because where you work should nurture who you are.
Our Mission
We are on a mission to recreate the workplace so it is safe and empowering for women, minorities, and their communities to thrive financially, emotionally, and psychologically.
Our Approach
Our hand-picked team of communication and leadership experts is grounded in non-violent communication and somatics, and every one of them is coach trained. This ensures every program is responsive to client needs and tailored for long-term, measurable impact. Our practitioners bring experiential and holistic design to life.
We specialize in high-engagement strategies that address neurodiversity, and differing learning styles. We combine deep expertise with a commitment to delivering personal, interactive experiences that nurture the whole human—where work becomes a space for growth and connection.
Core Values
Sankofa (Honoring the Past to Inform the Future)
Sankofa is a Twi word from the Akan Tribe of Ghana. The lost translation of this concept is “go back and get it” and it is symbolized with a bird cringing its neck towards its back to retrieve an egg. We believe that to build a better future, we must understand and honor the experiences of the past. At High Tides Consulting, we embody this in meeting clients where they are, investigating how they got there, and using historical data to create programming that best supports your future goals.
Abundance for All (Collaboration Over Competition)
We reject the zero sum fallacy and scarcity thinking. We embrace the idea that there is enough success, knowledge, and opportunity for everyone. Our work is grounded in the belief that collaboration strengthens communities and teams. By fostering openness and vulnerability, we encourage leaders to support one another, learning from others’ experiences and giving generously of their own insights. Together, we rise.
Clear Committed Community (Vision-Driven and Aligned)
Alignment of vision and values is the key to thriving teams and leaders. Our work begins by helping clients understand their goals and why they want to achieve them. Creating a shared vision drives every decision and action as we collaborate with your team to grow personally and professionally.
Wholly Nourished (Caring for the Whole Person)
We recognize that humans are dynamic beings, and to thrive, they need more than intellectual stimulation—they need rest, nourishment, community, and care. Our approach to coaching, facilitation, and program design considers the full spectrum of human needs. We create spaces where people are supported emotionally, physically, and intellectually, providing environments that promote both personal well-being and professional success.

ABOUT US
Founded by Marie Deveaux, High Tides Consulting was created to redefine how leaders communicate, grow, and build inclusive work cultures. With over 15 years of leadership development and professional coaching experience, Marie recognized the need for a more nuanced approach to leadership that integrates personal growth with organizational impact.
At High Tides, we operate through a consortium model, bringing together a diverse team of certified coaches and facilitators. Each member is trained across multiple modalities—including somatics, non-violent communication, neuro linguistic programming (NLP), appreciative inquiry, CliftonStrengths, DISC, and more. This ensures that we provide the most comprehensive tools and the appropriate mix of expertise for each client’s unique needs.
Our specialties are leadership training, professional development, and executive coaching. Our work is designed to amplify the voices of women and minorities in both corporate and entrepreneurial spaces. Our ontological approach focuses on the power of conversation to drive transformation, helping leaders embody their organization’s values and foster an authentic, inclusive work culture.
By combining emotional intelligence, positive psychology, and personalized coaching, we co-create results that support leaders in thriving within today’s dynamic and diverse work environments.
Wow, you were such a PHENOMENAL facilitator. I really got a lot out of that workshop. I was learning and cackling the whole time! You are the definition of faBOOSH. Hope to cross paths again in the future.
This session has now become a vital part of our guide in planning over the next few months, 1 year to 3 to 5 year markers as well.
