⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am the people doctor for mission-driven organizations. I'm Dr. Rajanique Modeste, known as The Culture Strategist. I hold a PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, a Board Certified Coach credential, and over a decade of experience helping nonprofits and mission-aligned organizations build cultures their people actually want to be part of. Culture work fails when leaders apply the same tactics to everyone instead of treating people as the individuals they are. I diagnose what is actually happening inside your organization, then build a strategy around your people, your mission, and your specific context using my proprietary FrameShift Methodology. I help individuals and teams become more productive through coaching, team building, and change strategy that moves your organization from reactive to intentional. What I bring to every engagement: ✓ Organizational Development and Culture Strategy ✓ Change Management and Transition Support ✓ Leadership Development and Executive Coaching ✓ Culture and Climate Assessment ✓ Strategic Planning and Organizational Design ✓ Workshop Facilitation and Training Design ✓ DEI Strategy and Integration ✓ Team Effectiveness and Conflict Resolution ✓ Succession Planning and Performance Management ✓ Survey Design, Administration, and Analysis ✓ Qualitative Research and Stakeholder Engagement ✓ Board and Executive Alignment A few highlights: ✓ Published researcher on organizational trauma and workplace culture ✓ Author of After the Layoff ✓ Adjunct Professor, Industrial/Organizational Psychology ✓ Board Certified Coach (BCC) | PhD, I/O Psychology ✓ 100% 5-star rated on Upwork Ready to stop guessing and start fixing the right things?

I help clients stay consistent with structured programs that actually work long-term. Will help you with realistic goals that are designed specifically for you and your lifestyle. I’ve spent the last 8+ years building and running a functional strength gym from the ground up—coaching hundreds of clients ranging from beginners to experienced athletes. I specialize in creating simple, effective programs that are easy to follow but challenging enough to deliver real results. Most people don’t fail because of lack of effort—they fail because they don’t have structure, accountability, or a plan that fits their life. That’s where I come in. What I can help you with: ✔ Custom workout programs (home or gym-based) ✔ Fat loss & strength-focused training plans ✔ Accountability coaching & daily check-ins ✔ Group training program design ✔ Client retention strategies (for gym owners/trainers) ✔ Lead follow-up & appointment setting (fitness or service-based businesses) ✔️ The live with you on your session via FaceTime, zoom etc. ✔️ Evaluate before photos and progress to help make necessary changes I don’t believe in overcomplicating things—I focus on what works, what’s sustainable, and what actually gets results. If you’re looking for someone who understands both coaching AND client behavior, I can help you build something that sticks. Product photo experience
