Chanel Fort

I've been in my field for over 23 years, and my career has been deeply rooted in education and workforce development, focusing on organizational change that truly has a social impact. My work revolves around improving social systems, and my research focuses in that area as well. Upon completion of my PhD, which helped me really fine-tune my lens in this space, I was able to rebrand my LLC to focus more on social impact research and evaluation, and change management initiatives. My main areas of expertise are learning, leadership, and organizational change - that's learning development, leadership development, organizational change development and management. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Health Sciences, a Master's of Science in Human Services, and a PhD in education with a focus on global leadership and change. My career has evolved from the early part where I was very deep in health sciences and human services, and I've been a dean of academics, a dean of health sciences, taught as a faculty member in health sciences in higher education, worked with city government, state government, and nonprofit organizations. Everywhere that I go, in spaces that I work in, there's going to be some element of learning and development taking place, because that's the heart of who I am.
