In an industry often dominated by one-size-fits-all professional development programs, one consulting firm is taking a different approach. LeeJane’s Consulting LLC works with educators, school leaders, and organizations to build not just better systems, but better workplace cultures—a distinction that founder Dr. Lashawnte McCray-Sarvis believes makes all the difference.
With nearly three decades of experience in education, Dr. McCray-Sarvis founded her firm on a simple premise: sustainable organizational change requires more than a single training session. Her professional development and leadership consulting services focus on long-term transformation, helping clients strengthen leadership capacity while creating environments where both people and systems can function effectively.
The firm’s approach reflects Dr. McCray-Sarvis’s background in shaping school cultures that prioritize safety, well-being, and quality learning experiences. Rather than treating professional development as a check-box exercise, LeeJane’s Consulting LLC integrates leadership development with culture-building strategies designed to produce lasting results.
Beyond the Classroom
Dr. McCray-Sarvis extends her influence beyond direct consulting work. She hosts “The Road to an Effective Classroom Environment,” a podcast where she engages educators and leaders in conversations about leadership and educational practice. She’s also a published author, having written works including “My Name is Lu-Shawn-tu: From the Womb to the Woman” and “Embarking on a Journey: Through the Eyes of a Poet.”
Her contributions haven’t gone unnoticed. She was selected as a recipient of the Black Leaders Worldwide 2026 Women to Watch Award, which recognizes emerging women leaders making meaningful contributions in their industries and communities.
A Holistic Model for Growth
What distinguishes the firm from competitors is its combination of personalized coaching with real-world leadership experience. The business doesn’t just serve schools and educational organizations—it also works with community organizations, nonprofits, and professionals seeking workplace skills development.
LeeJane’s Consulting LLC offers multiple entry points for clients at different stages of development, from organizational consulting and coaching to workshops, masterclasses, and digital learning tools. This flexibility allows the firm to address both immediate challenges and long-term organizational goals.
Looking ahead, the firm plans to expand its reach over the next few years by strengthening leadership development programs and scaling digital learning resources. The focus for the coming year centers on building strategic partnerships and increasing visibility, with a two-to-three-year goal of establishing a broader regional and national presence through speaking engagements and online offerings.
The long-term vision positions LeeJane’s Consulting LLC as a trusted resource for organizations looking to lead with purpose and create positive, sustainable impact. By continuing to offer equity-focused leadership training and workplace development programs, Dr. McCray-Sarvis aims to help more communities build the capacity they need to thrive.
