Empowering people through change


Valerie S. McCloud, Founder

At Foxfire we don't just manage the process of change - we tend to the people going through it.

Make Change Better. Make Better Change.

Change is one of the most constant forces in organizational life — and one of the most human. It disrupts systems, processes, reshapes roles and ways of working, and challenges people's sense of stability and identity.  Yet most organizations focus almost entirely on implementing the change itself, offering little of the right kind of support for employees to navigate the very human experience of adapting to it. 


Foxfire Consulting takes a different approach.


We help organizations implement change strategically while supporting the people experiencing it — because when people feel informed, capable, and supported, change doesn't just happen. It's successful...and it sticks.

3 Ways We Work with You

(the structured side of change) 

We partner with leaders and organizations to plan, guide, and sustain complex change initiatives — from initial assessment through implementation and reinforcement. Our work combines proven change management practices with leadership alignment, stakeholder engagement, and real-time advisory support throughout the journey.

Best for: Organizations navigating transformation who need a strategic partner from assessment through execution.

(the human side of change) 

Our proprietary IIEE framework — Identify, Inform, Engage, Empower — focuses on how employees actually experience change. We help organizations move beyond announcements and compliance to create genuine support for the people in transition, equipping them with the clarity, capability, confidence, choice, and connection they need to adapt successfully.

Best for: Organizations that want to reduce resistance, increase engagement, and give employees real tools to navigate change.  The IIEE Employee Change Experience Model™ is a proprietary framework developed by Foxfire Consulting, LLC.

(the deeper work of change) 

THRIVE! is a guided personal journey that blends insight, practical tools, and reflective practice to help people reconnect with themselves, deepen awareness and self-trust, and live more intentionally, authentically, and courageously. Delivered as an 8-module digital experience, THRIVE! helps individuals build the inner capacity to navigate life and work with greater clarity and ease.

Best for: Individuals, employees, and organizations seeking deeper resilience and personal development.

We Create Conditions Where Transformation Is Possible

 At Foxfire, we believe meaningful change requires both disciplined execution and genuine care for the people experiencing it. Strategy, structure, and planning matter — but so do trust, clarity, and the human experience of moving through uncertainty.


That’s why every Foxfire engagement attends to both the strategic path forward and the people walking that path. Because when organizations focus only on implementation and overlook the human side of change, the best strategies can stall, resistance grows, and the change struggles to take root.


Whether you're an organization navigating a mission-critical transformation, a team feeling the strain of constant change, or an individual ready to live and lead with greater clarity, resilience, and intention — Foxfire meets you where you are and helps you move forward with confidence.

"When Valerie came to us to manage our projects with our vendor, she took what had become a truly mired and suffering situation and managed to turn it back into a well-functioning machine. Within weeks I had gone from dreading our check-ins and the fires that would ensue, to actually looking forward to them as a chance to get updated on my projects and offer insight and direction on them I knew would make it back to the developers and be put into motion. Always very professional and courteous, Valerie managed to handle even the most stressful of affairs with coolness and grace, and always ended up getting us through to a resolution. In addition, I especially appreciated Valerie's dedication to our companies' relationship, and that it always be growing and improving to ensure the best experience for both parties concerned."
