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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
