CEO & Founder, Andrea Carter Consulting | Creator of the Belonging First Methodology™
Andrea Carter is transforming the future of work by redefining what it takes to lead well in a disconnected world. As the architect behind the neuroscience-backed Belonging First Methodology™, she helps organizations close performance gaps by making belonging not just a value but a measurable strategy.
Her research proves what most DEI programs miss: belonging isn’t a soft skill; it is a strategic lever for innovation, retention, and organizational health. With five actionable indicators—comfort, connection, contribution, psychological safety, and wellbeing—Andrea equips leaders with tools to foster cultures where people don’t just stay, they thrive.
Named a Top Strategic Advisor to Watch in 2025 and a member of the Forbes Business Council, Andrea was also recognized by MSN as one of the Top 10 Women Disruptors to Watch in 2025 for challenging outdated leadership practices and redefining workplace culture through measurable belonging strategies [MSN Disruptor Article, 2025].
Andrea’s work bridges academia and application, reshaping outdated data practices, exposing gaps in engagement for underrepresented voices, and turning inclusive intent into scalable action.
Because in today’s workplace, belonging isn’t a nice to have; it is the competitive edge.
