Meet Lyncy Yang | Inclusive Leadership Coach and DEI Consultant

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lyncy Yang and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Lyncy, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
In all of the facets of work I’ve engaged in, culture plays an integral part in how individuals, teams, organizations, and systems operate. I started MosaiCQ Consulting because I think a strong cultivation and understanding of intercultural intelligence and awareness building is one of the starting points to equity, inclusion and anti-oppression work. I wanted to support organizations to not only turn to individual change, but also organizational culture change. I value the connection between the head and the heart, and advancing systemic and organizational change through the restoration and repair of relationships with ourselves and each other. I named my business MosaiCQ Consulting because we, as individuals and as a collective, are intricate and interactive pieces akin to tesserae in a mosaic. The iCQ is to honor intercultural intelligence (intercultural development) and when pieced together, we create a beautiful interconnected mosaic that enriches the community and workplace.
What should our readers know about your business?
At MosaiCQ Consulting, I take immense pride in my work with leaders, namely nonprofit leaders. I guide them in creating impactful change and instituting inclusion in their leadership approach and organizational work. Collaboration with public and nonprofit organizations has been a cornerstone of MosaicCQ’s mission to increase inclusion and equity across diverse sectors.
MosaiCQ Consulting understands the unique challenges that organizations- whether nonprofit or for-profit- face in navigating equity and inclusion issues from hiring and retaining talent to conflict management and team development across cultural differences. That’s why I’m committed to providing tailored solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable. By working closely with leaders, MosaiCQ empowers them to become champions of change within their organizations, fostering cultures of belonging and equity.
Our partnerships with leaders have resulted in tangible outcomes, from creating strategy and implementing DEI initiatives to fostering more inclusive decision-making processes and increasing power sharing and community engagement. Seeing the impact of our work firsthand is incredibly rewarding and serves as a reminder of the power of collective action in creating positive change.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love diversifying the guest experience! If you’re not fasting, we’d go to Woody’s Wings and Things in Westminster, Now Pho Denver, Tofu Story, Seoul Hot Pot, and Empress Seafood for dim sum. Mr. Peralta Marisco’s is another favorite of mine.
We’d hit the hot springs – either Indian Hot Springs or Glenwood. Hot tub with snow falling around is a vibe, so I would want that for my guest if they were visiting at the right time of year.
Shuffle board at a local bar is in the works, as well as pickle ball at a local court. For music, Meadowlark for jazz or an outdoor concert at RedRocks is a must. I love the DAM and it’s the perfect place to go with a little bit of everything for art.
Last, but not least, a really good mangonada at La Michoacana is a must.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My mother, Kia Xiong, who was a generously brave and independent woman. She not only tenaciously loved her 6 kids, but also a village of people in and out of the Congress projects in St. Paul, MN. A beloved leader and elder who grew up tremendously fast, and yet, loved soulfully and lived with perseverance and care.
My mentor, Lu Guss, instructed me in so many ways, taught me the love of travel, and offered perspective as I straddled multiple cultures growing up.
My village of siblings, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins who taught me how to consider the wisdom of generations preceding me and of those who will follow.
Authors, poets, musicians, and playwrights who solidified my perspective and stance on equity, inclusion, and justice. From Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, the Erdrich sisters, Grace Lee Boggs, Yuri Kochiyama, Hmong leaders, Billie Holiday, and so many more talented souls who have poured into my cup.
My husband Chang Kong for being the beacon of light he promised to be.
