About Us

REL Strategies helps organizations grow with integrity—bridging evidence, reflection, and heart-centered leadership to create lasting impact.

Founded by Jennifer L. Mursaloglu, PhD, REL Strategies combines rigorous evaluation with mindful practice to help teams learn, realign, and thrive. Our approach honors both measurable outcomes and the human stories that bring them to life.

Born from Jennifer’s own journey—from burnout to balance—REL Strategies stands at the intersection of data and consciousness. Through The Spiral Approach, we transform evaluation into a process of awareness and growth, inviting leaders to lead from center, act with compassion, and make decisions that align with purpose.

When we measure what truly matters, we don’t just improve programs—we evolve people, organizations, and possibilities. 🌕

What We Mean by Heart-Centered Leadership

Heart-Centered Leadership is the practice of leading with awareness, compassion, and authenticity while staying grounded in clarity and accountability. It invites leaders to pause, listen, and make decisions that align with both values and vision. When evidence and empathy work together, leadership becomes not just effective—it becomes human.
