StrivEquity Consulting LLC, led by Founder & Managing Principal David DeVaughn, is a dynamic racial equity-focused leadership development consulting firm, specializing in executive coaching and leadership development for mid-career Black, Brown, and people of color professionals, who seek nuanced validation, tools, and guidance in pursuit of personal and professional growth.

Our Equity-Responsive Leadership (ERL) approach combines two key realities that Black, Brown, and people of color professionals are facing: (1) seeking equitable approaches and outcomes in their teams, institutions, and work, and, (2) navigating expectations from their institutions to lead equity-focused organizational work, which is usually unacknowledged, un/under paid, with hyperfocus on transformational results with limited commitment and resources.

The ERL executive coaching approach is structured around a seven-step journey, guiding leaders through the internal, interpersonal, institutional, and structural challenges and opportunities they face. It sharpens their self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and vision for their work-life relationship. Our services encompass leadership coaching, organizational development, strategic advisory, and keynote speaking, which are tailored to meet the unique needs of organizations committed to fostering equitable outcomes.

Our clients frequently commend the game-changing nature of StrivEquity's coaching, spotlighting our deep understanding, active engagement, and empathy that fuel their personal and organizational success.
