Carrie Sue Casey
Founder and Principal
A workshop planner and facilitator, Carrie Sue honed her approach through international experience, government service, and nonprofit and corporate ventures. She managed national security accounts from Spain to Liberia and introduced human-centered design in tricky environments, including in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the US interagency, and in international contexts.
Over 14 years at the Pentagon, she cultivated respect for our military, nerded out on international affairs, and wore many hats (and shoes), including foreign affairs specialist and Deputy Director of the Leadership and Organizational Development shop. Guiding leaders and teams through political transitions deepened her perspective on effective governance and strategic decision-making. An academic background in peace operations, with specialization in post-conflict societies and gender, adds additional elements to her toolbox.
Carrie Sue has a Master’s in Public Policy and is a certified CliftonStrengths Coach and LUMA Human-Centered Design Instructor. She prefers her books in hardback, her linens vintage, and her BBQ from Memphis 🎸.
What We Do
We design and facilitate strategic workshops and initiatives to support leaders and teams through planning for and thriving through change.
We use design-thinking and CliftonStrengths to foster problem-solving. With DoD, Interagency, and policy-making and defense institution building chops, we prioritize action based on framing the problem and listening.
We've facilitated scores of workshops for leaders, infusing sessions with engagement and generating concrete next steps. In so doing, we have contributed to performance enhancement and organizational health in the government, corporate, and non-profit worlds, and…we’ve made so many friends!
