Advising

You need a partner who understands what your organization actually needs.

Joshua Berry has spent two decades guiding organizations through transformation that doesn't fit neatly into a workshop or keynote. Innovation labs. Workforce redesigns. Strategic pivots. Cultural shifts.

This work requires deep listening, strategic thinking, and the ability to hold space for complexity while helping teams find the next right step.

Organizational design and capacity management

If you're not sure what you need but you know something has to shift, that's often the best place to start.

Why teams choose Joshua's workshops

He listens first, then designs

Joshua doesn't bring a one-size-fits-all solution. He listens deeply, then designs an approach tailored to what the organization actually needs.

He identifies root causes, not just symptoms

Organizations often ask for one thing when they need something else. Joshua surfaces what's really going on and addresses the underlying issue.

He brings both strategy and presence

Joshua speaks the language of business strategy and organizational development. He also brings a calm, grounded presence that creates space for clarity.

He's comfortable with complexity

Transformation is messy. Joshua holds space for the complexity while helping teams take the next responsible step.
