Voyage Consulting & Business Solutions

What Voyage Consulting & Business Solutions does

Voyage Consulting & Business Solutions, LLC is a privately held, MWBE-certified professional services firm founded in 2021 in New York (Staten Island) that delivers leadership development, career coaching, and business strategy services to professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, organizations, and youth. Its core product surface is a portfolio of proprietary frameworks — including Level Up! Strategic Leadership, the 360-Degree Employee/Employer Model, Empowering Educators, Connect Framework, and Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace — delivered via one-on-one coaching sessions, bundled packages, group mentoring, and in-person workshops. Pricing is unit-based: career consultation sessions at $85 single / $225 for three, and business strategy sessions at $125 single / $325 for three, with bundle discounts of $30-$50. The firm also operates a recurring subscription layer, Voyage Insider, which grants members-only access to the Voyager Portal, quarterly roundtables, group mentoring, and priority coaching scheduling.

The company is founder-led by Dr. Darlene Blanco (President & CEO), supported by Margarita Estrada (COO) and Mario Lewis (CFO), plus a seven-person education services and creative team spanning event planning, instructional design (K-12 and higher ed), youth coordination, international marketing, and graphic design. Dr. Blanco's dual role as Director of Workforce Development & Innovation at The College of Staten Island (CUNY) anchors an institutional partnership network that includes NYC DOE, St. John's University, EOC, Dress for Success, Grace Institute, Girl Scouts, Wall Street Club, and the Woodbridge and Rahway Chambers of Commerce.

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: a Google Forms intake funnel leads to no-cost consultations, followed by direct booking of single sessions or bundles, supplemented by public speaking engagements, panel discussions, podcast appearances, and membership-based retention. There is no proprietary technology platform; the Voyager Portal functions as a members-only content and engagement hub. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding, no app, and no public revenue figures, and operates as a small business with 1-10 employees.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Marlee (formerly Fingerprint for Success): AI-augmented coaching and development platform for individuals and teams. Comparable in coaching market but uses AI and behavioral data to differentiate; would be a competitor for individual coaching budgets currently served by Voyage.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): Long-established leadership development research and training institution offering open-enrollment programs, custom leadership development, and executive education. Comparable in mission (leader development) but operates at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Blanchard: Leadership training and coaching company built around the SLII and other leadership frameworks—closely comparable to Voyage's framework-driven approach but operating globally with licensed content and a large facilitator network.
• FranklinCovey: Global leadership and performance consulting firm built around The 7 Habits and other proprietary frameworks—directly analogous to Voyage's Level Up! Strategic Leadership model. Operates at much larger scale with licensed content and enterprise delivery.
• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Leadership and talent management research and consulting firm offering leadership development programs, executive coaching, and assessments. Comparable in targeting leaders and teams but serves global enterprise clients.
• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a large Leadership Development and Executive Coaching practice serving enterprise clients. Comparable in leadership development service offering but at vastly broader portfolio and scale.

Direct peers

• Tony Robbins Business Coaching: High-profile business and performance coaching brand targeting entrepreneurs and professionals—closely overlapping with Voyage's entrepreneur and professional segments, but operating at consumer-brand scale with heavy marketing investment.
• Torch (formerly Insight Coaching): Tech-enabled coaching and leadership development platform targeting mid-market and enterprise clients with curated executive coaches. Overlaps with Voyage on coaching delivery but adds proprietary matching technology and SaaS-style delivery.
• CoachHub: Global digital coaching platform offering leadership, performance, and development coaching through a tech-enabled marketplace. Overlaps directly with Voyage's executive coaching and leadership development offerings at enterprise scale.
• BetterUp: Largest digital coaching and leadership development platform, offering 1:1 coaching, manager development, and mental wellness programs. Direct competitor in the leadership coaching space, but at vastly greater scale and with technology-enabled delivery.
