Lovelace Consulting Services, Inc. (Lovelace CSI) was founded in 2020 by Tonya Lovelace, a national leader with nearly 40 years of experience in leadership, strategy, movement building, and social change. Built on the belief that leadership is both strategic and human, Lovelace CSI works across sectors to support growth that is sustainable, equitable, and aligned with values.
We envision an inclusive world where people, organizations, and systems are valued and treated with dignity and are free from all forms of violence.
We provide high-level consulting, needs assessment, facilitation, executive coaching, technical assistance, and training to individuals, organizations, and systems seeking social, political, and professional transformation.
We offer a space to gain profound clarity, soul-centered growth, navigate complexity, align strategy with purpose, and achieve sustainable growth through insight-driven leadership and organizational support.
Our work is rooted in co-creation, deep listening, and shared leadership. We believe transformation happens not through top-down models, but through honest dialogue, intuitive insight, and values-aligned collaboration. We are strategic and intuitive, grounded in authentic lived experience.
Our success lies not only in the strategies we implement but in the leaders and organizations that continue to grow and innovate after our collaboration. The impact of our coaching and thought partnership is shown in their transformations and refreshed courage to embrace new challenges.
