Delores B. Lindsey, Ph.D.
Dr. Delores Lindsey believes that the culture of an organization or team is best reflected by the communication
skills, language and stories used within the organization. She captures many of these stories in her writing
and speaking. As former Director of the California School Leadership Academy at the Orange County Department
of Education, Delores leads and coaches organizations using motivational and inspirational communication skills,
"strategic visioning" techniques, team development strategies, and leadership standards for excellence.
Drawing from her Southern heritage, Delores shares her personal stories as a student, classroom teacher, middle school
principal, and professional developer. Audiences, workshop participants, and graduate students appreciate her refreshing
look at life within an organization as reflected in the stories and language of its members. She serves as coach
and Adaptive Schools consultant for schools and districts. Delores is an Assistant Professor at California State
University, San Marcos, San Marcos, California. She is co-author of Culturally Proficient Instruction: A Guide
for People Who Teach (Corwin Press, 2002).
