Zena Consulting at a Glance

I founded Zena Consulting in 2008, to help leaders manage teams, build more inclusive organizations, and compete in the USA's increasingly diverse marketplace.  


Initially launched as a training firm, we've since added leadership communication and conflict management to support clients' goals.

6 FACTS ABOUT US

Read how we're different, who we serve, and what to expect when you buy our top services: leadership communication, conflict management, or inclusion strategies. 

  • Small, nimble, and ready to jump into large or late projects. 
  • Strength-based solutions backed by market research
  • Cross-cultural connections— we open doors to new opportunities and partnerships.  
  • Cross-sector experience — we know how to move between them.
  • Translate complex concepts into plain language
  • Nuanced communication skills — we're candid and diplomatic when it counts.


It's a foundational part of Leadership Development. We help clients bridge the difference between interpersonal and organizational communication. No matter how smart and accomplished you are, communicating effectively across systems is a more complex (but learnable) skill. 


We work with Washington state and USA-facing leaders from all sectors, from offices in Seattle and Bellingham:

  • Executive directors and boards
  • Small business owners
  • Corporate executives and teams
  • Government agency managers and prime contractors
  • Professional associations


I use proven tools and methodologies to help people understand themselves and others — so teams can work together more effectively and leverage conflict. 


See Education and Credentials below.  


My PORTFOLIO touches on the many kinds of business communication I've written over the years: inclusion audits, grants, research, marketing collateral and more.


FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

  • Stronger team performance and service delivery
  • Less conflict, more alignment
  • Better ability to attract and keep talented people, customers, funders, and community partners


FOR YOU AS A LEADER

  • More confidence navigating difficult conversations
  • Fewer communication mishaps — and faster recovery when they happen
  • Clearer strategies for reaching audiences you haven't reached yet


Yes, I'm certified and have coached teams in Adaptive Leadership, cultural competency, and conflict resolution. I've also developed a personalized EXECUTIVE ADVISOR package for clients who want a private sounding board, or short and targeted engagement to answer specific questions and resolve problems they struggle with.

Lee is like a midwife in understanding what we need. She was so encouraging through this process. The strategic communications audit helped us coordinate our board and resources, which impressed donors.
