Our Origin: A Dream to Build a Better Way
Dream Builders University (DBU) began with a profound vision from our Founder and President, LaMarqué D. Ward, Sr.
Having overcome his own struggles to find purpose and direction, LaMarqué recognized a critical need: not every young person finds their "team" or sense of purpose.1 He saw the need for a dedicated resource to guide students toward their life's path, focusing on vital leadership and soft skills.
A Legacy of Mentorship: LaMarqué Ward and Kelly Hayden
The spirit of Dream Builders University is carried forward directly into DBU Counseling Services under the leadership of CEO Kelly Hayden, LPC. Kelly, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 19 years of experience in coaching and counseling, has been personally mentored by LaMarqué Ward.
This powerful mentorship ensures that DBU Counseling is deeply rooted in the core DBU philosophy of transformation, empowerment, social-emotional growth, and executive functioning skills.. Kelly Hayden brings her own expansive expertise in human development, mental health, and social justice advocacy to the mission.4 Her focus is on delivering unique, personalized strategic plans that drive self-sustained cultural improvement for individuals and organizations.
Under Kelly's leadership, DBU Counseling Services is poised to lead the way, combining therapeutic expertise with the proven transformational strategies pioneered by LaMarqué Ward.
