About Kaleid

Kaleid is a workplace psychology consulting firm.

We help teams adapt and flourish by addressing the psychological roots of workplace challenges.

In the modern workforce, we know that workplace dynamics can affect our psychology, but are much less aware of how our psychology affects the workplace. In fact, psychological factors are primary causes of costly organizational issues, so understanding them is essential to making meaningful change.

That said, psychology is a complex and sensitive topic, so it is understandable why most workplaces approach it with caution, if at all. This is where Kaleid comes in. Our expertise in workplace psychology, team dynamics, and employee well-being enables workplaces to engage with psychology in appropriate and impactful ways.

Through our evidence-based psychoeducational consulting services, workplaces develop psychological literacy, safety, and agility at all organizational levels. The result is more satisfied, harmonious, and effective teams that drive long-term success.

About the Founder

Becca Schwenk is the Founder of Kaleid. She is on a mission to make work more sustainable and fulfilling for leaders and employees alike by bridging the gap between what is and what could be. Because it’s often what was that gets in the way.

Becca carries over a decade of experience in purpose-driven work. She has provided trauma support; led operations for an Australia-wide women’s rideshare; and served as Chief Operating Officer for an equity and inclusion consulting firm, bringing them from seed to scale to serve over 600 client organizations. With a career spanning business, non-profit, and consulting, social impact has always been her through-line.

Becca holds a Master of Psychology: Health and Wellness. She is a subject matter expert on complex trauma and workplace dynamics, having completed her capstone,“The ‘I’ in Team: Exploring the Relationship between Complex Trauma-Responsive Behaviours and Workplace Intrateam Conflict.” This 76-page peer-reviewed article was selected to set the program standard for future research. Becca felt called to investigate this topic based on patterns observed in client organizations. Despite viable efforts and good intentions, most workplaces struggled to uphold functional team dynamics. It struck her that these organizations were working around a central issue: the psychological factors that shaped them.

Becca created Kaleid to directly address psychological factors as critical causes of workplace dysfunction. Through her trauma-informed, evidence-based approach, she fosters greater awareness, cohesion, and flourishing in the workplace and beyond.

Becca is a passionate leader with a vast combination of skills, experience, and knowledge. What makes her have such high impact in her work is her unique ability to bring her passion, leadership, and skill set while holding a clear vision for what is possible in the world through targeted and strategic efforts toward change. It’s important to note that Becca’s vision for a better world, and the change required to achieve it, is rooted in an appreciation for the complexities and realities of businesses/employers who are committed but challenged to find their way towards change.

Becca is gifted in building and leading spaces for collective learning and emotional processing. Her relationship-centered approach to her work is complemented by her warmth and compassion. As someone who has learned immensely from Becca over the years, I feel both at ease and engaged in her spaces, trusting her keen awareness of multiple complex considerations such as power dynamics, different learning styles and needs, time constraints, and her expert content knowledge.

Becca takes a warm, open, collaborative approach and creates a space where everyone feels as though they have a voice and something important to add to the discussion. What sets Becca apart is her familiarity with her offerings. It is clear that she knows her material inside out, and the way she delves into topics and brings her own lived experiences to each session adds that much more depth to the learning. How folks can so naturally connect with her makes the material that much easier to also connect with and leaves folks feeling open and eager to share and go deeper with her and themselves.
