Alicia S. Huddleston, PhD

Alicia Huddleston is the principal consultant at Huddleston Consultants, LLC, as well as a researcher, author, and adjunct professor at DePaul University. As a respected national and international speaker, she leads and serves in business, education, and faith-based organizations. With seventeen years of leadership experience, she firmly believes that effective leadership is fundamental to any organization’s success. One of her core missions is to continue inspiring leaders through positive influence.

Through workshops, seminars, and conferences, Alicia shares practical insights and research drawn from her extensive and diverse experiences. Her current work and passion centers on The Leadership Exchange Summit, a national in-person gathering of intergenerational leaders across academia, business, faith-based organizations, government, and healthcare. This Summit provides an opportunity for leaders to analyze and discuss how their lived experiences (formative years, self-awareness, emotions, and decision-making) have impacted them as self-leaders and consequently shaped their organizational leadership. Using her neuroscience-based model, The I Framework©, participants are guided in exploring a fundamental leadership question: "What are people receiving in exchange for my leadership?"

Alicia holds a BA from Trinity International University, an M.Ed. from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Ph.D. from DePaul University.

"A leader who values serving and empowering others to reach their highest potential."

Training

The Leadership Exchange Summit is an immersive and transformative training experience for leaders at all levels. Grounded in The I Framework©, this training empowers leaders to step from behind their titles and lead with intrinsic insight, competence, and integrity. Through an intensive neuroscience based approach, participants embark on a journey of self-discovery—examining their formative years, self-identity, and lived experiences to understand how these factors have shaped their leadership practices.

This training provides a deeper understanding of the brain, mind, emotions, and decision-making processes, helping leaders assess their emotional intelligence and overall growth in both personal and professional spheres. Guided by five key themes, leaders engage in authentic self-examination to answer a pivotal question: “What are people receiving in exchange for my leadership?”

By the end of this training, participants will:

✓ Gain a deeper understanding of how their formative years have shaped their leadership.

✓ Develop greater self-awareness and a stronger leadership identity.

✓ Strengthen emotional intelligence and enhance ethical decision-making.

✓ Apply neuroscience principles to leadership development and personal growth.

Who Should Attend – Leaders on all levels and aspiring leaders.
