Albany, New York – Melody Harkness, director and CEO of Harkness Consulting Solutions, knows what it means to feel “trapped in a company.”
“Personally I have experienced tokens, micro-aggressions, racism and sexism,” she says. “For me it has been a personal mission to try to find solutions for those who have gone through similar experiences like me.”
In 2020, she took a leap of faith and opened her own consulting firm in order to bring more inclusive practices, policies and procedures into the workplace. Through training, business marketing plans, workshops, and organizational assessments, Harkness and her team have a mission to help companies acquire the right skills and resources to catalyze change and improvement.
Lillian Rafson, founder and CEO of Pack Up + Go and Melody’s first client, credits Harkness Consulting Solutions with elevating them both personally and professionally. “As a company, for our travelers, we place a strong emphasis on being open-minded and encouraging people to learn about places, people, and communities they might not interact with every day, and I wanted my team to have the same opportunity,” Lillian told Melody during their first ever in-person meeting two years later. from working together. Melody nodded his approval, and added, “Progress is exactly, the people who decide they want to do more as an individual within this company.”
