LaTrice Lyle, Ed.M
LaTrice Lyle is the Founder and CEO of LaTrice Lyle Consulting, where she partners with entrepreneurs, leaders, and mission-driven organizations to build work that is aligned, sustainable, and rooted in purpose. Based in Atlanta, she helps clients clarify strategy, design community-centered programs, and build systems that support both impact and long-term growth. Her work focuses on guiding leaders through seasons of transition, helping them align their businesses and leadership with their values, capacity, and vision for meaningful change.
LaTrice began her career in education through Teach For America, teaching and supporting students and families in Miami before continuing her work in educational leadership across Chicago and Atlanta. Nearly a decade in classrooms and school leadership roles shaped her philosophy that people thrive when supported by strong systems, thoughtful strategy, and communities that honor their humanity. She later expanded her impact by launching her consulting practice in 2019 while continuing to work in education and leadership development, including program management roles supporting national coaching and professional development initiatives.
A graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Johns Hopkins University School of Education, LaTrice also created the Called to Build™ ecosystem, a faith-centered community designed to help entrepreneurs align their lives, leadership, and businesses with their calling. Through consulting, coaching, and community-building, she empowers leaders to pursue success without sacrificing their values, faith, or well-being. At the heart of her work is a belief that when people are supported with clarity, confidence, and community, they create change that lasts.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the influential educators and female role models in my life, including my mother, who modeled what it means to lead with purpose and impact. My faith-driven calling to reach and serve more people also pushed me to step beyond the classroom and into consulting, where I could expand my impact while continuing to prioritize the things that ground me—faith, family time, strength training, reading, and baking.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would encourage young women entering coaching or consulting to trust that they already have what they need to begin. Any skills or areas where you feel unprepared will develop through experience, learning, and growth along the way.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is navigating difficult work cultures in education and marketplace messaging that often doesn’t align with the realities women face while building businesses alongside family and personal responsibilities. At the same time, there is a powerful opportunity to multiply impact through consulting and to help women design sustainable, faith-aligned business models that honor both their calling and their capacity.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me are faith, authenticity, and creating. Faith, life, business is the order in which I build everything in my life. Instead of saying life as a value, I would say authenticity. And the third one, instead of saying business, I would say creating would be a value, like never stop doing that. I realize how magical it is to just make something. It could be with your hands, or not necessarily a new business idea, but just creating things. If you have an idea, trust that you got that idea for a reason, and if you feel pushed to bring it into the world, give it a shot.
