Who We Are

Sonder Leaders was co-founded by Carly Glista and Mike Bowles. We are passionate about helping organizations, teams, and leaders create and thrive within a healthy work culture.

Sonder Leaders helps organizations hire right the first time, build high-performing teams, and retain top talent. We use the Working Genius model - developed by Patrick Lencioni - to help teams understand how each person is wired to contribute, where they get stuck, and what kind of work actually energizes them.

What makes us different? Our sessions are co-led by Mike and Carly - a generational and gender-diverse team offering insight and connection at every level of your organization.

Mike brings 30+ years of business experience and practical leadership insight. Carly brings fresh perspective and deep emotional intelligence, creating a safe space for team members to reflect and grow. Together, we bring clarity, trust, and energy to the teams we serve.

We were among the first 200 Working Genius certified facilitators in the world - and we don’t just teach it, we live it.

Both Carly and Mike have been Certified Working Genius Facilitators by The Table Group.
