Where human performance, culture, and leadership align

Who we are:

This organization was founded out of a clear gap in the market: the need for high-quality, innovative, and truly interactive training that is both impactful and engaging. After more than a decade of providing trauma-informed consultation and leadership development across diverse systems, I saw firsthand how often trainings were either informative but uninspiring, or energizing but lacking depth. I created this company to bring together my clinical expertise, systems experience, and passion for meaningful learning to deliver trainings that are practical, thought-provoking, and yes — even enjoyable. Participants leave not only with new insight and actionable tools they can immediately apply in their work, but also with a sense of connection and shared experience. As the work has grown, so has the vision: to build a team of skilled trainers who expand our reach and amplify our mission to move society forward by strengthening leaders, transforming systems, and cultivating cultures of trust.

Testimonials:

“I’ve had the pleasure of attending several of Dr. Hernandez’s trainings on a variety of topics, and the very first one I attended was truly career-altering. Renee has a remarkable ability to create a space filled not only with insight and knowledge, but also with assurance and psychological safety.

One moment that has stayed with me to this day was during her introduction, when she shared expectations for the training and encouraged us to move around, stretch, or even lie down if needed, as long as we didn’t fall asleep. That simple statement spoke volumes. It showed her commitment to honoring different learning styles and creating an environment where participants could fully engage in the way that worked best for them.

Her content is consistently relatable, practical, and directly applicable to the work we do. Without question, she provides some of the best trainings I have ever attended.”
