Yes! If you want more privacy or a different pace ask Lee about COACHING options, with her and/or Zena Associates Ron Higgs and Tom Rosenak. 


Clients rely on Lee's synergist and persuader skills to navigate culturally complex communication and conflicts. She uses practical TOOLS to help people understand themselves and others better, so they can work together more easily. 


In addition to degrees in journalism and sociology, she's certified in training, facilitation, and leadership. See her credentials below. Lee's communication portfolio includes most forms of business writing (ad copy, grants, marketing collateral, reports, audits, etc.), and supporting research.

There's a big difference between personal and organizational communication. Everyone uses the first but only leaders, mangers, and supervisors need to develop the second. This requires different information, and usually includes cultural knowledge, to be effective in today's workplace. Closing this gap is our expertise.


Maybe. We start every project asking what you already know and look for gaps to fill. 

If you want more information about different cultural groups in your organization or target market, we provide it. Our core inclusion topics are culture and faith/religion. 


Yes and no. DEI has gotten a bad rap because it's been vaguely defined within the industry and is poorly understood by the public. DEI is not affirmative action. It's about reaching the most people. Diversity is a reality, not a bad word. Inclusion is any effort you make to get people to work for you, work together better, or buy what you sell. You may or may not have equity- which simply means fair access- as a goal. 


Founder/owner Lee Mozena is not, our co-trainers often are. American Muslim and Arab are just two of many community groups we've worked with. ​Clients say the tools and information we share helps them improve outreach results. 


We do offer inclusion training and presentations on Culture & Religion workshops and presentations that will answer many of your questions about Islam.

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.
