Belonging isn’t just a value. It’s survival.
I’m Regina McMenomy, Ph.D., and I help organizations close the gap between what they promise and what their people actually experience.
As a belonging and leadership consulting expert, I design customized strategies that build cultures rooted in psychological safety, real trust, and lasting resilience.
I founded Divergent Paths Consulting because I believe the best workplaces aren’t built by accident—and they’re not sustained by buzzwords.
They’re created with intention. With systems that work for all kinds of people.
With leadership that understands stability doesn’t mean sameness—and innovation doesn’t require exhaustion.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve seen what happens when organizations reward conformity and penalize difference. I’ve lived inside systems that weren’t designed for divergent thinkers, leaders under pressure, or humans navigating uncertainty.
I know what it’s like to care about a mission and still feel like you’re barely surviving the systems around you.
That’s why Divergent Paths exists: To help leaders and organizations build spaces where people belong before they burn out.
~ Where communication is a bridge, not a barrier. ~
~ Where systems support resilience, not just compliance. ~
~ Where retention rates soar, and innovation flourishes. ~
