Started by Deanna Blanchfield tired of checkbox HR
DBH Consulting, LLC in Federal Way was created after I grew frustrated that HR consulting often stopped at policies and slide decks instead of real leadership impact. I built something different. I offer executive-level judgment without big-firm bureaucracy, flexible fractional engagements, and practical support that stays close to day-to-day operations.
Master's Degree in Organizational Development (M.S. OD).

Today, I stand at your inflection points
I work with small and mid-size organizations, public entities, and nonprofits that need leadership development, change management support, and clearer ways of working, and I structure engagements to stay flexible so clients can scale involvement without long-term retainers.
Who I Work With & What It Delivers
Client and colleague reflections on real organizational impact.
CEOs, Founders & Boards
As a confidential sounding board to the executive leader, I step in when the stakes are highest so that they never have to navigate critical inflection points alone. I help them uncover blind spots, align their leadership table around difficult decisions, and protect the organization's culture and talent when everything is on the line.
HR Leaders
Serving as a senior peer and strategic advisor to the internal people leader, I provide the grounded executive presence I always valued when I sat in that seat. Together, we lift the HR practitioner out of daily transactional firefighting and transform the function into an essential driver of the business strategy.
New Managers
Working directly with the newly appointed manager, I make sure that stepping into people leadership comes with genuine support rather than guesswork. I equip the first-time leader with practical, repeatable frameworks—from boundary-setting to decisive delegation—so they can guide their team with authentic confidence.
