Transforming Workplaces with Liberation-Focused Consulting
Customized strategies to help higher education and social impact organizations move beyond surface-level programs and create cultures of care that last.
Why Consulting
Institutions and organizations often rely on short-term programs that don’t address the deeper issues eroding morale, retention, and trust. Leaders may sense the need for systemic change but lack a roadmap that honors both people and results.
That’s where consulting comes in.
My consulting engagements provide a structured, values-driven process to identify barriers, reimagine systems, and build sustainable cultures of liberation and belonging.
Who I Partner With
I work with:
Higher education institutions — from academic departments to executive leadership teams.
Social impact nonprofits — organizations serving communities through justice, equity, and quality-of-life initiatives.
These leaders are ready to do more than “check the box.” They want meaningful change that strengthens both their people and their mission.
What We Focus On
Every consulting partnership is tailored, but common areas include:
Aligning institutional or organizational values with daily practices
Building cultures of thriving that attract and retain talented colleagues
Addressing burnout and disengagement at a systemic level
Shifting from performative DEI programs to liberation-focused strategies
Developing leaders at all levels to create ripple effects across the organization
My Approach
My consulting approach blends:
Experience as a higher ed leader — bringing firsthand understanding of institutional dynamics.
Psychological expertise — applying insights into behavior, motivation, and organizational culture.
Liberation frameworks — rooted in my book, Leading Toward Liberation, offering tools that connect vision to implementation.
I don’t deliver one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I collaborate closely with leaders to co-create strategies that fit their unique context and challenges.
