Dimple D. Dhabalia is a human-centered leadership coach and the founder of Roots in the Clouds. Dimple partners with leaders in mission-driven organizations to address root issues and design inclusive, human-centered workplace cultures where emerging and seasoned leaders across humanitarian sectors can learn how to preserve their humanity as they work to preserve it for others.

After almost two decades working at the crossroads of the government and humanitarian sectors, Dimple had experienced vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, moral injury, burnout, and anxiety. Like so many others, she worked in an organization that celebrated the resilience of the human spirit in the refugees and displaced persons they served, while failing to extend the same ethos to those working within their own organizations. Determined to educate and support heart-centered leaders, she developed and launched the Daring Leaders Project (DLP), the first mindfulness-based leadership development program of its kind within the federal government. Her vision and leadership earned her Director’s awards for Innovator of the Year and the Pillar of Leadership.

In 2021, Dimple launched Roots in the Clouds with a personal mission of putting the “human” back into humanitarian work. Today, Dimple’s cutting-edge work at the intersection of generational trauma and moral injury supports a holistic approach to addressing individual and organizational trauma using mindfulness, positive psychology, and principles of human-centered leadership. Her new book, Tell Me My Story–Challenging the Narrative of Service Before Self (Ambikia Media) is one leader’s message of hope, and a map to healing for those doing humanitarian work.
