Kadian Douglas is a CPA, CISA, executive, former NCAA Division I All-American athlete, Women’s Football Alliance All-Star, and Founder and Chief Performance Officer of Kadian Performance Institute.
Her work asks a question most people are rarely taught to consider. What if the strengths that helped you succeed do not have the same value in every season of your life?
Kadian’s own life has required her to confront that question repeatedly. She has moved between elite athletics and corporate leadership, navigated moments when the path she expected was no longer available, and learned that determination and achievement do not always tell you what to do next.
Drawing from her experience in audit, cybersecurity, leadership, track, and women’s tackle football, she developed the Human Balance Sheet™, a framework for examining the assets, liabilities, patterns, decisions, and conditions that influence how people perform and make decisions.
She is the author of Think in Pencil, The 4R Framework for Adaptive Judgment in Leadership, Performance, and Life. The book explores what happens when the qualities, assumptions, and strategies that helped you get where you are need to be reconsidered for where you are going.
Through her writing, speaking, and work with organizations, Kadian invites people to take a more accurate look at themselves and make decisions based on what their lives require now.
