THE TRANSLATOR’S WAY™
Where Somebodiness Meets Strategy.
Is your space a place where everybody is somebody?
At Translator’s Consulting Group, we believe in the transformative power of inclusion. We help leaders build people-centered organizations where dignity, clarity, consistency, and courage reinforce each other.
Not with slogans.
Not with hype.
But with systems, tools, and experiences that actually change how people work together.
WHO WE ARE
Translator’s Consulting Group is not just another consulting and coaching firm. We’re your partners in translating the dynamics that affect organizational culture and human interaction. With over 20 years of executive experience, we bring a wealth of knowledge and insight rooted in somebodiness, understanding and a commitment to positive change.
THE PILLARS OF SOMEBODINESS™
The Four Pillars That Anchor Our Work
Dignity
People perform better when they feel seen and valued.
“Our people finally feel like they matter.”
“Translator’s Consulting Group provides you with real and authentic scenarios, the tools to work through them, motivation and hope to do better.”
Clarity
Confusion costs money and morale.
“When you change the way you look at things. The things you look at change.”
“One session with Translator’s cleared up five years of fog.”
Consistency
Trust is built on patterns, not promises.
“We turned intentions into habits.”
“Translator’s engaging delivery style and real-world examples resonates and lends itself to driving improvement.”
Courage
Breakthroughs require leaning toward the real work.
“We finally had the conversations we’d been avoiding.”
“Be ready to learn what makes you uncomfortable with a team who makes you feel comfortable.”

STORIES OF PEOPLE, LEADERS & CULTURES RISING
Work That Matters
“Our leaders finally understood each other.”
“We stopped talking about inclusion and started building it.”
“The workshop made psychological safety real for us.”
“We went from drift to discipline.”
These are not case studies. They’re moments of somebodiness — where clarity, courage, and dignity change how people work together.
