Martha Ramos Duffer, Psy.D.

 

Martha Ramos Duffer is a licensed clinical psychologist, motivational speaker, trainer, executive coach, and organizational consultant who has spent the past twenty years working with local, regional, and national leaders and organizations. At 12 years old, equally fascinated, confused, and enamored of humans, she declared she would get a doctorate degree in psychology to unravel the mystery. Despite going on to do so, much to her initial dismay and subsequent delight, the mystery and wonder live on. Inspired by the evolving fields of neuropsychology, behavioral economics, and interpersonal neurobiology along with decades of working with people through her private practice; on university campuses as a professor, consultant, and student-group advisor; in communities of color as Executive Director of a community-based organization; and, within organizations as a consultant, Martha saw the need for personal and organizational change processes that brought together contemporary and ancestral wisdom of people and communities and synthesized scientific inquiry and knowledge on human minds and behavior, leadership, organizational development, and systemic inequities. This led to the formation of Quantum Possibilities, an organizational growth consulting firm that applies contemporary research, as well as Racial Equity, Wellness, and Appreciative Inquiry frameworks to support people and organizations to grow and thrive. Martha loves to see people and organizations expand into possibilities they had stopped daring to dream. She flourishes most when curled up with a book, splashing in the ocean, traveling with friends, or watching the wildflowers bloom in Austin, Texas, which she now calls home.
