01 Our Belief
The Belief Underneath the Work
Winning Within & Associates was founded in Kansas City in 2011 by Dr. A'Yanna Webster after encountering the same truth in boardrooms, classrooms, and community rooms: every organization is a group of people first.
Sustainable change begins within people, is strengthened through relationships and leadership, and is sustained through organizational systems and culture. This belief shapes how we work. We take time to understand what is happening, consider the people and context involved, and design solutions around what each client is working to strengthen or change.
Dr. Webster leads the work as Founder and CEO. As a strategist, advisor, and facilitator, she works across organizational effectiveness, leadership and workforce development, and meaningful conversations. The work she designs runs from executive teams and boards to first-year college students and communities. Meet Our Founder
02 The Four Pillars
One Firm. Four Ways to Strengthen Human Potential.
A Firm Built on One Belief
Strengthening the People Behind the Mission
Every organization is a group of people first.
Winning Within partners with the leaders responsible for those people, and stays long enough for the change to hold.
03 Our Work in Practice
Four Ways We Help People and Organizations Move Forward
Explore advisory, leadership development, workforce learning, and strategic facilitation solutions designed around the people, priorities, and outcomes each client is working to advance.
The 3C Advisory Experience
Advisory work that helps leaders navigate change, strengthen communication, and shape organizational cultures where people and organizations can thrive.
CliftonStrengths Coaching & Consulting
Strengths-based development for leaders, teams, and college students that strengthens how they lead, communicate, collaborate, and apply what they naturally do best.
Workforce Learning & Development
Customized professional development for staff, supervisors, managers, and teams. Learning may include single customized sessions, multi-session pathways, and applied group coaching designed around the skills people need to grow, contribute, and thrive at work. Signature offerings include The Mission Possible Experience.
Strategic Facilitation & Stakeholder Engagement
Purposeful facilitation, listening sessions, focus groups, stakeholder engagement, and organizational convenings that help organizations gather perspectives, build understanding, strengthen alignment, and move shared work forward.
04 Who We Serve
What Leaders Say About the Work
Winning Within helped us connect our organizational mission and values with the everyday experiences and behaviors of our staff. Through thoughtful facilitation, employee input, and consultation with me as Executive Director, they created opportunities for honest dialogue about our culture and how we wanted to work together.
The process strengthened understanding of our mission, encouraged greater trust and connection across the team, and brought forward staff recommendations that informed our organizational values.
A'Yanna and Winning Within helped me recognize and better understand my natural talents, particularly in strategic thinking. The insights and practical application of those strengths helped set me on a path that ultimately led to launching my own consulting business specializing in strategic planning. Forever grateful!
Winning Within helped our staff move beyond identifying individual strengths to applying them in how we communicate, collaborate, and work together. The customized team development experience gave us a shared language and practical tools to strengthen our school culture and bring greater understanding of students' individual needs into our classrooms.
Enter Through What You Carry
Leaders arrive carrying different things. A director carrying a team that has stopped talking. A nonprofit carrying a workforce it cannot afford to lose. Start where you actually are.
