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!

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!

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!

Value Is In Understanding
Being in the hospital setting, I have done similar assignments in the past, but I have never gotten any real value out of it. You presented the information very well and made it clear to me what the value is in understanding this system. Thank you very much! I really enjoyed your presentation and meeting you. So much light shines from you!

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!

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.
