Spark Belonging. Ignite Performance.

Human-centered strategy, practical tools, real outcomes.

Where insight strikes.

At Black Lightning Education Consulting, change happens when systems are re-designed with people at the center. We offer two signature services – The Learning Design for educators and organizations, and The Wealth Design for families and individuals seeking financial security.
