Meet Lewis Brown Griggs

Griggs Coaching & Facilitating

Lewis Brown Griggs is an executive coach, facilitator, and speaker based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For over 30 years, Lewis has helped leaders—from Fortune 500 executives to nonprofit founders—grow from unconscious bias to authentic, inclusive leadership.

A Journey With Purpose

After a near-death experience and spiritual awakening, Lewis returned to life with a mission: to help others deepen their connection to themselves and the communities they serve. As a straight white male who’s done the personal work, Lewis brings a unique and powerful perspective to DEIB conversations—one rooted in humility, integrity, and lived transformation.

A Human-First Approach to Coaching

Lewis doesn’t use shame or blame. Instead, he creates safe, reflective spaces where leaders can:

  • Explore identity, privilege, and discomfort with honesty

  • Build emotional and cultural intelligence

  • Move from reactive leadership to conscious, value-aligned action

  • Model inclusion in a way that’s human, not performative

Lewis created a safe space where I could explore my privilege without shame. His coaching gave me the confidence to lead more authentically, and it changed the way I show up for my team—and my life.

— Michael T., VP of Product, Tech Company

“We brought Lewis in during a difficult time. There were racial tensions within our leadership team, and people didn’t trust each other. In just one session, Lewis helped us say what needed to be said. The healing began that day.”

— Tasha B., Director of People & Culture

“Lewis is one of the few white male speakers who can speak on DEI without performative energy. His vulnerability, humor, and lived transformation resonate across all backgrounds. Our audience was riveted.”

— Event Organizer, Nonprofit Leadership Summit
