When you invest in building psychological safety to create Real Belonging, teams and communities can focus on what truly matters: achieving shared goals, sustainably.
A Foundation Built on Experience & Understanding
With more than two decades of hands-on experience in community services, and a solid background in Social Psychology, Organizational Leadership, and Adult Learning, Brandyn Gallagher—your Leadership Engineer—understands how unresolved misunderstandings and unhealed beliefs shape the ways we connect, and how we can more effectively work together.
This work is deeply informed by lived experience across race, gender, class, faith, and (dis)ability. Since 2014, Brandyn has delivered tailored leadership and inclusion training, drawing a foundation for this work from the wisdom of Native mentors since 2007.
Belonging isn’t a checkbox—it’s a blueprint for building the reality you want. Modern U.S. culture has largely failed to equip people with the emotional, communication, historical, or interpersonal skills necessary for success before entering the workforce or major relationships. That gap can be costly—leading to conflict, disengagement, and lost potential.
Bridging the Gaps That Hold Us Back
At Real Belonging, we help teams, organizations, communities, and individuals build the skills to communicate, collaborate, and create lasting cultures of trust.
Typically, that means working with Brandyn directly. Collective liberation and sustainable community care are never done in a vacuum, though. Sometimes Brandyn collaborates with a network of like-hearted colleagues, organizes and amplifies the work of other leaders, and works in community-led ways that no one person will ever take credit for. So, even when working as a consultant in an individual capacity, I know I am always standing on the shoulders of a tremendous movement of divinely powerful, devoted souls who have shaped and supported me into becoming a pluralistic embodiment of their best qualities—at your service.
We are stronger together—and you deserve solid support to unlock the greatness you aspire toward. Let’s engineer the relationship bridges that will carry you where you want to go.
