Hi. I'm Chaka Booker.
I'm a chief people officer, HarperCollins author, Forbes contributor, former managing director of The Broad Center (now hq'd at Yale School of Management), and Pahara Fellow at The Aspen Institute.
That's a lot of fancy words.
What it adds up to is deep expertise in leadership development, recruitment & selection, strategic planning,
program design, facilitation, performance management, diversity & inclusion, and culture building.
That's still a lot of fancy words.
So, what it really means is I'm a consultant who specializes in three things:
Leadership Workshops
A defining characteristic of great organizations is the investment they make in their people and their ability to create inclusive high performing cultures. Whether it’s the nuts & bolts of managing teams or defining vision, mission, and values—my approach is to deliver workshops focused on rapid skill building in the areas that are most impactful for your team.
People & Culture Consulting
The moment you post a job description you begin a journey filled with opportunities to strengthen your organization and increase employee engagement. My role as a consultant is to assess your current talent processes, identify strengths and development areas, and give you specific strategies that will maximize organizational and individual success.
Program Design & Facilitation
Whether you need customized professional development, a skilled facilitator for retreats, or anything in between, I'll leverage my 15+ years of experience with program design, facilitation, panels, fireside chats, debriefs, and retreats to provide your team with an experience that has the engagement, authenticity, and clarity needed to catalyze the power of group interactions.
