Rita Curtis

Rita Curtis is a leadership coach, author, and co-founder of Above The Line Academy. After more than a decade leading high-impact corporate teams, she now helps leaders develop emotional intelligence, presence, and the kind of grounded confidence that creates meaningful change.

Rita writes and teaches from a deeply human lens, blending practical wisdom with emotional clarity, compassion, and real-life experience. Her work centers on helping people feel understood, communicate with intention, and lead with both strength and heart.

When she isn’t coaching or writing, Rita loves exploring new places, finding beauty in everyday moments, and enjoying life with her son. She believes leadership begins with who we are long before it shapes what we do.
