What SEE Change Consulting does

SEE Change Consulting is a privately held organizational development and coaching firm founded by Kate Sheppard and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, delivering services nationally across the United States. Its portfolio spans three core service lines — Individual Development (1:1 and group coaching), Organizational Development (assessments, strategic planning facilitation, systemic-change mapping, and change management), and Team & Group Development (team building, facilitated dialogue, dispute mediation, and trust repair) — alongside a catalog of productized workshops and trainings including the proprietary Brain Circuit Types framework, Emotional Intelligence, Prioritization Management, and Leadership Development Programming ranging from one-hour sessions to twelve-month engagements. The firm also runs three-day Center for Courage & Renewal retreats led by a certified facilitator.

The business is a professional services model with quote-based, customized engagement pricing; no public pricing is disclosed. Go-to-market combines direct inbound via website inquiry ("Talk To Us"), public workshops, and channel partnerships — most notably a strategic alliance with CATDC for independent-school-focused resilience programming and a relationship with the San Francisco Department of Public Health where the founder serves as a Trauma Informed Systems Trainer. The firm targets independent schools, non-profits, and mission-driven organizations, with named anchor engagement at the YMCA of San Francisco. Thought leadership is generated through a blog, podcast, and email newsletter, and the firm is supported by a small team around the founder.

There is no software platform, no disclosed headcount, no funding history, and no parent company. The underlying "technology" is qualitative methodology and a proprietary cognitive-style assessment framework rather than a technical product. Revenue mechanics are entirely time-and-materials professional services dependent on the founder's personal brand, certifications (Center for Courage & Renewal facilitator, Trauma Informed Systems Trainer), and twenty-plus years of experience facilitating adult learning across more than 100 organizational assessments.

Broad incumbents

• Development Dimensions International (DDI): Global leadership and talent management consultancy delivering assessments, coaching, and leadership programs. Comparable in leadership assessment and development services, competing for enterprise learning and development budgets.
• BTS Group: Strategy execution and leadership development consultancy. Comparable in the intersection of leadership development and organizational change, with stronger global delivery but a similar practitioner-led feel.
• The Ken Blanchard Companies: Large-scale leadership development and management training firm with proprietary IP (e.g., SLII). Comparable as a competitor for the same leadership-training and coaching budgets but operates at vastly greater scale and brand recognition.
• FranklinCovey: Global leadership and organizational performance firm offering workshops, coaching, and content IP. Comparable in the leadership development and culture-change categories, with stronger distribution but less niche depth in equity and trauma-informed practice.
• Heidrick & Struggles (Leadership Consulting practice): Global executive search and leadership advisory firm with a growing organizational consulting practice. Comparable in leadership assessment, coaching, and culture work, but operates at enterprise scale.

Direct peers

• Center for Courage & Renewal: The organization whose facilitator network Kate Sheppard belongs to; offers retreats and reflective leadership programs. Directly comparable because SEE Change delivers Courage & Renewal retreats as a core offering and serves the same audience of mission-driven professionals.
• Interaction Associates: Founded-by-practitioner consulting firm focused on leadership development, facilitation, and organizational change. Closely comparable in service mix, methodology-led approach, and target buyer (leaders and teams across mission-driven organizations).
• Root Inc. Organizational change and strategy execution consultancy with proprietary frameworks and assessment-driven methodology. Comparable in the use of assessments, change management, and people-centered transformation work.

Emerging players

• Polaris Solutions: Boutique DEI and organizational change consultancy serving schools and non-profits. Highly comparable given SEE Change's primary vertical (independent schools) and equity-focused positioning.

Regional players

• NewSchools Venture Fund (advisory/consulting arm): Education-sector focused organization supporting school leaders with leadership development and equity work. Comparable target buyer (school leaders) and thematic focus on equity, though structured as a non-profit rather than for-profit consultancy.
