Why We Exist

Because today’s leaders face complex challenges—and they need more than advice. They need trusted partners. A sounding board. A strategy that sticks. That’s why we’re here.

We believe that sustainable success starts with empowered leadership, clear strategy, and aligned execution. Whether you're a founder scaling fast, a nonprofit shifting systems, or a CHRO building culture from the inside out, we’re here to help you lead with clarity and confidence.

The Empower Way

We lead with values, not ego. Our human-centered, data-informed approach is designed to create real, lasting change—by meeting people where they are, aligning with your mission, and walking alongside you every step of the way.

Our Story

In 2024, after two decades of working at the intersection of leadership, transformation, and strategy, Carina Martin launched Empower Consultant Group with a vision: to help leaders lead better—by being more human, not less.

Since then, Empower Consultant Group has grown into a trusted partner for organizations seeking growth that’s not just profitable, but purposeful.

Our Approach

Every engagement is built on three principles:

  • Empowerment over prescription – We don’t dictate. We co-create, coach, and equip.

  • Strategy meets humanity – We ground our work in both data and empathy.

  • Sustainable change, not quick fixes – We’re in it for long-term impact.

We partner deeply with our clients, integrating seamlessly into your team, your goals, and your culture.

Who We Work With

We serve leaders and organizations across industries, including:

  • Mission-driven nonprofits and foundations
  • High-growth startups and founder-led companies
  • Corporations seeking cultural and operational transformation
  • Executive teams building capacity and cohesion
Our Commitment

We are committed to equity, integrity, curiosity, and courage. These values shape how we show up, how we serve, and how we measure success. We believe real impact is both measurable and meaningful.
