- Meet Keisha A. RiversPresident & Chief Change Officer
Change is a process that begins with an event...
What is YOUR sweet spot?
"When I found myself sitting in my attic during Hurricane Katrina with rising flood waters rushing into the house, I realized that change was upon me.
Five days later when I was airlifted out of New Orleans and placed on a plane going who knows where, I knew I was starting a new chapter.
When I arrived at a Red Cross evacuee camp and saw the chaos around me, I knew life would never be the same.
When I made the decision to get involved, I felt I could make an impact.
When my efforts created successful outcomes, I knew I had found my sweet spot."
~Keisha A Rivers
My journey personally and professionally has provided a framework to enable me to assist and support organizations and communities in their efforts to create safe spaces for their people to feel seen, heard and valued in the midst of uncertainty. If your people are experiencing change or uncertainty -- let's talk.
