The Story
Throughline Consulting believes that every professional journey is shaped by how people communicate, connect, and show up in the world of work. Communication is not just what you say. It is the psychology behind how it lands, how it influences others, and how it shapes relationships, decisions, and careers.
Founded by Maribeth Ayers Stickel, Throughline Consulting builds on more than two decades of experience in leadership development, organizational strategy, and professional learning. With a background in talent strategy at global consulting firms, university teaching, and performance-based communication, this work blends business insight with a deep understanding of human behavior.
The focus of the practice is helping leaders communicate with clarity and intention, supporting professionals through periods of change, and creating environments where connection and meaning matter. Rather than teaching surface-level techniques, Throughline Consulting explores the psychology of communication, including how people interpret messages, build trust, and engage with one another at work.
Through executive presence development, interactive workshops, professional learning experiences, and community-based coaching, leaders, professionals, and teams gain tools and insight to communicate clearly, build confidence, and navigate career transitions with purpose.
Whether a leader is refining how they communicate within an organization, a professional is navigating a career shift, or a team is building stronger ways of working together, Throughline Consulting offers a thoughtful, grounded, and practical approach that supports real progress.
The work is centered on people and relationships. Communication is both psychological and relational, and this practice is dedicated to helping others apply it with intention and impact.
