Communication is More Complex Today | ZENA CONSULTING

Our Why

  • PURPOSE - to help leaders improve inclusion results through better communication.
  • VISION - an equitable USA economy where working and middle class families thrive.

We believe "Do the right thing" isn't a plan. We know that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) isn't a goal or priority for everyone. We think ignoring disagreements compromises results.

Small Business is an Equity Issue

Small and local businesses are the foundation of a resilient economy and thriving middle class.

Every year the WA Dept. of Enterprise Services/DES buys 1+ billion dollars of goods and services, and wants to improve policies and procurement processes so more money goes to small businesses.

Lee served on DES's Business Diversity Advisory Group/BDAG from from 2019-2023. Manager Shana Barehand honored her with sage, cedar, and sweet grass from Camp Wa-Ya Outdoor School.
