Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Ryan C. Warner.
Ryan, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Before founding RC Warner Consulting, I began to realize that most people spend a large percentage of their life at work. However, I found through my personal and professional experiences that many organizations struggle with fostering a culture of inclusion within their workplace. In turn, this impacts performance, retention, and overall employee well-being. As a Black male consulting psychologist, my passion related to diversity, leadership, and wellness fueled me to fill this gap and serve as an advocate and change agent to enhance workplace climate.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
This journey has by no means been a “walk in the park”. The most significant challenge has involved keeping up with growing business opportunities. We take our mission of “helping teams create a culture of inclusion” seriously. However recently it has been difficult to keep up with the significant demand from clients. To fill this gap, we have begun an internship program so that young professionals and students have an opportunity to learn how to be successful within this field of work. We have also worked to add new members to our team. However, it continues to be a challenge to find diverse professionals who align well with the work we do. This is a work in progress, but we are excited about what the future has in store!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about RC Warner Consulting?

Our most population services include conducting trainings on microaggressions, mental health in the Black community, anti-racism, and empathetic leadership. We also take pride in working with individuals to improve their psychological resilience, cultural awareness, and leadership abilities so that they can make changes within their communities and organizations.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
I have been fortunate to have many positive social supports in my life and I would not be where I am today without their encouragement. However, one person who specifically stands out to me is my mother. She has been by my side since day one and has always helped me overcome various challenges throughout my life. Growing up in a single-parent household, she managed to take care of my brother and I, despite working multiple jobs. She sacrificed a lot in her life to provide resources for me so that I could pursue my dreams and reach my fullest potential. I learned from my mom that there are no limitations in life if you put in effort and perseverance.
