Ebony McQueen Harris, Principal Consultant and Founder of LEVELS

Ebony is passionate and intentional about collaborating, connecting and developing leaders. She approaches this with a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion strategies and programs that help to increase organizational capability through applied individual and workforce professional growth initiatives.

Ebony approaches consulting with particular regard for the human part of it-she cares as much about the people who determine an organization’s direction and goals as those whose knowledge, skill, and ability are needed to have those goals met.  She is dedicated to facilitating change in people, organizations and communities.

Ebony leads workshops and trainings, designs processes, develops strategies, and coordinates community outreach efforts with ease and enthusiasm.  She has had the opportunity to work across several industries including social services, non-profit and retail.  She has over 20 years of “hands on” experience with a proven ability to form strong relationships gaining trust of colleagues and clients at all levels. Ebony brings a broad base of organizational development, instructional design and facilitation, training and employee development, coaching, and change management. She has a knack for helping people make connections to each other and their projects. 

Ebony received her BA in Speech Communications from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and her MA with a focus on Instructional Leadership + Curriculum Development from Robert Morris University.  When not working or dreaming of Broadway notoriety, her passions include her family, traveling, the theatre, wineries and cooking.
