Clara Magallanes
CONSULTANT - SPEAKER - AUTHOR
Hello!
I’m a consultant, speaker, and author working with individuals, organizations, and communities during moments of transition, growth, and meaningful change.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of human behavior, wellness, leadership, education, and culture—and in how people make sense of their experiences. I blend psychology, education, creativity, and lived insight to create conversations that are thoughtful, engaging, and transformative.
I’ve spent years working across educational, healthcare, community, and human-development settings, which allows me to bring a perspective that is both grounded and expansive. Whether I’m speaking, consulting, or writing, my aim is to invite clarity, cultivate understanding, and support forward-moving, practical change.
This space offers an overview of my work and the ways we can collaborate—through speaking engagements, consulting projects, workshops, and other professional partnerships.
If this work resonates, I invite you to reach out and begin the conversation.
