isis fabian
is a neurodivergent educator, researcher, and certified coach, leveraging the power of divergent thinking to promote a radically hopeful vision for the future of humanity.
Isis Fabian is a Fellow at Coqual’s Global Lab for Better Work Futures, where they bring deep expertise in identity, intersectionality, and inclusive culture with a focus on neurodiversity and divergent thinking. A neurodivergent educator, researcher, and certified coach (ICF), Isis is known for translating complexity into insight—helping individuals and institutions navigate identity, power, and culture with clarity and compassion.
Over more than a decade, Isis has led and contributed to nationally representative, mixed-methods research across the U.S. and global markets including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Germany, Poland, India, Hong Kong, and Japan. Their work has explored a wide range of equity-focused issues, from implicit bias, microaggressions, and intergenerational dynamics to mentorship, inclusion, and perspectives outside of mainstream economic and cultural discourse.
At the same time, Isis has touched countless lives as a facilitator and coach, building spaces where people can reflect honestly, listen deeply, and move forward with purpose. Their work is animated by a belief in nuance, liberation, collective abundance, and an insistence on thinking beyond traditional, linear approaches to justice and problem-solving.
Isis identifies as white, agender, neurodivergent, and Buddhist, traits which heavily inform their perspective and approach to guiding personal transformation that unleashes the full spectrum of human potential. Recognizing the myriad interlocking challenges facing humanity today, Isis draws on a lifelong spiritual practice of lucid dream work and meditation to provide a grounding energy for those questioning long-held assumptions about the nature of being and their place in an increasingly uncertain future. Leveraging the gifts of neurodiversity and the power of divergent thinking, Isis meets people of all backgrounds where they are, inviting them to step outside of their own lens, look at the roots of their fears and judgments, and emerge with greater internal harmony, capacity, and motivation to breathe life into a brighter future on the personal and global level.

This foundation of nuanced intersectional awareness across identity groups and industries, along with my own experience being agender and neurodivergent, guides how I build accessible content on complex topics, coach people from historically advantaged and marginalized groups, facilitate conversations about identity and cultural awareness, interpret data and synthesize themes, and work to co-create a collective future that delivers freedom and abundance for all.
