ABG Professional Development Solutions

What ABG Professional Development Solutions does

ABG Professional Development Solutions (legal entity: ABG Counseling and Career Consulting LLC) is a Monroe, Louisiana-based professional services firm founded in 2013 by Dr. Alberta Brown Green. The company delivers professional training, career coaching, and mental health counseling to individuals, educators, corporate teams, and community organizations, with a stated global ambition under the tagline "Developing People and Organizations Globally." The practice operates primarily across Louisiana and the broader U.S. Southeast.

Core offerings include a portfolio of proprietary workshops and licensed assessment frameworks (True Colors, Win With Strengths, Mental Health First Aid), one-on-one career coaching, and counseling services. There is no proprietary technology platform; the business is human-delivered via workshops, conferences, speaking engagements, individual sessions, and, more recently, broadcast media (the Mental Health Happy Hour radio show). In 2023 the firm launched an annual Business Leadership and Well-Being Conference, and in 2024 expanded into published IP via the "Crush Your Goals" book and accompanying merchandise line.

Revenue is generated per workshop, per speaking engagement, per coaching package, per conference registration, and via book/merchandise sales — a project- and session-based model with no disclosed subscription or multi-year enterprise contracts. Go-to-market is founder-led and network-driven, relying on Dr. Green's personal brand, community partnerships, and repeat institutional clients. The firm operates as a bootstrapped sole proprietorship with 1-10 employees.
