We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Ryan C. Warner and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Warner, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Before founding RC Warner Consulting, I began to realize that most people spend a large percentage of their life at work. However, I found through my personal and professional experiences that many organizations struggle with fostering a culture of inclusion within their workplace. In turn, this impacts performance, retention, and overall employee well-being. As a Black male psychologist, my passion related to diversity, leadership, and wellness fueled me to fill this gap and serve as an advocate and change agent to enhance workplace climate. Therefore, at RC Warner Consulting we specialize in taking a multi-dimensional approach to enhance commitment and effectiveness for small and large organizations across the globe.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At RC Warner Consulting our mission is to assist teams with creating a culture of inclusion to maximize their potential. We strive to accelerate meaningful organizational change by producing measurable outcomes to promote sustainable growth. Using an innovative approach, our vision is to serve as a premiere, globally recognized consulting firm who assists small and large organizations with enhancing their workplace culture through leadership, diversity, and wellness. Unlike other companies, we specialize in taking a multi-dimensional approach to enhance organizational commitment and effectiveness. We understand that you cannot boost diversity within the workplace without also focusing on wellness and leadership enhancement; and vice-versa. Today, many organizations struggle with poor leadership, cultural discrimination, and low employee wellness. Today, we have been able expand our reach to millions of people by offering a need that fills these specific gaps within the workplace. We also take pride in working with individuals to improve their psychological resilience, cultural awareness, and leadership abilities so that they can make change within their communities and organizations.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When friends come and visit I always take them to local eateries that give them as taste of the culture, builds fun memories and lights up our tastebuds. The first stop on the morning after arrival we go to the nearest mom and pop dinner for breakfast, because who doesn’t love a good pancake right from moms recipe book? Throughout the following days we hit the local gym/outdoor basketball court to break a sweat. We make sure we eat tacos to celebrate Taco Tuesday, go to my favorite Italian spot for Wine Wednesday, and can’t forget about Fish Fry Friday! My friends and I value a good time that brings excitement, comfort and lifelong memories.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have been fortunate to have many positive social supports in my life and I would not be where I am today without their encouragement. However, one person who specifically stands out to me is my mother. She has been by my side since day one and has always helped me overcome various challenges throughout my life. Growing up in a single parent household, she managed taking care of my brother and I, despite working multiple jobs. She sacrificed a lot in her life to provide resources for me so that I could pursue my dreams and reach my fullest potential. I learned from my mom that there are no limitations in life if you put in effort and perseverance.
