DALISIA
Hi, I’m Dalisia...
I am a speaker, coach, consultant, author, and podcaster with a passion for helping talented leaders find their unique power and impact in our world. But I started in the trenches, quite literally, leading in the military, then in corporate and federal organizations.
I’ve led the design and implementation of organizational strategy, human capital strategy, succession planning, multi-tiered leadership and executive development programs, workforce enggagement, change management, and large scale culture initiatives.
My mission now is to educate, coach, and rally support for the brilliant people who have what it takes to change their organizations and communities for the better. I specialize in organizational effectiveness, executive coaching, workforce development, and (a passion project) dissovling resistance to women’s leadership in the U.S. and abroad–because the truth is…
My Story
Perhaps like you, I’ve always been the strong one in the bunch wherever I landed, whether in school, the military, relationships, or in my career. I spent decades learning to soften and adjust for others–to the point of almost losing my true self. But muting our gifts never benefits the organizations we serve.
I chose to stop that spiral and regain my unique identity by exploring the roots of resistance to women’s leadership and sharing how we can overcome it to change our lives and our world.
Why I care... a lot!
I believe every global and local crisis could be solved by inspiring more women to assume co-leadership in our world. But we must be allowed to lead without the hurdles of illogical resistance and conflict.
When the world tells us we are too direct, tough, or (worse) “aggressive,” we begin apologizing, holding back, and silencing our voices for others to earn their acceptance–and it’s never enough.
Women must learn to overcome this cycle to change our world for the better! Read more in my book:
Strong Women Rising: How to Overcome Resistance, Build Trust, and Change our World.
