Organizational Authenticity revives

what organizational tension erodes.

When who your organization says it is (brand), who it really is (culture), and who it aspires to become (strategic vision) align with the values of colleagues and customers, this is Organizational Authenticity. 

This resonance between organization and individual is brand-strengthening, community-changing, company powering – and in high demand.

It’s what I’ll help you nurture.

I’m Becky,

a cross-disciplinary leader with a background in people & culture, marketing, corporate citizenship, DEI, nonprofit leadership, community organizing, adult education, and horse+human development.

Organizational Authenticity is my mission.

Here’s why: When we experience people as inauthentic it threatens connection. “I’m not buying what they’re selling.” When employees and customers experience organizations as inauthentic in their ambitions and disconnected from their values it does the same — building tension and promising dissatisfaction, or worse, disengagement.

I work in partnership across organizations,

with all departments, to uncover behaviors, systems, and beliefs creating organizational tensions – because Organizational Authenticity requires, well, the organization. All of it. I often find my solutions strengthen the following:

  • Leadership Potential, Purpose + Presence

  • Team Dynamics + Performance

  • People Experience, Culture + Brand

  • Corporate Citizenship Strategy + Engagement

As a people-first leader I begin by listening,

and searching for tension within the employee and customer experience through inquiry + through observation. Here’s what I find:

Organizational tension has 6 predictable beginnings.

  1. Values “The organization does not care for and live my highest values.”

  2. Voice “My voice is not welcomed, respected, and influential.”

  3. Validation “I am not recognized for my successes and coached through my setbacks.” 

  4. Progress “I am not able to make progress toward my goals as quickly as I’m able.”

  5. Potential “My full potential is not made possible - and my full self is not sought.”

  6. Purpose “I am not doing work with meaning beyond money.”

As an organizational strategist I study the strategy and compare its asks and promises with the colleague and customer experience. As a brand & communications leader I get to know the employer and customer brand, and search for incongruent values and messaging misalignments that confuse or contradict.

Milestones power progress,

toward the authentic organization you believe is possible.

One where managers and leaders know how to manage and lead. Honest, communication with colleagues and customers gives them agency to decide and do. Teaching, coaching, and mentoring are always, not afterthoughts. Software, systems, and programs are efficient and helpful. High moral and ethical standards power the triple bottom toward a thriving future. And we take the time to listen to customers, colleagues, and to community. Can you imagine?

  1. Problem statement(s) articulation

  2. People-centered tension exploration

  3. Structural and behavioral analysis

  4. Structural change planning

  5. Behavioral change teaching

  6. Brand (employer & customer) evolutions

  7. Program strategy & design as needed

  8. Strategic plan evolution as needed

Organizational Authenticity is measurable.

If you’re a leader pushing beyond,

‘the way things have always been done around here’ and into the way things should be. A leader brave enough to lead work that will move beyond right-now profitability demands, and into a thriving future. A leader courageous enough to take together the next wise step — not just the next right one. A leader known for values like humility, curiosity, ingenuity, moral courage, collaboration, equity, and environmentalism.

Organizational Authenticity is yours to lead.

Let’s begin exploring together.

In my many years experiencing and leading adult education, I’ve found no greater teacher than a wild mustang, and no greater time than now to look to nature for guidance.

Ask about horse & human development

My adult learning journeys are either half-day, full-day, or multi-day. They’re custom created to attend to your organization’s tensions. I offer virtual, on-site, and off-site nature-based experiences with native species and wild horses.

Anyone who thinks they’re too small to make a difference, never met a honey bee.
