Below are stories of growth from high-achievers I’ve worked with. After reading, take the next step and let’s bring your leadership ability to the next level.

This higher level of awareness has helped me manage myself and engage with others with less worry and stress.

I hold high standards for myself, and I wanted to excel both as an employee and as a leader. I knew I needed someone to guide and teach me — to show me how to ask good questions and
lead effectively.

You helped me avoid continuing down my habitual thought patterns and resulting behaviors and anxieties. This higher level of awareness has helped me manage myself and engage with others with much less worry and stress.

One of the most memorable sessions I have had with Kevin was a discussion about leadership styles and how I can be cognizant of the biases I inherently bring to the table as a male with privilege and how I can ensure that colleagues who I engage with feel that they have the agency to express their voices fully — that they are fully heard.

This was a challenge for me.

Your inviting, gentle style led me through the challenge, providing feedback without judgment, creating a safe space where I could be vulnerable with my true thoughts and worries. I walked away from the session feeling highly confident about the steps I could take to improve.

You ask good, powerful questions that get to the roots of issues, and that helps me come to my own conclusions about areas that I would not have considered but which are relevant to the topic of leading — and I learned a lot about myself.

I’m more self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and intentional when taking action — all of which help me manage and lead.

My developing leadership abilities have helped in so many areas of work: year-end goals, team-wide task management, improving processes, mentoring my department, grants management, developing products, social relationships, and personal challenges.

It was also a big help that you could mentor me in the government sector, an area I knew little about.

I understand myself better, and that’s been a tremendous help.

Kevin, you’re a role model for me. Thank you.
