Rebecca Channer

Rebecca believes that resilience is the secret ingredient that increases the surface area of one’s heart.

Having endured adversity and trauma during her childhood and young adult years, Rebecca funneled these early learning opportunities into her work as an advocate, activist, teacher, manager, director and eventual founder of UpCity Consulting, a nimble firm bent on helping NGO leaders shift from a posture of scarcity to possibility.

Rebecca also spent numerous years working overseas, including as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural Namibia, an experience that sparked as much perspective as it did internal conflict, and ultimately shaped her belief that making meaningful change in the world is dependent on the ability to talk less and listen more.

In 2017, ProsperCity was born from Rebecca’s imagination in response to growing evidence that pay discrimination and disparity still exist in most workplaces. The business model was vetted by a group of university students as their capstone project, and fully developed during Rebecca’s participation in Seth Godin’s altMBA program.
