior Scholar awarded by the United States Information Agency and traveled to Soweto, South Africa, where he served as Diversity Specialist in building black/white relationships in South African corporations and education institutions. He returned to South Africa in 1994, 1995, and 1996 in order to implement Active Communicating Educational Programs as a communication intervention to assist corporate and political leadership in the transition to a multicultural, democratic, non-racial South Africa. His doctorate in International and Multicultural Education is based on his work in South Africa.
Dr. Mark Rittenberg also created the Brand Ambassador Program in the 1980’s when he led a culture change program for USA Department of Energy, Gap Inc., and AT&T. This highly effective program was used by AVIS Southern Africa in 2004 to take them from #3 to #1 in the marketplace where they have remained. Dr. Rittenberg’s methodology has successfully created culture change and value-based change programs globally from the UAE, Asia, Africa to the USA.
Additionally he currently teaches expressive communication and presentation in Executive Education Programs at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley, the University of San Francisco, the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, and the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis.

OUR WORLD AT WORK IS IN CRISIS…
Within my 20 year experience working with large organizations, I can confidently say that the majority of people do not feel valued or empowered at work. As a result, they’re disengaged and don’t feel they belong, and that limits their ability to achieve extraordinary results.
We have the opportunity to change that with human leadership. Human leadership means seeing people as people.
It means showing up with empathy, understanding, and compassion. It means having the courage to be vulnerable, admit weakness, and ask for help. It means being brave enough to lean into hard conversations and taking ownership in igniting positive change—instead of waiting for someone else to do it. It means building a better workplace together.
In this kind of culture, people feel connected, empowered, and cared for. Trust grows. Relationships deepen. Teams align. Engagement soars—and we accomplish more results for the Business than in the ‘old ways of working’ . This is the power of human leadership.
Leading in this way requires a different way of showing up and supporting the people around you. It requires bravery and a willingness to lead with your humanity. It requires you to deeply care. If we need our people to spend at least 8 hours of their day at work, we are responsible to provide them an environment where every single person feels cared for and empowered. An environment where their value to the organization is clear and goes beyond the transactional.
