Ed Evarts is a Boston-based leadership and team coach, strategist, and podcast host who specializes in helping senior leaders within large organizations develop greater self-awareness about how others perceive them. Through his coaching practice at Excellius, he works with executives to identify and manage their strengths and weaknesses more effectively, and is the creator of the podcast "Be Brave @ Work: Stories About Courage in the Workplace."
Evarts’s coaching philosophy centers on empowerment and personal accountability. He believes that most professionals operate as passengers in their careers rather than drivers, primarily because they fail to invest quality time in genuine self-reflection, and advocates for developing stronger relationships with supervisors and colleagues through curiosity, transparency, and understanding others’ perspectives first.
In his book "Drive Your Career: 9 High-Impact Ways to Take Responsibility for Your Own Success," Evarts outlines a framework for career ownership that includes cultivating positive relationships with authority figures, practicing genuine curiosity, and demonstrating empathy as a foundational leadership skill.
