Hogan M Sherrow

Evolutionary Coach

I am an Ivy League trained anthropologist who has studied behavioral ecology, evolution, neuroscience, psychology, biology, and conservation in Africa, Asia and the U.S. I have consulted for domestic and international governmental and non-governmental organizations, on conservation, politics, education, and development. I have spent over twenty years studying the evolution and development of leadership and teamwork in humans and our closest living relatives and have used my research as the foundation for developing unique leadership curricula, powerhouse branding, communications and public relations strategies for individuals and groups in the political, business, sports, education and non-profit arenas. When I'm not coaching a business leader, designing a brand strategy for a political candidate, or working with a team on coalition strengthening I can be found outside enjoying nature with my family.
