Nate Mladenovic — Consultant and Coach

I am an independent consultant and coach based in Seattle, WA. I founded Wisdom & Method in 2024 to help leaders and teams express their full potential and make their greatest impact.

Experience

Prior to founding Wisdom & Method, I worked at Deloitte Consulting, where I specialized in organization design and leader development, joining after earning a graduate degree from Cornell University in Industrial and Labor Relations. During my consulting work and graduate studies, I saw how instrumental consulting and coaching could be at catalyzing change within individuals and teams.

Before becoming a consultant and coach, I held multiple leadership roles at organizations in the vanguard of social change. Whether it was attempting to reform the criminal justice system, improve mental healthcare, or end homelessness, I experienced firsthand how critical strong leaders and effective organizations are in facing complex problems—especially those with no clear solutions.

At the beginning of my career, I spent five years soul-searching by living abroad, trying creative pursuits, and studying different contemplative practices. This allowed me to experiment with different life paths in order to find what I was truly passionate about.
