Feb. 21, 2021: A Note from Tony Farmer, host, Black Lives Matter Radio Show — I am thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Towanna Burrous, president of the CoachDiversity Institute. A best-selling author, trainer, and an ICF professional certified coach (PCC) based in Washington, DC, Towanna is a sought-after executive coach on a mission to empower diverse communities.

“My role is to test, re-test, and ultimately drive the organization’s overarching vision, strategy, and tactical direction,” explains Towanna, whose CoachDiversity team delivers training and curriculum for to-be coaches and customized diversity and leadership programs for corporate and individual clients.

Towanna has spent the past three decades working in the federal government and the private sector, which has led to her serving a broad range of business executives, sales, and IT (information technology) professionals. She delivers custom keynotes and coaching and training programs designed to assist organizations in their efforts to equip their leaders and key contributors with the skills and competencies needed to excel in today’s challenging business environment. She uses her expertise to help businesses shape corporate strategies that produce positive bottom-line benefits.

“My goal is to be a trusted partner and problem solver for many clients tackling morale, employee retention, employee engagement, training, and development in the post-recession world,” explains Towanna, who has a Doctorate of Education from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Science in Education from the University of Pennsylvania, a Doctorate of Divinity from Elbon-Solutions College of Ministry, and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Howard University.
