About Us
Who We Are
At Do Better Consulting, we believe that creating meaningful change in workplaces requires more than just ideas—it demands action, passion, and expertise. Guided by the vision of our founder, Desiree Goldey, and supported by a growing team of dedicated professionals, our mission is to help organizations build inclusive cultures, strong leaders, and equitable processes that transform the way work gets done.
The Driving Force Behind Our Mission
Desiree Goldey, our founder, brings years of hands-on experience in talent acquisition, sales, marketing, and culture development to the heart of everything we do. As an award-winning leader and fierce advocate for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), Desiree has made it her life’s work to challenge outdated norms, empower people, and create spaces where everyone can thrive.
As a queer, Black woman, Desiree’s lived experiences inform her approach to leadership and consulting, giving her a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing today’s workplaces. Living in Austin, TX, she combines resilience, humor, and intelligence to foster meaningful change both inside and outside the workplace.
A Movement for Better Leadership and Culture
Founded with Desiree’s personal mantra, #dobetterpeople, Do Better Consulting isn’t just a firm—it’s a call to action. We tackle the pervasive issues of homophobia, sexism, racism, and inadequate leadership with practical strategies and tailored solutions that empower organizations to move forward.
Our work extends beyond traditional consulting, offering:
Executive Leadership Training to build stronger, more inclusive leaders.
Customized DEIB Strategies to weave equity and belonging into the fabric of your organization.
Culture Audits and Talent Processes to ensure your workplace attracts and retains diverse talent.
With every engagement, our team is here to support you, ensuring that the change you envision becomes the reality you achieve.
What’s Next for Do Better Consulting
Desiree continues to expand her impact. In 2025, she plans to release a book that delves into her transformative experiences in the talent and corporate worlds. She’ll also co-host Talentless, a new podcast launching in the summer of 2025. In it, she and her co-host, Ashley King, CEO of DEI Labs, will explore the intersections of talent, leadership, and DEIB through thought-provoking discussions and a touch of humor.
At Do Better Consulting, we believe that inclusive workplaces are better workplaces—and we’re here to help you get there.
