"If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready!"

Hi, I’m Katena Cain, PhD and am passionate about helping individuals, teams, and organizations grow, transform, and thrive. I specialize in leadership development, strategic planning, social change efforts and organizational capacity-building. My work focuses on empowering clients to turn challenges into opportunities while fostering equity and inclusion. I bring a collaborative, community-focused approach to every project, drawing on years of experience. As a certified Bridges Out of Poverty trainer and co-creator of a statewide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion toolkit, I’m committed to addressing systemic barriers and creating environments where people and organizations can reach their full potential. On a personal note, I’m a proud mom to my beautiful daughter, Brie, and wife to my amazing husband, Michael. I love spending time with my family, cooking delicious meals, and nurturing my garden. These personal joys inspire the warmth and creativity I bring to my work.
