Tiesha D. Douglas
One of Tiesha’s clients once said, “She is a gifted and passionate teacher who understands how best to communicate her deep expertise in a way that impacts her audience.” That’s the bottom line of Tiesha’s work: authenticity leads to impact.
With a key focus on authentic communication and owning your narrative, Tiesha helps individuals show up more fully in their roles — so they can communicate with influence, lead with integrity, and build stronger, more human-centered workplaces. Her work resonates with her clients because it’s rooted in this truth: when you're aligned with who you are and understand how others experience you, your leadership improves.
As the founder and principal consultant of LEAD Culture Consulting, Tiesha supports professionals in becoming more effective, confident communicators through self-discovery and cultural intelligence. She is trained and certified in emotional intelligence and conflict resolution, Tiesha partners with organizations to deliver transformative keynotes, team workshops, and one-on-one coaching engagements that are grounded in self-awareness, cultural competence, and the belief that authentic communication is a powerful catalyst for trust, collaboration, and performance.
Tiesha also brings extensive years of experience across higher education and nonprofit sectors, specializing in leadership development, intercultural communication, and conflict management. She has taught at several top business schools and currently serves as faculty at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, where she teaches leadership, communication, and business presentation courses.
Whether she’s in a boardroom, a classroom, or on a big stage, Tiesha creates space for honest reflection, bold storytelling, and meaningful growth. Her approach is trusted by executives, rising leaders, and teams who are ready to communicate with power and lead with lasting impact.
