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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
