Hi, I’m anastacia johnson.
For over 15 years, I have been a practitioner of adult learning, people-centered strategy, and organizational development. I've poured my heart (and mind) into building leadership capacity and advancing our collective social responsibility. From my days in the classroom, where I designed creative and impactful lessons rooted in our neighborhood’s values, to leadership roles in organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, I've always believed in the power of people to transform communities.
I'm here to bring that same focus and skill to your priorities. Whether it's conceptualizing emergent strategies, fostering inclusive cultures, or finding ways to infuse shared values into your work, I'm all in. Let's collaborate and do good together!
approach
Our consultative tools help clients assess what's going on, make the right changes, and evaluate how well they’re doing. They give us a solid way to tackle problems and make sure what we're doing actually works. Plus, they make the process a lot clearer and more collaborative, which really helps everyone get on board and trust the journey. We’re all about making sure we can see the progress and tweak things as we go, based on real feedback and results.
EMERGENT STRATEGY
Planning and decision-making that emphasizes flexibility, adaptation, and learning from the present context rather than adhering strictly to a fixed long-term plan. Your organization will evolve strategies based on the actual challenges and opportunities encountered, fostering just-in-time responsiveness to changing landscapes.
human-centered design
Problem-solving that starts with understanding the needs and experiences of people and involves them in the creation and development of solutions. We center empathy, iterative testing, and prototyping to create innovative solutions that are tailored to meet real needs effectively and sustainably.
Asset-based org. development
Leveraging an organization's existing strengths, resources, and capabilities to foster growth and improvement. This positive approach focuses on building upon what an organization already does well, aiming to create a more resilient and sustainable culture that can adapt and thrive. We support leaders in shifting their staff from problem-solving to appreciating and mobilizing internal assets, fostering a more engaged and empowered team.
people-centric strategy
Prioritizing the needs, experiences, and perspectives of real people in the design and implementation of solutions, ensuring that strategies are empathetic and user-focused. We emphasize co-creation with stakeholders, iterative development, and continuous feedback to create more effective and sustainable outcomes. We aims to address real human problems and opportunities by putting people at the heart of strategy development.
