Hi, I’m Shira (she/her). I specialize in helping organizations build cultures of accountability, belonging, and trust.

In my 20+ years of work in the area of communication and conflict, I’ve seen countless situations boil down to one thing: a sense that people can’t talk freely about the real issues. And yet I have seen firsthand how even the most heated conflicts—whether around workplace harassment, sexual misconduct, racial harm, Palestine/Israel, or other highly charged topic—can be radically transformed once people are given the space and support to speak their truth from a place of empowerment, safety, and connection.

My collaborations with businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, universities, and schools have taught me what research consistently shows: culture change isn’t a quick fix—it’s a journey.

My approach builds systems of communication and conflict skills that don’t just respond to conflict, they prevent it in the first place. Using evidence-based tools drawn from the science of implementation and behavior change, I have supported dozens of teams and organizations to shift their culture—from toxic and chaotic, to healthy and predictable—and to sustain these changes for years to come.
