Over the past two decades, I have gained deep administrative and leadership expertise in higher education by serving in various capacities at both large, research-intensive urban universities and private institutions, where I have successfully led teams of non-academic staff while influencing academic, operational, and leadership decisions. My areas of accountability have spanned from HR and finance/budget administration, IT, facilities, departmental operations, scholarships, contracts, and legal agreements, to maintaining and implementing college and university policies and procedures.

Before transitioning to higher education, I worked as a trainer, consultant, and trusted advisor in the nonprofit sector, helping multinational manufacturing and automotive corporations tackle intercultural communication challenges. 

As a higher education coach and consultant, it is my privilege to continually leverage my deep understanding of college and university organizational leadership and communication dynamics to help my clients achieve meaningful, impactful, sustainable, and transformational results.

A Wiley Everything DiSC® Certified Practitioner and ICF- and Board-certified professional coach with additional certifications as a Culture Change, Strategic Planning and Execution, and Change Leadership Coach, I focus on helping leaders, such as department chairs, directors, and mid-/college-level administrators, navigate pressing challenges. I am especially passionate about developing new leaders transitioning from faculty and staff positions to leadership or supervisory roles. At the same time, I maintain a close network with current and former deans, provosts, and university (vice) presidents whom I have coached in short-term solutions-focused engagement around specific leadership challenges.

As such, my coaching experience spans the full width of administrative and academic leadership, allowing me to leverage my unique insights to help clients understand the complexities and implications of leadership actions across their institutions.

At Michiki Morgan Worldwide, I currently serve as Coaching Team Lead for a bench of professional leadership coaches supporting a campus-wide development initiatives at large and complex organizations, such as The Ohio State University and the University of North Texas System.

An independent affiliate consultant with Gateway International Group, I work with international higher education leaders to devise innovative instructional solutions for students to attain enhanced global skills and intercultural communicative competencies.

An engaging trainer, speaker, and presenter on topics ranging from organizational communication, intercultural skills, learning and development, and language acquisition to coaching, I have logged well over 12,000 hours transforming minds, building bridges, and helping professionals grow and develop.

I holds an earned doctorate (Ed.D.) in Higher Education Leadership from Georgia State University. I am a Board (CCE-BCC) and ICF-Certificed coach (ACC), as well as an Everything DiSC® Certified Practitioner, Certified Agile Coach (ICP-ACC) and Agile Team Facilitator (ICP-ATF).
