Executive Coaching | KC Consulting

At KC Consulting, we provide highly effective, confidential executive coaching to help business leaders develop a clear understanding of their leadership objectives, strengths, development areas and their value to the organization.

How the Process Works

We begin by meeting with you to understand your current business priorities, the scope and complexity of your role, and the challenges you are facing. We listen carefully and ask thoughtful questions to gain an understanding of you, your concerns and what you hope to gain from Executive Coaching.

Next, in a format that fits your needs and preferences, we provide a customized assessment package, which typically includes personality and workstyle surveys as well as 360° feedback.* With that insight as a background, we then work together in a series of ongoing, confidential, one-on-one coaching sessions. This process generally involves some combination of:

In-person goal-setting and feedback sessions
In-person interviews with your boss, peers, and direct reports
In-person and telephone coaching sessions, conducted monthly or bi-monthly
On-site “shadowing” with you

We’re Committed to Your Leadership Development

Our coaching style emphasizes developing a close rapport, giving feedback in a confidential and supportive manner, listening, challenging assumptions, and maintaining a sense of humor. The engagement length depends on the needs of the executive, typically ranging between 6 to 12 months.

While each coaching engagement is unique, some common areas of focus include:

Enhancing interpersonal style and influencing skills
Delivering effective feedback to direct reports
Accelerating integration into a new leadership role
C-suite: “lonely at the top,” sounding board, safe haven
Managing conflict
Managing change

Our credibility in providing practical and pragmatic coaching is informed by the extensive executive experience of founder and principal Kim Conklin. She brings over three decades of global HR experience in Fortune 10 and private organizations, across multiple industries.

Prior to launching her own HR consulting practice in 2012, she was Chief Human Resources Officer of a privately held global technology company, spanning 16 countries and over 3,700 employees.

If you’re seeking to improve your leadership capabilities, we offer expert, empathic support and insight. To begin the dialog, please call us.
