Shakirah Forde, LCSW
I spent more than 14 years in clinical leadership, directing programs, supervising teams, and managing compliance. That work taught me how people respond to pressure, feedback, and change, and what managers need in order to lead well.
Today I bring that behavioral lens to organizations of every kind. I help leaders build hiring, training, and management practices that people actually follow, and I guide teams through change with clear plans and honest communication.
