Systems Don’t Change Themselves. People Do.

We partner with leaders and organizations driving transformation—often while navigating resistance, burnout, and systems struggling to sustain meaningful change.

Let’s Talk About What You’re Holding Right Now

Organizations often reach out to DCC when they recognize that leadership decisions are shaping more than outcomes — they’re shaping culture, trust, and daily experience across the system.

They come to us when:

  • Leaders are being asked to make courageous, human-centered decisions in complex, high-stakes environments

  • Traditional trainings no longer meet the realities leaders are facing

  • Tools need to be sector-grounded and usable in real time

  • Culture, alignment, or well-being has become essential to performance — not separate from it

At these moments, organizations aren’t looking for another training.

They’re looking to cultivate steady leaders who can influence systems through everyday choices.

You’re Not Alone in This Work

We support the people inside systems—those leading transformation under pressure, often without the tools to sustain it.

Leadership inside systems often means holding complexity that others don’t see — responsibility and decisions that carry real human impact.

From Insights to Applied System Change

Leaders are not short on awareness.

They see what isn’t working.
They understand the pressure.
They can name the complexity.

But awareness alone rarely produces systemic outcomes.

Sustainable systems change requires structured space to translate insight into practice — to test new approaches in real time, learn alongside peers, and build the capacity to lead differently under pressure.

That is the bridge between intention and lasting impact.

We Help You Lead Through the Hard Parts of Change

We strengthen the core capacities that allow leaders and organizations to move from insight into sustained systems change.

Conscious Leadership & Organizational Development

Lead with trust, humanity, and adaptive purpose—even in high-pressure systems. Identify purposeful structural changes needed to thrive through complexity and change.

Data-Informed Change & Accountability

Ground change in evidence. Identify what’s not working, prove what’s working, track what matters, build feedback loops and create transformation that lasts.

Restoration & Resilience Practices

Heal leadership wounds, reduce burnout, and rebuild team alignment. Help leaders and participants build resilience, and sustain themselves over time.

  • Annice’s value can be seen in her ability to transform a group of leaders toward achieving positive and impactful change.

    Achieving change in a complex environment is, at times, a daunting undertaking, but Annice navigates the process by guiding decision-making, educating leaders in critical developmental areas, demonstrating and implementing the change, and providing assessment tools to measure success.

    –Gay Perez, Assistant Vice President, University of Virginia

  • Dr. Fisher and DCC have been amazing partners in our program’s efforts to enhance equitable access to the resources and benefits provided by our statewide network of sites.

    Based on data findings suggesting disparities in access to the interventions and opportunities funded by our program, our Board committed to learning more about equity and taking concrete actions to improve it. Dr. Fisher helped us find a meaningful starting point and build a framework for having difficult conversations with our partners. Dr. Fisher’s unique style has created enlightened spaces for our network to pursue this hugely important work on the individual, department, and system levels.”

    – Mary Ann D., Program Director, State Agency

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Fisher for more than 10 years.

    Her work and the work of DCC is cutting-edge and needed for organizations at this time in our history. Many consultants only engage either structures or individuals, DCC knows how important it is to work with both people and structures with compassion and accountability.

    –Jamie Washington, Washington Consulting Group

  • Working with Dr. Fisher was one of the most important investments I could have made in myself as a leader.

    Annice not only gave me the language, the understanding and the basic knowledge of what diversity, equity and inclusion are and what they look like, but she challenged me and our team at Robyn to live up to what we say we want to be. She broke it down tactically so we can see our own blind spots, address them and figure out policies to help make the learnings last. I wish I could work with Dr. Fisher forever, but she also created a program that encourages us to not need a consultant after working with her, because we have the roadmap to do it ourselves and to walk the talk that we are all talking right now. I cannot recommend Dr. Fisher and her work enough.

    – Carolyn Rush Crouse - Brand Strategy, Robyn, Inc.

  • As a white parent and educator, I have been learning about and examining my own implicit biases as a place to start doing the work.

    Time for reflection was helpful. Hearing from colleagues and being reminded that some are ready for this work and others are not but that does not excuse me from holding myself and others accountable and disrupting inequity.
