Tayshamell Galloway is a seasoned executive coach and equity-centered leader who believes leadership is as much about building trust and connection as it is about strategy and outcomes. With more than a decade of experience guiding teams and executives, she has become a trusted thought partner for leaders navigating the complexities of inclusion, organizational change, and interpersonal dynamics. Her coaching creates space for leaders to pause, reflect, and sharpen their values while gaining practical tools to encourage belonging and accountability in their teams.

As a Certified Professional Diversity Coach, Taysha has led leaders through transformative coaching relationships that address both systemic inequities and the everyday challenges of managing diverse teams. She has facilitated critical conversations on bias, exclusion, and racial tensions; guided departments through culture-building processes; and facilitated listening sessions that lift up the voices of employees navigating systemic barriers. In these moments, she brings equal parts candor and compassion, helping leaders align intentions discovered in coaching sessions with actions in ways that create meaningful, lasting change.

Her journey into this work was shaped during her years in Non-Profit work, where she managed million-dollar budgets, supervised large and diverse teams, and implemented culture-building initiatives across departments. This is where she witnessed firsthand how equity-focused leadership could transform not only operations but also the lived experiences of staff and community members. That foundation of operational excellence paired with equity centered leadership continues to anchor her approach today.

Known for her collaborative style, Taysha doesn’t just coach, she partners. Whether she’s helping a leader navigate a difficult conversation, preparing for a high-stakes presentation, or rethinking how policies can better reflect equity goals, her focus remains the same: building organizations where people feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
