We are Women-owned. Putting People First.
The Rise Journey is proud to announce that we are certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation's leading third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women.
The WBENC Certification process has confirmed that our business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and has the appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.
By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.
Our Founding Story
Founded in 2018, The Rise Journey is a organizational consulting firm that helps organizations reach ever-advancing horizons at the intersection of organizational culture and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Our mission is to provide high-value, metrics-driven support to facilitate positive organizational change, based on inclusion and social impact.
We address the gap in organizational development and DEIBA for growing and evolving organizations by meeting you where you are in your development journey.
That’s why our methodology and teams are built for agility and expertise, why we approach our work with empathy and compassion, and why we focus on measurable, sustainable growth.
Through analytics, strategy development, implementation and education, we create a meaningful impact on people and culture through:
Organizational Behavior and Design
Project and Change Management
DEI and Social Justice
Systems, Processes, and Policies
Mission, Values, and Vision
Environmental and Social Impact
Internal Communications
Our actively-practicing advisors bring unparalleled expertise and real-world experience to deliver results based on both best practices and cutting edge methods. We are structured to address the unique needs of your team to reach your specific goals.

What We Value
-
Authenticity
Show up. Be real. Admit mistakes. Stand for something. Demonstrate vulnerability.

-
No Ego
Keep yourself in the learners mindset. Be open to hearing other perspectives. Practice mindfulness and gratitude. Be aware of your actions, their outcomes vs. intent.
-
Community
Create goodwill. Be an agent of change. Bringing prosperity to your community is good for business. Build branding, recover from mistakes, and weather storms from a community foundation.

Big Picture
Take a step back. Plan and strategize for the future to avoid common pitfalls and prepare for natural pitfalls in advance.
