Ursula Adams, MSPOD, is on a mission to create the places and spaces that help individuals reveal their best selves so that they may share their unique gifts with the world. A scientist and sage with an empath’s heart and intuition, Ursula’s unconventional approach marries the sciences of positive psychology and intentional change with empathy, intuition, a heavy dose of humor and - more often than not - a bit of glitter and glue.
Through The Red-Yellow Collective, her management consulting firm, Ursula helps Detroit-area organizations develop their top talent and engage their workforce through team building, individual and group coaching and in the design of change initiatives.
As the Founder of the SheHive, a women’s collaborative in Ferndale, Michigan, Ursula helps women seeking social connection and self-empowerment discover “life on the other side of should” through classes, coaching and social clubs.
Prior to founding The Red-Yellow Collective and the SheHive, Ursula contributed sixteen years of her life to strengthening regional philanthropy in Detroit - pioneering the uses of digital media, integrated marketing, strengths-based organizational development and employee engagement at United Way for Southeastern Michigan. Her award-winning programs resulted in both an EFFIE and a Gallup Great Workplace Award and now serve as models for the United Way system.
Ursula was instrumental in the social media tidal wave which helped Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan overcome considerable obstacles along his first-term path to election in 2014. She served as the voice of Mayor Duggan online and coordinated his social media campaign. In addition to her volunteer work with the Duggan campaign, Ursula serves/has served on the Boards for the DMC Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, East English Village Association and Friends of the Alger Theater in Detroit.
Ursula holds a Masters of Science in Positive Organizational Development and Change, as well as certificates in Executive Coaching and Emotionally Intelligent Leadership from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management.
Ursula resides on the east side of Detroit with her husband, Bryan, daughter, Aleah, and a gaggle of pets. She loves Detroit, telling a good story, girl time, road trips, pigeon pose, cherry cordial ice cream and an abundance mindset.
