FEEL Better. THINK Better. LIVE Better.
I AM Dr. Phenessa A. Gray. Welcome to my ZEN!
My purpose is to encourage, equip, and empower individuals, teams, and organizations to feel better, think better, and live better by leading trailblazers to show up as their full selves in work and life walking in truth, authenticity, and power (TAP). I serve as a resource to help you TAP into your unique talents, abilities, gifts, and strengths (TAGS) so you can own your space, show up fully, and impact your world! My research interests focus on emotional intelligence, dimensions of wellness, well-being, trauma-informed librarianship, workplace culture, values and strengths-based tools, and sharing my well-being journey with those destined to be significant and make a positive impact in the world...that means YOU!
I have over 25+ years' experience working in corporate, government, higher education, and non-profit organizations. My educational background includes earning a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) in English from Florida State University; Master of Science in Library Services (MSLS) from Clark Atlanta University; Master of Science in Industrial-Organizational Psychology (MS/IOP) from University of Phoenix; and, Doctor of Philosophy in Business Management (PhD) from Capella University. Certifications earned include, but are not limited to a Biblical Counseling Certification from the American Association of Christian Counselors; Social + Emotional Intelligence Coaching Certification from Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence; Thinking for a Change (T4C) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention Certification from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office; Mental Health First Aid (Adult and Youth); and, Therapeutic Art Life Coaching Certification from Transformation Academy.
I practice a holistic approach to engaging in authentic conversations and fostering safe, equitable spaces. I don't shy away from challenging conversations and address the “pink elephants” within yourself and in the room to cultivate psychological safety, build community, and encourage a sense of authenticity, being, and belonging.
