Who We Are
Essence In Consulting (EIC) was founded in 2017. Over the years, EIC has evolved to become a full service management consulting firm that provides a broad range of strategic solutions to support new and established leaders whose plates are full with responsibilities and could benefit from more capacity or skills to cover short to long term gaps in capacity and expertise. We provide hands on support to help leaders increase their capacity and organizational performance through targeted consulting.
Our consultants work shoulder-to-shoulder with executive level leadership, boards of directors, and cross-functional team leads to create and drive organizational strategies focused on improving efficiency and sustainability. We are committed to taking an equity-centered approach to building and maintaining impactful relationships that foster strong collaboration and thought partnership in pursuit of goal attainment. Our super power is uplifting the stories and strengths of our partners to drive toward impactful outcomes in every area of our collective work.
