Dr. Marisol Capellan works with organizations, researchers, universities, conference organizers, media, and leadership teams around questions of leadership, authority, responsibility, organizational power, employee voice, women’s leadership, and the changing role of human judgment at work.
The most useful inquiries begin with a clear sense of what you are trying to accomplish. You may be considering Dr. Capellan for a keynote, exploring a research collaboration, looking for an expert perspective for a media story, considering an organizational engagement through The Capellan Institute, or interested in using Leadership Is a Responsibility with a team, classroom, or larger group.
Use the inquiry form below or email coaching@marisolcapellan, and include enough context to start the conversation. Relevant details may include the organization, objective, audience, timeline, format, location, and the specific area of Dr. Capellan’s work that prompted the inquiry.
Speaking And Executive Conversations
Dr. Capellan speaks with conferences, professional associations, universities, companies, executive teams, and leadership programs seeking substantive conversations about how authority operates inside contemporary organizations.
Her principal speaking areas include Leadership Is a Responsibility, The Authority Gap, Who Gets Heard?, and human authority in AI-mediated organizations. Each topic is grounded in a larger body of work rather than developed as an isolated keynote, allowing organizations to engage a coherent perspective on leadership, power, judgment, and responsibility.
Speaking engagements can range from conference keynotes and moderated conversations to executive sessions and more interactive organizational discussions. The appropriate format depends on the audience and the depth of engagement required.
For speaking inquiries, please include the proposed date, location or virtual format, audience, approximate attendance, event purpose, preferred topic, and any information that would help clarify what the organization wants participants to understand or do differently after the conversation.
Research Collaboration
Dr. Capellan is developing a research program examining leadership, authority, responsibility, organizational voice, women and power, managerial legitimacy, and human authority in AI-mediated work. The program is currently moving through literature synthesis, construct clarification, theory development, and research design across several interconnected streams.
Potential research collaborators may include management and organizational-behavior scholars, research centers, interdisciplinary faculty, doctoral researchers, organizational partners, and practitioners with access to settings or data relevant to these questions.
A productive collaboration does not require agreement with the emerging ideas. In many cases, the most valuable contribution is rigorous challenge. Collaborators who can test assumptions, identify adjacent scholarship, strengthen methods, examine competing theoretical explanations, or help design credible empirical studies are particularly relevant to the development of the work.
If you are reaching out about research, please identify your institution or organization, research interests, the area of potential overlap, and the type of collaboration you have in mind.
Media And Expert Commentary
Journalists, editors, producers, podcast hosts, and other media professionals may contact Dr. Capellan for commentary related to leadership, organizational authority, managerial responsibility, women and power, employee voice, organizational justice, leadership development, and human managerial authority in AI-mediated organizations.
For time-sensitive media requests, include the outlet, story topic, specific questions or angle, interview format, deadline, and expected publication or broadcast timing. Providing those details at the outset makes it easier to determine quickly whether the request aligns with Dr. Capellan’s area of expertise.
Dr. Capellan’s commentary is intended to bring organizational and leadership analysis to public conversations rather than provide generalized opinion on every workplace issue. Where a request falls outside her expertise, the appropriate response may be to decline rather than stretch the scope of the work.
Organizational Advisory And Executive Education
Organizations interested in applying Dr. Capellan’s work more deeply can explore engagements through The Capellan Institute.
The Institute serves as the organizational and applied arm of the broader intellectual work. Potential engagements may include executive education, leadership development, organizational advisory, facilitated leadership conversations, research partnerships, and the eventual application of evidence-based tools emerging from the research program.
This distinction is intentional. MarisolCapellan.com is primarily the home of Dr. Capellan’s research, writing, public scholarship, and intellectual work. The Capellan Institute provides the structure through which selected ideas can move into organizational practice.
Organizations reaching out about applied work should include the business or leadership problem they are trying to address rather than requesting a predefined program without context. The strongest engagements begin by understanding the actual organizational issue before determining which intervention, if any, is appropriate. You may email coaching@marisolcapellan for organizational inquires.

Leadership Is A Responsibility
For Organizations
Organizations may also use Leadership Is a Responsibility as the foundation for leadership-team discussions, executive-development experiences, facilitated conversations, organizational reading programs, and other forms of collective learning.
The book is particularly relevant when organizations want to examine leadership beyond individual competency and consider how authority, opportunity, judgment, accountability, culture, and consequences operate together. Bulk adoption can be paired with a discussion guide or, where appropriate, a facilitated conversation that helps leaders connect the ideas to their own organizational environment.
When inquiring about organizational use, include the approximate number of participants, intended audience, desired timing, and whether the organization is considering books only or a broader learning experience.
Bulk & Organizational Adoption →
Professors And Universities
Faculty interested in using Leadership Is a Responsibility in a course, leadership program, executive-education setting, or academic discussion can request information about professor resources and classroom use.
The book can support conversations involving leadership responsibility, organizational behavior, authority, ethics, power, opportunity, employee voice, and managerial judgment. It may be particularly useful in courses where students are being asked to connect leadership theory with the consequences of real organizational decisions.
Academic inquiries should include the institution, course or program, anticipated enrollment, academic term, and how the book may fit into the curriculum. This information will help determine which resources would be most useful.
Book, Rights, And Publication Inquiries
Questions concerning the book, interviews about Leadership Is a Responsibility, educational use, large-scale adoption, rights, translations, or other publication-related opportunities can also be submitted through this page.
Please describe the nature of the request clearly so it can be routed appropriately. For bulk organizational use, the dedicated adoption page will generally be the most useful starting point. For academic use, the professor resource page should be used instead.
The broader goal is to make the book available in settings where it can support substantive leadership discussion rather than treat it primarily as a retail product.
General Professional Inquiries
Not every relevant conversation will fit neatly into one of these categories. There may be opportunities involving advisory boards, academic centers, research convenings, executive-education partnerships, fellowships, leadership initiatives, institutional collaborations, or other work that intersects with Dr. Capellan’s intellectual program.
Those inquiries are welcome when there is a meaningful connection to the work.
A useful message should explain what is being proposed, why Dr. Capellan is being approached specifically, what contribution is being requested, what other parties are involved, and any relevant dates or commitments. A specific proposal is easier to evaluate than a general invitation to “collaborate.” Please email coaching@marisolcapellan.com for any additional requests.
