As an immigrant, Celia Young has lived between the East and West for her whole adult life which has afforded her a unique life experience and worldview.  For over 30 years, Ms. Young has used her life’s experience to provide consulting services to FORTUNE 500 companies where she has helped her clients develop vision and strategies to manage “change” in their businesses worldwide. She specializes in building the cross-cultural bridge between East and West.  She helps develop truly global organizations that will thrive continuously in the global economy. Ms. Young has achieved this mission by coaching and developing globally competent and multiculturally versatile leaders individually and in teams so that they can mold a new organization that is open to and capable of fully utilizing the “diversity” and “innovation” of its people.  Such an organization is well positioned to respond to the needs of its customers internally and externally, in the U.S. and the world. Her client industries include Telecommunication, Banking/Finance, Healthcare, Utilities, Oil Products, Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Print Media, Real Estate, and Government Agencies.

The basis of Ms. Young’s work is to help leaders and work teams follow their north stars, preserve their integrity, and become who they truly are. These leaders and employees have become courageous enough to speak their truth, stand on their highest principles, and help change their organizational culture to value and nurture Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion among their people. 

In this turbulent time where the world is dealing with not just pandemics but climate change, wars, poverty, erosion of human rights, attack on democracy, and deterioration of institutions, people are struggling from basic survival to emotional isolation and spiritual starvation. Ms. Young’s ministry and spiritual activism for the workplace and society can help heal the traumatized and suffering, mend the broken human spirit, and restore the basic goodness of humanity.  In turn, this regenerated human spirit can help people thrive and be productive again. When things seem to fall apart, Ms. Young can help both business and civic leaders lead the change and restoration work for the world.
