"Kathryn brings a very unique approach compared to other consultants. I believe she dug deeper to help me understand my strengths and weaknesses. It has really stuck with me beyond our formal sessions. I remember her guidance often when reflecting on how to improve my performance."

KCM takes a multi-disciplinary approach drawing from its
expertise in business, management development, cognitive
psychology, executive coaching, sports psychology, and
theatrical techniques. Individuals have the opportunity to
practice new ideas through hands-on scenarios and
improvisation exercises. The
exercises
help men and women make strategic changes including:
overcoming perfectionism, managing setbacks, discovering and
leveraging their career strengths, addressing their
weaknesses, and establishing and nurturing relationships. In
addition, KCM draws upon its rich resource network of
experts in public relations, media training, presentation
skills, communication, voice, image management, executive
coaches, diversity, sports, and management. Often, it
collaborates with its network and integrates other services
into its customized training and coaching solutions. The
overall goal is to expand clients' abilities to be strategic
leaders.
What distinguishes the KCM approach is:
- Clarity of focus.
A clear definition of the issues is the first step in
designing customized training and coaching
programs.
- Context based.
Our approach is grounded in business needs, organization
culture, and individual challenges that are based in the
immediate work situation.
- Extensive skills practice.
Development of emotional intelligence and leadership
skills requires hands-on practice on real
work-challenges.
- Measurable.
For coaching assignments, criterion for success is
established early in the assignment, 360-degree feedback
is typically gathered, goals are reviewed at the
midpoint, and a final plan is developed. In training
and speaking engagements, objectives are established and
measured through immediate and follow-up evaluation
measures.
- Extended impact.
The aim is to sustain learning and behavioral changes
through ongoing feedback and coaching. Pacing
PartnersTM program provides an
action plan and creates accountability.
