Dr. Indigo Speaks

Dr. Indigo’s dynamic personality and irrefutable expertise is the reputation that precedes her. As the CEO of Careers In Transition, Inc., she leads the successful Human Resources consulting firm that provides wise strategies for performance and productivity. From the Federal Government to Fortune 500 Corporations, Careers In Transition, Inc. helps organizations attract, develop, and retain employees for improved results. As a renowned Speaker, Dr. Indigo is hilariously honest and refreshingly blunt giving a professional twist that captures her audience’s imagination and inspires their spirit. She’s effective because she speaks from real-world experience as a businesswoman who built a successful career and business brick-by-brick with trials and lessons learned that she unselfishly shares with audiences with transparency and candor. Audiences leave with a renewed sense of hope and empowerment to live their passion and manage their career based on feeling as if she spoke to them personally.

Dr. Indigo launched Careers In Transition as an independent consultant in 1995, which quickly parlayed into a successful venture resulting in the company becoming incorporated in 1997. Consulting companies come and go, but under Dr. Indigo’s leadership, the company has thrived and experienced consistent growth, becoming an indispensable resource for federal agencies and organizations by positively impacting their bottom lines. In 2012, her company was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Top 500 Fastest Growing Companies in America; placing the company in the top 50th percentile at a ranking of 239 on the list. Dr. Indigo is admired for her down-to-earth methods and techniques, but perhaps more known as an authentic leader and speaker who tackles organizational development and workforce topics with transparency and passion. Some of the organizations that Dr. Indigo has worked with range from the Environmental Protection Agency to Halliburton–which demonstrates her profound knowledge and versatility in speaking to the specific needs of her client base. Stateside to abroad–from Tucker, Georgia to Wiesbaden, Germany–she delivers a message and philosophy that is insightful; thus, resonating with people at every tier of their career or within an organization.
