Company Overview
Inclusive branding and leadership development consulting to create inclusive, aligned, human-focused environments rooted in core values. On a mission to inspire more communication, compassion, and understanding. We want to create space for connection and collective growth that results in safety and belonging for all people.

.....

Crystal Lily Creative believes in empowering leaders by helping them create the tools they need to form relationships that support their growth and their purpose, without sacrificing integrity.

As diversity and inclusion branding consultants, we believe in the freedom to use our platform to help create positive growth and change within communities, because safety and equality should be a right, not a privilege.

We believe that disrupting the status quo is necessary so that self-care no longer has to include evaluating the safety of the spaces people seek to occupy.

Testimonial 1
“For business owners who are serious about wanting every aspect of their business to reflect the values of inclusivity, equity-mindedness, authenticity and trauma-sensitivity I can't imagine working with a better thought or implementation partner than Crystal Lily Creative. Highly recommend!” –Wendy Ryan, CEO at Kadabra and Author of Learn, Lead, Lift: How to Think, Act and Inspire Your Way to Greatness
Testimonial 2
“Learning about inclusive branding from Crystal has been one of the most eye-opening and empowering experiences I’ve had as an entrepreneur *and* as a person.

Her core values-based approach helped me crystalize my belief that, as a business owner, you shouldn’t have to choose between making money and doing good. Now, I help other business owners use social media to do both.

Crystal is deeply insightful, always compassionate, and never judgemental. So when it comes to the challenging work of disrupting your own bias, you could not find a better person to guide you. I cannot recommend her enough!” –Nina Stoller-Lindsey, Social Media and Content Strategist for Mission-Driven Brands
Testimonial 3
“I received Individual Coaching from Crystal through her Empowered Branding Program and I can't begin to tell you, not only how amazing she is, but how much she guided and supported me in my growth as a person and leader in my social enterprise. To become an inclusive leader is something many of us strive towards, but don't really know what that means. Crystal's program not only provides the foundation and framework to learn what that means, but she provides the knowledge, wisdom, guidance and compassion necessary for the growth to take place on a personal level. To begin to understand how to express inclusivity by being rooted in strong core values is such a gift, and has allowed me to become much more confident in the space I'm working to build to welcome and include others. Thank you Crystal, for all that you've empowered in the world and I can't wait to see all of the magic that results!” –Misty Castaneda, Social Entrepreneur and Kids Toy Brand Creator
