Welcome!

I'm Chelo, founder and facilitator of The Anatoliah Exchange, where we help students become emotionally intelligent leaders by making better decisions.

​

Thank you for your precious time and for your interest in my work.

​

In 2012, I began a journey to help students address an issue that transcends race, nationality, gender, and economic background: the ability to make better decisions.

​

After working in corporate America for more than eight years, I realized my heart was being called somewhere else. I wanted to create something that could help young people understand that they were born with a unique capacity to lead lives of purpose, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence—not only in the classroom, but in the everyday decisions they make outside of school.

​

That calling led me to create The Anatoliah Decision-Making Roadmap—a simple, meaningful, and easy-to-follow framework designed to help students better understand themselves, their emotions, and the decisions that shape their lives.

​

Today, after inspiring thousands of students, I am deeply grateful and hopeful about what lies ahead.

​

It is my deepest desire to exchange my stories, wisdom, knowledge, and decision-making roadmap with school communities like yours—and to remind every student that the power to lead begins with the decisions they make within themselves.
