How We Work
True Selves Consulting partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their talent by addressing a critical, unmet need: the lack of infrastructure and leadership focus required to help people truly thrive. We specialize in coaching, strategy, and culture development to create environments where individuals feel safe to be their true selves and organizations achieve measurable success.
Our work is rooted in the science of human behavior, blending principles of psychological safety, emotional intelligence, adaptive leadership, and neuroscience. By applying these insights, we develop tailored strategies that foster trust, engagement, and high performance—driving meaningful change for both individuals and organizations.
Research from Gallup indicates that low employee engagement costs the global economy approximately $8.9 trillion, or 9% of global GDP. When the team at True Selves Consulting partners with leaders to create cultures where trust, inclusion, and performance are equally prioritized—not as a “nice to have,” but as a strategic advantage that differentiates companies and drives measurable success—they see stronger engagement, innovation, and long-term growth.
Our Offerings
Empathy-Driven Coaching
We address a critical leadership gap by guiding leaders to balance their personal values with organizational demands while refining essential skills like communication. Through tailored coaching and team workshops we empower leaders to inspire and influence others while fostering meaningful, lasting connections that drive both individual and organizational success.
Improving & Optimizing Workplaces
We evaluate existing trainings and assessments to ensure they genuinely help employees feel included, heard, and seen. By identifying gaps and making strategic adjustments, we help organizations create workplace cultures that foster belonging, strengthen leadership effectiveness, and drive measurable impact.
Culture Transformation
We help leaders build emotional intelligence to create workplaces where employees feel valued, happy, and empowered to perform at their best. By strengthening self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills, we equip leaders to cultivate psychological safety, enhance workplace well-being, and inspire commitment—leading to happier employees and stronger business outcomes.
The Backbone of Great Culture is Great Communication.
“Effective communication is one of the most powerful tools in leadership—yet it’s often overlooked when building workplace cultures that foster authenticity and belonging. At True Selves Consulting, we use behavioral science to design infrastructures that make it safe for people to be themselves at work. Drawing on decades of experience—including my background leading global communications—I’ve built a framework that helps leaders connect with clarity, inspire with confidence, and cultivate environments where authenticity drives both engagement and performance."

Our Work
Case Study #1
Equipping Dentists for Leadership Success Within a DSO
The Challenge
The rise of Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) has transformed the dental industry, requiring dentists to balance team leadership with patient care. For many clinicians, this shift introduces new challenges—their work is no longer only to treat patients, but has evolved to require them to lead teams and build a practice culture.
Many dentists found themselves navigating complex leadership responsibilities, such as decision-making, team dynamics, and business strategy, often without the training or support needed to succeed. This created an opportunity to redefine leadership—not as a distraction from patient care but as an extension of their core mission to provide exceptional care while fostering a thriving, inclusive workplace.
Our Approach:
We partnered partnered with the DSO and clinical teams to build a leadership framework tailored to the unique needs of dentists, focusing on psychological safety, adaptive leadership, and communication strategies.
Coaching and Mentorship: Tailored one-on-one and group coaching programs to develop leadership and management skills.
Sensitivity Training: Online and in-person workshops to cultivate inclusive and respectful workplace cultures.
Executive Alignment: Annual retreats to reinforce shared values and leadership alignment across the organization.
Recruitment and Retention Strategy: Regional PR campaigns to attract women dentists and support long-term engagement.
The Results:
After year one our approach delivered measurable, sustained outcomes:
Increased Employee Satisfaction: Participating offices reported higher engagement and morale.
Enhanced Revenue Growth: A notable increase in sales of high-margin, non-treatment services due to improved office management and patient experience.
Boosted Retention: Higher retention rates among female dentists and office staff, reducing turnover costs and maintaining continuity in patient care.
The Insight:
Creating infrastructure that enables dentists to lead with confidence in a values-driven environment fosters stronger team dynamics, higher employee engagement, and sustainable practice growth
