I’m Jae Washington, a Growth Coach, Partner, and Strategist, and founder of Birdie in the Hand, LLC.
With 20+ years of experience across community building, client and employee experience design, leadership development, and program strategy, I design strategies and frameworks that align values with action, clarifying engagement strategy, building or scaling community and champion programs, strengthening client and employee experiences, and supporting leaders through change, burnout, and growth.
I also help organizations, leaders, and teams design engagement strategies and experiences that are human-centered, purpose-driven, and built to last. I partner with people who need clearer systems, stronger alignment, and sustainable momentum.
Alongside consulting, I coach individuals and teams through real-time challenges, helping them move from ambivalence to clarity and from intention to consistent action.
Organizational consulting focused on cultivating cultures where people, performance, and purpose grow together. Through strategic assessment and co-created solutions, I help teams align values with action and build practical pathways to sustainable, people-centered growth.
