Arquella challenges the prevailing mindset of transactional relationships and introduces a powerful alternative: selfless collaboration as a catalyst for collective prosperity. Arquella Hargrove, MBA, is the CEO of Alchemy Consulting Group, helping business leaders build stronger, more effective teams and companies. She is valued for helping teams think strategically and engage in meaningful conversations that allow for reflection and inquiry that lead to change. Before owning her consulting firm, Arquella achieved a senior-level 20+ year corporate career in various industries, serving in senior management roles. She has been “dubbed” a change management agent based on her facilitating visioning, strategic planning, board development, customer service improvement, and performance management sessions. These sessions helped organizations align with their values, clarify goals, and identify obstacles to change. In her role as mediator and coach, she helps people identify the interests behind their positions and identify common ground—coaching senior managers on performance management and effective communication.
