I founded KT Ward Consulting to support organizations doing the hard work of building more just, resilient communities. With over 15 years of experience in organizational strategy, leadership development, and systems change, I help nonprofits strengthen their foundations, while centering equity, inclusion, and well-being.

 

My work is grounded in both research and lived experience. I hold a Master of Science in Organizational Development, a Master of Arts in Human Development, and I’m completing my PhD in Organizational Development and Change with a concentration in Inclusive Leadership. This unique combination of academic expertise and real-world consulting informs my trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach to every engagement.

 

In addition to my consulting work, I conduct independent research exploring racialized stress, organizational wellness, and systems that impact Black professionals. Through my Substack, I share insights, practical tools, and strategies for building more equitable, resilient organizations.
