Dr. Annice E. Fisher

Founder, The BEE FREE Woman and Developing Capacity Consulting, LLC

Los Angeles

Whether Annice is working with senior leaders to "get unstuck" during the change process, coordinating leadership development sessions with local non-profits, or partnering with professionals in an executive leadership coaching session, she loves facilitating the growth and success of individuals, teams, and organizations. Before launching Developing Capacity Consulting, Dr. Fisher worked across the United States launching key initiatives and expansion efforts at universities, non-profits, governmental organizations, and K-12 education systems. Annice’s over 15 years of experience in change management, leadership development, and designing departmental cultures for equity and inclusion gives her a unique expertise on how to develop the capacity for long term sustainable change. With her recent partnerships, from Harvard to the Harlem Children’s Zone, she tailored professional learning environments to meet their diverse needs. In partnership with those Annice is working with, they learn how to exercise nuanced leadership to break barriers, maximize their performance, and build a legacy. In December 2018, Dr. Fisher launched The BEE FREE Woman, a company focused on coaching women of color on how to exercise nuanced leadership to remove the barriers that stand in the way of their success. Her vision is to create a culture where women of color unapologetically own their identity, brilliance, and expertise and empower other women to do the same.

Annice holds a B.A. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, M. Ed from Iowa State University, and Ed.L.D. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She is also certified in the groundbreaking Immunity-to-Change coaching technique that helps people overturn the mindsets, behaviors, and emotions that keep them stuck in the cycle of setting and resetting the same goals.
