Rosalind Cardinal
Rosalind Cardinal is an award-winning organisational development consultant, leadership strategist, and the creator of the Women’s Leader Archetypes™ — a breakthrough model helping women reclaim power that feels authentic, intentional, and deeply their own.
For more than three decades, Ros has coached senior leaders across government, corporate, and non-profit sectors, specialising in leadership behaviour, political intelligence, organisational culture, and the psychology of influence. Her work blends evidence-based practice, systems thinking, archetypal frameworks, and the lived realities of women leading in complex environments.
Ros is best known for turning intricate ideas into practical, usable tools. She teaches leaders and coaches how to navigate power, purpose, and politics with clarity, emotional intelligence, and strategic presence. Through her signature diagnostics, leadership programs, and speaking work, she helps women move from performance to genuine leadership — the kind that shapes teams, organisations, and futures.
On The Archetype Effect, Ros brings all of this together: part insight, part strategy, part grounded wisdom. Expect rich conversations, archetype deep-dives, personal reflections, and the kind of leadership truths that shift how you see yourself and your place in the world.
