Building belonging through daily practice.

Executive Director, Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights

Tirien brings a remarkable depth of knowledge and facilitated an inspiring retreat that fully met our goals. She creates an environment where people feel comfortable and supported, while still guiding the group to cut through distractions and focus on what truly matters to move the work forward.

Chief, Tulare County Office of the Public Defender

After working with Tirien, I was able to be more thoughtful and strategic about communicating with my staff. After each session, I felt energized and enthusiastic about work. She gave me tools that I could use every day. She understood attorneys and the Public Defender culture. She helped me overcome challenges in the beliefs I had about leadership that were holding me back. She was supportive but also held me accountable.

She has taught me various methods to think through problems, projects, and ideas, which helps organize my thoughts and make sure I am thorough.

Professor of Practice, UC Law SF

Tirien worked with our tight-knit faculty to support how we teach and engage with students. To better understand our values and goals, she took the time to meet with all of us individually, then designed a training curriculum focused on giving us specific tools to support students' work.

Tirien can hold space for in-depth conversations without shying away from the difficult topics. Her acronyms were especially fun and made the tools easy to remember!

Managing Attorney, Homeless Action Center

I believe that I am a better manager as a direct result of working with Bridgeforth Consulting. I have been managing for almost a decade and have experienced many trainings that did not tangibly change how I manage.

With Tirien, however, I was able to thoughtfully examine WHY I do the things I do, and I was given frameworks that allowed me to have meaningful conversations with my team to ensure we are best achieving our goals.
