With over 40 years of combined experience across healthcare, nonprofit, and academic sectors, Lisa and Mel founded Third Space Consulting in October 2024. Their passion lies in helping organizations cultivate workplaces where human beings, not humans doing, are prioritized. To get to true inclusion and well-being, we guide teams beyond binary thinking—moving away from rigid, either-or choices—toward a “third space,” where diverse perspectives can coexist, and new possibilities open up through genuine connection and shared goals.

Our approach invites open dialogue and values multiple viewpoints, creating a space for co-creation and collective problem-solving. Through engaging workshops and consultations, we empower organizations to build cultures that prioritizes practices that foster psychological safety and well-being. By embracing complexity and encouraging broader perspectives, we help clients transform both individual awareness and institutional practices, ensuring lasting change that benefits everyone.
