Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, Kathy Kersten
Achieve More Than You Ever Thought Possible
Whether you are looking to transform your team or simply want to harness the power of your personal strengths, I am here to help you achieve more than you ever thought possible.
I’m Kathy Kersten, a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and a dedicated team maximizer with more than 15 years of experience in unlocking the potential of individuals and teams. My journey in the world of strengths began with a focus on employee engagement at Rackspace, leading me to specialize in enhancing the dynamics within tech teams and organizations. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of collaborating with tech leaders from esteemed companies such as Meta, Google, and Amazon Web Services.
My approach is rooted in creating trust-based environments where everyone’s unique talents can flourish. I’ve facilitated strategic retreats, coached cross-functional teams, and partnered with top educational institutions like Texas A&M University and the University of Texas San Antonio on impactful projects. I also have a strong passion for supporting women’s professional development, having served as a coach, facilitator, and keynote speaker for various organizations and events.



On a personal note, I am deeply committed to living out my strengths alongside my husband and three children in our beloved state of Texas. We are a family of bookworms who love to travel, fish, and root for the Texas Aggies. I also host the Obey Your Strengths podcast where I share inspiring stories and practical wisdom gleaned from entrepreneurs and leaders with whom I’ve had the privilege to work.
