Spot On Insights
This is our second year working with Kathy to help our small team learn to collaborate better. We had such a good experience the first year, she was our first call when we were booking our annual retreat. Her insights were spot on and she was a big help facilitating our conversation. Thanks Kathy!

Secret Ingredient
I’m hesitant to write this recommendation, because it’s kind of like sharing the secret ingredient to my winning recipe. I have been a client of Kathy’s for several years now and in that time she has provided invaluable coaching that has enabled me to:
align my teams around our strategic priorities
identify effective ways to motivate individual team members
tailor both my coaching methods and the ways in which we celebrate wins…
so that they are more likely to produce the desired results. I highly recommend Kathy for any leader looking for guidance on how to help their teams attain peak performance – just please don’t book all of her time as I still need some!

Such A Hit!
We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Kathy to our bi-annual company all hands meeting in Austin, Texas to help our team understand their own personal strengths and how to best work together so that we can achieve our company goals more effectively. Feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive. Kathy is humorous in her delivery; she customized her workshop for our business needs, and the workshop was such a hit that everyone wanted to get their own personal assessment after the workshop was completed. I highly recommend any growing business to bring in Kathy to help maximize your team’s working quotient.

Hard Not To Get Excited
Kathy’s Gallup strengths-based coaching workshop for high performance teams is a great launch platform for teams looking to transform themselves, based upon the positive strength diversity found in teams. Kathy’s authenticity combined with her experience and passion for strengths based coaching makes it really hard not to get excited about integrating the strength based principles in your team or whole department!

Improves How We Work
Every time Kathy Kersten does team development at Whataburger, we all learn so much about each other. It builds empathy and increases trust in a way that truly improves how we work together. If you are looking for a great CliftonStrengths coach, I highly recommend Kathy. Not one minute is wasted—she is an absolute delight and the team leaves with a very actionable roadmap!

Must-Have Training
I had the good fortune to have Kathy Kersten come to Comcast to deliver a pilot strengths finder training program for our Marketing and HR members. I knew Kathy to be a creative, fun and professional expert at Rackspace and jumped at the chance to introduce Gallup Strengths Finder to key executives at Comcast. She did not disappoint. This is must have training for any organization and the team continues to reference these strengths in meetings and discussions. I would highly recommend Kathy for any organization that is looking to increase teamwork, work on strengths and improve their results!

Impressive Energy, Dialogue & Engagement
I recently worked with a team that Kathy was part of for our organization at @Accion Texas (now LiftFund) and she impressed all our team members. Her energy, dialogue, and engagement was impressive from start (project) to finish (seminars). I’d recommend her to any firm that is seeking a solid foundation on strengths training and relationship building amongst team. Thanks Kathy! Your work will be with us for a lasting time.

Engaging, Captivating Energy
I want you to know that you have a truly wonderful gift. You have the most engaging, captivating energy, great communication skills and ability to bring light to any room.

Knowledgeable & Empathetic Coach
Kathy has consulted as a Leadership Coach at Meta (Facebook) for several years, and I had the good fortune of benefitting from her coaching. When I joined Meta’s Infra Silicon ASIC team, I realized that Meta’s unique work culture was very different from that of a typical semiconductor company (which defined all of my past experience before joining Meta). Kathy helped me adapt to this new environment through the use of several techniques on how to be successful as an engineering manager at Meta. She also helped me understand my “CliftonStrengths” report and how best to capitalize on my unique combination of strengths in my day-to-day work. I am happy to recommend Kathy as a knowledgeable and empathetic coach that can help you become a more effective leader.
