Leah Brown, former corporate lawyer and general counsel at a Goldman Sachs-backed fintech, left the boardroom to pursue a deeper calling: guiding leaders through conflict, broken trust, and organizational change. Drawing on her lifelong background in mediation and conflict resolution, she founded The Wayfinders Group, a consultancy at the intersection of business and ministry. In a conversation with Rabbi Rami Goldberg on the Biblical Money podcast, Brown explained how her approach shifts executives from avoidance to reconciliation by creating safe spaces where leaders can be honest, vulnerable, and truly heard. Rather than diagnosing problems like a lawyer, she listens and helps leaders envision not just quick fixes, but long-term transformation.At the heart of her work lies her faith. Brown is clear that her strength comes from God, whose heart for reconciliation inspires her mission. She prays before mediations and tough conversations, trusting that God can open pathways where none seem possible. By blending practical conflict resolution with spiritual conviction, she challenges leaders to go beyond “agreeing to disagree” and instead move toward genuine trust and healing. Rabbi Goldberg noted how rare and refreshing it is to see such honesty in the business world, where ego often rules. For Brown, reconciliation isn’t simply a strategy—it’s a calling, and through The Wayfinders Group, she hopes to reshape how leaders navigate both conflict and purpose.
