“I AM NOT INTERESTED IN JUST ANY RELATIONSHIP, I AM INTERESTED IN AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS, IF NOT, THE WORK WOULD BE DISINGENUOUS.” - Sean Goode
HIS REALNESS IS WHAT I APPRECIATE, HIS WORDS RESONATE AND OUR RELATIONSHIP IS AUTHENTIC BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL SIDE OF US.”
Karen Wilkins-Mickey - VP, DEI Seattle Seahawks
As a leader of a K-12 district, our purpose is to help students read, write, compute, and relate to each other as humans, making the world a better place for all. I am grateful for the golden nuggets of wisdom Sean provides, offering encouragement and support to help me find my way back to creating possibilities for our students.

“Priya is a dynamic, thoughtful, values-driven leader. I got to work with her extensively while she was Co-Chair of the Seattle Arts Commission, where we were able to increase investments in the cultural community while simultaneously advancing racial justice. She is a talented and inclusive facilitator, able to move complex and diverse teams towards strategic change”
Randy Engstrom - Co-founder, Third Way Creative
WE BENEFITTED IMMENSELY FROM SEAN’S ABILITY TO SKILLFULLY FIND COMMON GROUND AND DEVELOP TRUST AMONG PEOPLE WHO OTHERWISE LARGELY SAW THEMSELVES AS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO ONE ANOTHER. SEAN IS AMONG THE BEST PUBLIC SPEAKERS AND FACILITATORS I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH OR SEEN IN ACTION.”
Dr. Rebecca Neusteter - Executive Director, University of Chicago
"He was absolutely phenomenal. In his speech he shared the invitation to be present, right here, and right now... His speech really set the tone for the rest of the conference. His words made such a lasting impression..."
Tonya Harris - Director of Communications
“SEAN BRINGS A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE TO THE TABLE, BUT WHAT SETS HIM APART IS HIS WILLINGNESS AND HUNGER TO BRING OTHERS ALONG FOR THE RIDE. AS A COACH, AS A FACILITATOR, OR AS SOMEONE WHO CAN PROVIDE CLARITY AND INSPIRATION IN THE MOMENT.
Matthew Perkins - Program Director, LISC
