Through intimate leadership cohorts, executive coaching, and strategy consulting, we provide an expansive space for leaders to voice and embrace their big ideas, define next steps, and take action. Using the tools of generative inquiry, systems thinking and asset-based approach, we challenge your limits and clear pathways for fresh perspectives and action – the foundation for achieving values-driven, transformational results.
Whether you’re new to this level of responsibility or going deeper into leadership, one thing is certain.
This season requires more.
Let us help you get unstuck.
You know what it is to break barriers, to blaze new trails, and to achieve extraordinary outcomes in your work and in your industry, so it’s surprising that you’ve been hitting a wall.
So, what do you do when the strategies that got you to where you are aren’t effective anymore?
Whether you're a leader driving personal change or guiding an organization, you can cultivate transformational leadership and fulfillment, while achieving industry-shifting impact. You simply need different tools.
You need more than technical skills in this new season.
You need the vision, clarity, and personal evolution we help to provide so that you become the version of yourself who can lead at the next level and in times of change.
Our transformational coaching and consulting provides support, clarity, structure and thought partnership for your ideas to take shape.
What do you do when the things that worked before aren’t working any more?

What Your Peers Say
“BCT Partners has engaged Dr. Williams as Lead for several high-profile organizational development and organizational restructuring projects. Each time, our clients quickly developed a deep level of trust, respect, and confidence in Fatimah’s work and recommendations. She is always a tremendous asset to our team.”

“Fatimah has deep expertise and has been a wonderful partner to our office for over 5 years. She designed a leadership communication and personal branding training tailored to our groups of STEM faculty and clinical practitioners. Having had the pleasure of observing her in both in-person and virtual sessions, I would recommend engaging her for either – both are effective.”
— Beth Tracy, Senior Director of Faculty Development, Rutgers University

“I have more confidence to initiate necessary conversations and speak up in rooms where decisions are bing made about policies and programs that matter to me, my organization and the region I serve. Coaching has allowed me to grow my thinking to align more with my new leadership role.

“I gained a business acumen that we don't get in academia. We're really good at philosophical debates but not really trained in the business strategy and tactics driving institutional decisions.”
