Hire the Best Organizational Development Consultants in California

If you run a serious B2B company offering high-value services, you already know what you bring to the market. The question is — are the right prospects finding you, and are those conversations closing into revenue? That's exactly where we come in. I'm Chris Frazier with FBD Company. With 25+ years of experience and $1M+ in proven platform earnings, I'm an Expert-Vetted Sales Closer and Revenue Strategist who partners with established entrepreneurs and professional service firms to negotiate and close enterprise-level, high-ticket deals. How I Work Our model is built on performance and partnership. We require that clients come to the table with qualified appointments booked — we take those meetings, execute the sales process, and close the deals. We charge a baseline fee for deal execution and earn commission on closed outcomes. That structure keeps both parties fully aligned and committed to results. Who I Work With We work with serious entrepreneurs and established organizations who understand what it takes to build a strong company. Our partners know how to invest in the right resources, tools, and team to create real value in the marketplace. If you're committed to enterprise-level growth and ready to close high-ticket deals — we should talk. What I Deliver - Offer refinement so your services are positioned to close at the highest level - Enterprise sales execution — we take your qualified meetings and close them - Deal negotiation at the highest level of your market - Revenue strategy aligned to your growth targets - Performance-based partnership — we win when you win To Start Message me here on Upwork or send an invite to connect. I'll review your current sales environment, identify the right fit, and determine next steps. If you're generating interest but not closing it into consistent high-ticket revenue — let's talk.

Ph.D., Organizational Psychology. TEDx speaker featured on TED’s homepage. Talent, Organizational Development, and Survey specialist. I have 7+ years of experience working in talent and organizational development, though many of the skills I developed came from my 7 previous years in marketing. My goal is to leverage science and research to help you achieve your goals in a clear and applicable way. Within the past couple of years, I've worked on projects for Accenture within their career architecture, assessment, and recruiting teams. I have also worked on projects for Johnson & Johnson, McGill University, Yaamava (previously San Manuel) Casino, Denny's, Teachable, and Workboard, among others. I hold a Ph.D. and MA in Organizational Psychology from Claremont Graduate University and a BA in English and Consumer Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. I am here to offer evidence-based solutions and help you achieve your goals. Some of my skills and work experiences include: • Conducting and analyzing survey data (using an array of survey software programs and analyzing data via R or Excel) • Interviewing and leading focus groups (and using qualitative thematic analysis to derive relevant and actionable themes) • Assessing/developing leadership and employees (engagement, wellbeing, strengths, burnout, etc.) • Spearheading program evaluations (using an array of methods, including but not limited to document/website review, surveys, interviews, observations) • Creating workshops • Drafting powerpoints • Writing reports • Speaking and educational engagements (keynotes, trainings, workshops, webinars, etc.) I am visually oriented and geared to make information easy to digest, so I will make sure that your solutions target your intended audience. About me: I initially pursued a career in marketing. I worked as a strategy consultant in healthcare, then pivoted into a tech innovation startup specializing in AI-driven, gamified e-commerce products. After 7 years of marketing in NYC, even in a director role, I realized that while I still loved business and psychology, and I very much loved my current job, I just wasn’t interested in selling products. Call me naive and idealistic, but I wanted to make an imprint on people's lives and help make the world a better place by creating a less stressed/burnt-out workforce. I envision a world where people thrive at their work, finding it engaging and energizing, and I want to help companies create the optimal space to make that a reality. To that end, I shifted my career trajectory and shifted towards organizational behavior. I love the consulting projects I've done and the clients I've worked with over these past few years. I completed my MA and PhD studying Positive Organizational Psychology. My research focuses on: • employee engagement • healthy work-life balance • burnout prevention • remote work • high-quality connections • virtual teams • leadership development • viewpoint diversity and more. I am also a TEDx speaker, and my talk was selected to be featured on TED’s homepage (my talk was titled, "3 simple ways to build stronger relationships at work".

Growing organizations hire me when their people operations need to catch up with their ambition. I'm a People & Culture consultant with a Master's in Applied Psychology (USC), SHRM-CP certification, and Organizational Development Certification. My path hasn't been linear — and that's exactly what makes my work different. I've supported tech startups, nonprofits, creative studios, robotics firms, and social impact organizations, often simultaneously. That cross-industry lens means I bring solutions your competitors have never seen. What I help with: • HR audits and compliance reviews (CA, NY, NJ, WI) • Building HR systems and processes from scratch • Full-cycle recruiting and hiring infrastructure • Manager training and leadership development • Employee handbooks and policy development • Organizational development and retreat facilitation • Fractional Head of People — ongoing partnership 100% Job Success Score. I show up, communicate clearly, and deliver. Available for project-based and ongoing engagements. Let's talk about what you're building.

Running a small business means HR usually lives on the back burner until something goes wrong. I work with owners who are ready to get ahead of it. I'm Shannon Taylor, founder of Avec Coeur HR and a fractional HR consultant with 16+ years of experience, from HR Assistant through HR Director. Before going independent, I directed HR strategy for a respiratory care company with hundreds of employees across California and multiple states building compliance infrastructure, redesigning onboarding from a single day into a five-day program that new hires consistently called the best they'd ever experienced, and leading a company-wide culture initiative that reduced turnover by 70% in one year. I've also worked directly under employment law attorneys in both New York and California, which means I bring a sharper compliance lens than most HR generalists. My consulting clients are small businesses; typically 5 to 25 people who need senior-level HR without the full-time cost. Past projects include multi-state compliance documentation for a luxury transportation company, a complete recruiting system for a real estate investment firm dealing with culture fit issues, California meal waiver compliance for a multi-location service provider, and HR foundation-building for a business navigating its first difficult termination. What I deliver: Employee handbooks and policies (California-compliant, plain language) Recruiting systems: scorecards, interview guides, job descriptions Onboarding design and SOP documentation Compliance reviews and HR audits Fractional HR on retainer: ongoing support, clear deliverables, no surprises I work the same way with every client: I ask questions first, explain every recommendation, and stay involved until things actually land. HR done with you, not at you. If you're a small business owner who's been putting off the HR work you know you need, let's talk!

I help founders, leaders, and teams improve execution, identify operational bottlenecks, strengthen accountability, and create scalable systems that support growth. My background is in organizational psychology, change management, organization development, and process consultation, and I bring both a strategic and operational lens to the businesses I support. I work closely with founder-led and growing organizations that need greater alignment between strategy and day-to-day execution. This often includes improving workflows, clarifying priorities, streamlining communication, supporting decision-making, and helping leadership teams operate more effectively as the organization scales. My work is especially well-suited for organizations navigating growth, operational complexity, leadership transitions, or organizational change. In parallel, I also do a lot of work with psychometrics and assessments, especially for private-equity backed firms and companies in high-growth environments.

If you want to scale faster, work smarter, and solve complex challenges, I can help. For nearly 20 years, I’ve advised small businesses, nonprofits, Fortune 500s, and Silicon Valley startups on marketing, innovation, and organizational transformation — generating over $1 BILLION in client revenue in the last four years alone.
