Dr. Shani Byard is a South Los Angeles native, engaged community advocate, equity scholar and inclusive leadership professional. She has 22 combined years of experience coaching and developing leaders, from all backgrounds, for organizational and community empowerment and belonging.
Research shows that just 2 months into 2025, nearly half of employees say life was easier during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 74% want mental health resources that specifically address overwhelm from the political climate.
Let's discuss how Dr. Byard can improve workforce wellness at your social impact organization.
Inclusive people leaders gracefully shape strong cultures, and model active listening, courageous conversations, empowering critical feedback, reflective skill building and strategic change planning. Legacy Refresh offers these development experiences and more for your social impact organization as you navigate change.
Dr. Byard uses organizational assessments to inform a road map toward a culture where every voice is valued, diverse identities are embraced and collaboration thrives. Hiring, onboarding and the end-to-end talent experience are assessed as well. Through tailored coaching, trainings and strategic leader development, Dr. Byard empowers teams to co-construct an environment where inclusion is the foundation for lasting innovation, growth and retention.
People leader development experiences are customized online/in-person trainings. Participants level-up in safe and supportive spaces while practicing tools, language and mindsets for creating a more inclusive workplace. Learning experiences explore implicit bias, microaggressions and guidance for preventing and resolving interpersonal conflict. This tailored service teaches leaders to foster empowered communication, respect and collaboration with their peers and teams.
Legacy Refresh retreats (mini, extended day and overnight) are immersive, transformational experiences designed to empower your people leaders with the skills and insights needed to cultivate an inclusive and equitable workplace culture. The retreats offer a unique blend of personal reflection, skill building, nature therapy and community building, designed to strengthen human connection, gain clarity on direction and collectively develop an agile strategic plan.
Leader empowerment coaching offers 1:1 and small group sessions to equip your people leaders with the mindset and skills to champion inclusion initiatives. Safe spaces for role playing, critical feedback, uncovering their own solutions from within and practical application of empowerment tools make coaching sessions effective and transformative.
Experiences offered by Dr. Byard are designed to empower the inner spirit and offer reflective skill building for participants.
All experiences are inclusive of all identities & occur online/in-person. Dr. Byard embraces nature, affirmations, multi-media, journaling, breathing, visioning, mindfulness and discussions.
