From Our Founder

Since founding Diaz Inclusion Consulting in 2021, I have been guided by Albert Einstein’s words: "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." That curiosity fuels our work—helping organizations and their leaders think beyond the present, embrace change, and build for the future.

We work with leaders across the performing arts, education, and nonprofit sectors to navigate complex challenges—whether it's adapting to shifting markets, strengthening leadership, or creating cultures where people and ideas thrive. Sustainable organizations don’t just react to change; they anticipate it. Our research-driven, people-first approach helps teams develop the clarity, confidence, and strategy needed to stay ahead.

Every organization has a unique purpose, and we’re here to help you bring that purpose to life in a way that is future-focused, innovative, and deeply human. Our work is rooted in curiosity, empathy, and practical solutions—meeting you where you are and helping you take meaningful action.

Through decades of experience guiding organizations through change, we’ve seen firsthand the power of fresh thinking and intentional leadership. We look forward to supporting your journey toward a more connected, impactful, and sustainable future.
