Lasting Increases of Self Awareness
Kathy did not ask for this recommendation, but it’s been 2 years since she facilitated a training for our organization and I still think about the efficacy of the entire event on a regular basis. Kathy is throughly knowledgable about strengths, but also how to organize, run, and lead an event. Colleagues of mine who went through her training still reference their strengths finder & this training to me also. In a short event for the team, there were noticeable & lasting increases of self awareness across the team. I would strongly recommend Kathy.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Excellent Communicator
I have attended two of Kathy’s StrengthsFinder workshops and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had. She not only talked about each individual strength, but helped us to understand how we can utilize and leverage these strengths. Kathy made sure that the audience was engaged in the activities, which helped us in knowing more about ourselves and about our teammates. She is an excellent communicator and illustrator—able to deliver a complex topic in a very efficient and effective way. She made sure to answer every single question and gave actionable advice that can lead to both individual and team success.
