True Doing examines both internal conditions (nervous system state, capacity, beliefs) and external conditions (systems, structures, power dynamics) to understand what's keeping change from happening.

This creates a clear path forward: identify the conditions creating dysfunction or challenges, then shifting them.

About the Founder

Kézha Hatier's path to this work began with studying social behavior in wild animals—coyotes in Yellowstone and spotted hyenas at UC Berkeley.

Her Master's of Science research focused on coyote pack dynamics in Yellowstone National Park—observing how the presence of helpers changed what breeding pairs could afford to do. Pairs without helpers didn't fail, but they stayed in survival mode, locked into constant caregiving. Pairs with helpers could flex strategically between nursing, guarding, teaching, and territorial defense.

She also studied spotted hyena social behavior at UC Berkeley, examining how complex social structures and hierarchies influenced cooperation and survival.

Then she spent 25+ years working within teams to create environments for flourishing in humans at the intersection of leadership, philanthropy, and human systems across the human rights, biodiversity and wildlife conservation, education, climate, and social justice sectors.

Her career spans executive leadership in philanthropy, advisory work with funding networks, foundations, and major donors, and the building of international collaborations grounded in partnership and community knowledge.

Most recently, Kézha served as Vice President of External Relations at Global Greengrants Fund, where she helped shape and support one of the early and influential approaches to movement-led, trust-based grantmaking—centering locally rooted solutions for equitable change that understand contextual needs and stick.
