Your team is talented, driven, and exhausted.
Esther B. Consulting knows how to restore them.
Traditional wellness programs aren't enough, especially not for your Black and historically excluded leaders. To truly thrive, your people need strategies built around their real lives and unique experiences.
At Esther B. Consulting, we know that performance without compassion leads to burnout, turnover, and cultures of disconnection. That’s why our approach is both clinically informed and culturally attuned.
Led by Esther Boykin, LMFT, our work blends her decades of expertise as a therapist, CEO, and founder to help organizations move beyond surface-level initiatives and create cultures where care is embedded in strategy, leadership, and everyday operations.
>> Companies in the top quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity on executive teams are 39% more likely to outperform their peers on profitability.
>> Burnout costs U.S. companies approximately $4,000 per employee and up to $21,000 per executive, resulting in roughly $5 million in annual losses for a 1,000-person company.

Every great organization is powered by its leaders—but when those leaders are exhausted, misaligned, or running on empty, the entire system suffers. Our retreats and Leadership Days are designed to be an organizational reset; an immersive, distraction-free experience where your leadership team can step away from constant demands and focus entirely on connection, strategy, and renewal.
These are not “team-building” exercises, they are culture-shifting experiences.
-
Our most comprehensive, high-touch engagement, the Fractional CWO and Esther B. Blueprint are designed for leaders who know incremental fixes won’t solve the challenges they face. This isn’t about adding wellness initiatives on top of a broken system. It’s about redesigning the system itself to prioritize well-being, equity, and sustainability as the foundation for performance and growth.
