Dr. Colby Peter, PhD

Dr. Colby Peters started Human Systems (HS) in 2016 with the mission of empowering organizations with research-based tools and processes that prevent burnout, reduce employee turnover, and improve overall well-being. Her Mindful Leadership|Mindful Growth model is based on her and others’ multidisciplinary research. As the first model of its kind, it addresses leadership challenges on multiple levels. Whether applied to individuals, relationships, or systems, it serves as the gold standard to conceptualize leadership in a way that invites all employees to participate in positive change-making practices.

Since the inception of HS, Dr. Peters has conducted over one hundred workshops with participants worldwide. Her website, featuring her research-based HS Emotion Wheels and Needs Wheels, receives over 15,000 visitors a month worldwide. Presently, her customers span five continents and forty-one countries. This includes collaborations with individuals and organizations on special projects in the US, Canada, India, and Taiwan.
