About The Greater Us

Every organization faces moments when the way forward isn’t clear. Meetings feel tense, conflicts get glossed over, and people feel unable to bring their full selves to the table. At The Greater Us, we help leaders and teams create cultures where people feel safe to be themselves, where collaboration flows more easily, and where trust, accountability, and respect grow naturally out of stronger relationships.

"Dr. Akhtar created a space where people with a wide range of comfort and experience could talk together about the sensitive issues of power, inclusion, and diversity. I was so impressed with the non-judgemental, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable way she moderated the discussions!"
