Founder
Dr. Jennifer S. Goldman is an organizational psychologist and Founder of Alignment Strategies Group. Alignment Strategies Group helps leaders align who they are with what they do-- and build the first-rate competencies needed-- to negotiate and manage conflict effectively, and strengthen leadership capacity.
Dr. Goldman brings extensive experience consulting to leaders in a wide range of industries, including financial services, high-tech, consumer goods, and global non-profit and governmental organizations. She blends her expertise in psychology and negotiation to help her clients drive bottom-line organizational results.
She is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Organization and Leadership at Teachers College, Columbia University and an executive coach with the Program on Social Intelligence at Columbia Business School. Earlier in her career, she served as Director of Negotiation Programs at Mediation Works Incorporated, and as a facilitator for the internationally-acclaimed Program of Instruction for Lawyers at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School. She received a B.A. in Social Psychology from Tufts University and holds a Ph.D. in Social-Organizational Psychology from Columbia University.
"I've had the pleasure and reaped the benefits of experiencing Jennifer's supreme skills as a coach, a leader, and a mediator firsthand. She has a unique gift for handling tricky, entrenched, and seemingly insurmountable interpersonal conflicts and dynamics and bringing lightness, amicability, and resolution to them. I've seen her coach individuals towards clarity and strength on issues that had bedeviled them their whole lives, and have myself been led to personal gains of equal value. Her grace and her gentle demeanor give the lie to the idea that it takes an aggressive or harsh temperament to radically challenge and shake up our ingrained and dysfunctional ways of being. She has a light touch that yields incredible results!"

"[The workshop] enabled us to develop the competencies necessary to address conflict as an ongoing process...I thoroughly enjoyed learning the CIVIC framework. This framework is by far one of the most applicable I've come across."
-- Sean Brown, participant, Transforming Conflict From Within Workshop, International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution, Columbia University
