Reola Phelps’ vision and extensive experience led
to the formation of the Headwaters Leadership Group and the
custom-built programs it now offers. Reola’s core strengths
are designing and leading large-scale projects and initiatives
and inspiring leaders and teams to create and implement desired
futures. Her clients include nationally and internationally
based companies.
Reola currently is leading a year-long leadership development
program for a division of General Electric and recently concluded
a strategic planning program with Harrah’s. She led
a major initiative at Philip Morris USA to reduce costs and
inefficiencies and served as the business coach for a large
division of General Motors on a similar project. As a result
of her efforts, both companies substantially reduced inefficient
processes, resulting in millions of dollars of savings. Reola
has coached the executive leadership team of Shell Europe
Oil Products on leadership, focus and team development in
their pursuit to be the strongest company in Europe. Reola
has worked with Fortune 500 companies on consulting projects
in China, the Philippines, India, Singapore, Guatemala, Venezuela,
and South Korea, as well as in numerous countries in Africa
and Europe.
Before founding Headwaters, Reola held a number of senior
executive positions. As principal of Generon Consulting in
Boston, she led major corporate transformation and innovation
projects. She was vice president of Executive Development
Associates, and co-founder of Executive Ventures Group consulting
firm, and served as president of the American Leadership
Forum, an organization that provides leadership development
programs to diverse community leaders throughout the United
States. Reola has been active with Colorado’s Outward
Bound School, serving as director of corporate programs and
developing and implementing programs for educators and adult
women. She currently serves on the board of the non-profit
organization Africa Bridge, and oversees operations of an
orphanage for children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in Tanzania.
Personal and professional challenge and adventure are what
life is all about for Reola. She has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro,
trekked through Nepal and driven across the Tibetan plateau.
Reola is an avid bicyclist who has led biking trips through
Scotland and Ireland, and has done extensive cycling in Colorado,
Vermont, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, France
and Switzerland. Reola holds degrees in English, Music, and
Education from Brigham Young University and a Master’s
Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Colorado.
