OUR PRINCIPAL
Joe O'Leary founded All Rise Strategies after two decades in public service as an attorney, non-partisan legislative staffer, advisor and general counsel to governors, and a state agency director. His mission is to empower leaders and organizations to achieve growth with purpose. Joe's career has been defined by navigating complex systems, leading large-scale change, and building consensus across diverse communities. His approach is grounded in the belief that true growth and success is not a binary equation with winners and losers, but a collaborative process where everyone can rise.
At All Rise Strategies, Joe brings a unique blend of strategic expertise, a deep commitment to equity and racial justice, and the firsthand experience of leading a complex, 1000-employee public agency with a $200 million annual budget. His work is informed by the principles honed in government administration, law, and politics. Joe's not just a consultant, he's a trusted partner who understands the challenges of leadership from the inside out.
Joe brings a value-based, relational approach to consulting and coaching, meeting each client where they are and helping them get to where they want to be.

"What truly sets Joe apart is his rare ability to balance innovation with practicality. In an industry where meaningful innovation is notoriously complex, Joe consistently finds pathways forward that others miss.
He's both a visionary and a pragmatist—a combination rarely found in one leader.
As a mentor and subject matter expert, Joe's guidance has been invaluable. He creates psychologically safe environments where team members feel empowered to contribute their best work."
-Felice Upton, former Youth Rehabilitation Services Director, Washington State
A PRACTICAL PARTNER
All Rise Strategies is not a conventional consulting firm, and our methods reflect that. You won’t get a thick binder or a glossy, but unimplementable, plan. Our work is focused on practical, actionable change.
We are not here to tell you what to do, but to help you find the answers within your own organization. Together, we will cut through the management speak and the complexity to build a clear path forward, taking real steps that lead to meaningful progress.
