We eat change for
breakfast, lunch and dinner!
OUR SECRET INGREDIENT
(ISN’T REALLY A SECRET)
One of our unique attributes is our focus on culture. If your organization is experiencing low retention, leadership challenges or struggling to capture greater market share, there’s a chance you may have an unhealthy, undefined or underdeveloped culture.
Driving culture change requires a clear alignment between your values and beliefs, a strong business case, employees who are engaged in the change process, and a plan to implement your culture change goals. Our team will develop a strategic change initiative that will take your goals to the next level! One ticket to the moon, please.
Our transformational mindsets course helped
leaders feel 64% more confident in creating
psychological safety in the workplace.

MEET OUR FOUNDER AND CHIEF OF CHANGE
Dr. Yewande Austin
Dr. Yewande Austin is a renowned Organizational Strategist whose work has reached over 250,000 people across 34 countries including 23 African nations. As an honorary U. S. Cultural Ambassador, she has proudly supported the United States Department of State’s mission to promote diplomacy and culture for 14 years. Awarded with an Honorary Doctorate in Humanitarianism from Stanford University (UK), this renowned TED speaker has also been recognized as a 2017 President Barack Obama Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and 2023/2020 Rising Woman - one of 35 women transforming the future of Africa. She was most recently summoned to India to share her social impact work with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. And if you’ve never met a chief before, Dr. Austin is the first woman to be crowned as Chief of the Obosi Kingdom in Anambra, Nigeria for her dedication to the diaspora.
Dr. Austin’s academic roots in classical vocal performance, business and ethnomusicology (Howard University, Carnegie Mellon University and University of Sheffield in England), are the foundation of her innovative approach to organizational change. For the last 20 years, her consultancy, ONE CHANGE (formerly the Global Institute for Diversity and Change), has provided over 2,000 organizations with high impact strategies. Among many of her distinguished clients, Dr. Austin has presented extensive research on gender inclusion to the International Rescue Committee, which restores stability to people affected by humanitarian crises in 50 countries. She has delivered racial equity work to the United Nations Development Programme’s Corporate Anti-Racism and Discrimination Advisory Board, and the United Nations International Maritime Organization (UK) which governs security shipping policies in 175 countries around the world.
In 2020, she was honored to serve as Governor Ralph Northam’s Special Advisor in the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – the first state agency of its kind in Virginia and the nation. From 2020-2022, she served as Chief Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Advisor for 7 Mindsets where her evidence-based JEDI framework taught more than 5 million K-12 students and educational professionals learn how to foster a culture of equity. In 2015, her humanitarian organization, Change International, was the first to provide emergency childhood education to IDP’S (Internally Displaced People) that escaped Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria. Dr. Austin was honored to present her IDP sustainable community model at the 2022 Climate Change Forum in Bahrain, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the 2019 United Nations General Assembly as an exemplar of their 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
