1:1 Coaching

“I FELL MUCH MORE CONFIDENT as a result of all the work we did together. I also really like the idea that I CAN CREATE A NEW ME that doesn't have to stick to whatever has not worked in the past! I feel like another results is HOW I ENGAGE DIFFERENTLY with people than in the past and I'M REALLY ENJOYING MY WORK INTERACTIONS WITH MY NEW TEAM THANKS TO THESE RESULTS.”

Jennifer Apperti - Deputy Director of SMU Tower enter

I had many "a-ha" moments thanks to my coaching sessions with Kevin. I had a strong understanding of my shortcomings but really struggled to change or fix what wasn't working. Energy Leadership helped me set boundaries, gain confidence to try things outside of my comfort zone, and walk away from self-defeating behaviors. Most importantly, Kevin's guidance showed me how to ask the right questions and be more open (curious). I would absolutely recommend Kevin! He is the best advisor, champion, and confidant that a person could ask for during a path of self-development.

The most impactful work we did together was to help position me outside of inner dialogs in order to allow for greater awareness of how I’m engaging, when I’m reacting, when I’m being thoughtful. This has placed me in a position to be able to choose which approach I take to my work and relationships, inherently allowing me to be in greater control of the outcomes. This has reduced stress, helped me to have more impact, and significantly affected my moral.

The number one thing I appreciated about this process was that it was a shared journey that focused on what needs I brought. It was customized to the steps I needed to take to meet my goals. I’ve participated in development courses before, but working with a Kevin is very different as it was customized based on my needs.

Kevin allowed me to tap into dimensions of my personal and professional life that I had not addressed in quite some time. If you are looking into increasing your self-awareness and having the support to drive you towards your goals, Kevin is an expert. He has the methodology and the enthusiasm to keep you faithful to your goals and achieving them through milestones. He knows how to make this process fun with his bright personality and easy smile. He supported me specifically in feeling more comfortable in bringing my authentic self to work and navigating challenging department organizational decisions. I think that without his coaching my backbone and clarity on what I wanted to achieve would not have been as clear.”

I was going through a very difficult situation in my career and your sessions opened my mind about how my attitude was affecting all areas of my life. I felt like a victim, but your leadership coaching showed me there were a lot of aspects for which I could be in control. More than lessons about work, your leadership coaching were lessons for life. The most interesting thing of all is that the more time passes, the more I see the clear impact of your coaching in my professional and personal life. Kevin is very perceptive, and he challenges you without making you feel overwhelmed. It is a fine balance, and you excel at it!

My self-confidence as a leader and professional grew. I've always battled with self-doubt, often getting caught up in my own negative narratives about falling short. When I began expressing these thoughts to Kevin, he consistently challenged me through pointed questions. And, more often than not, I realized there was no substantial evidence. Sharing my insecurities with Kevin proved beneficial, as he skillfully guided me to understand they were unfounded. I would highly recommend Kevin, and in fact, two of my colleagues are now working with him!

I enjoyed that this was a guided process, not a lead process.  I’ve had take-aways from “lead” trainings in the past but none that truly changed me in the moment.  I need to change me and with this process being guided, it allowed for exactly that. I now have the ability to speak freely and confidently in that room without questioning if or when I should, not looking to others for permission. I also realized how to leverage the weight of my words within the organization to better influence and inspire. I absolutely would recommend Kevin to others.  He takes the time to listen, understands the need and desired outcome, is attentive to alternate opportunities along the journey, and guides the participant acknowledging the journey is theirs and he is their partner!

April Robere - Senior Director of Enterprise Transformation at LivCor

“Kevin is a compassionate coach and is such a great listener. He has a unique ability to pick up on nuances and nail the situation or issue. The result has allowed me to be more aware of situations in my life & personal traps that over time became my “go to” behavior. I have been questioning my career progression for some time and Kevin helped me very quickly understand where my uneasiness was coming from and allowed me to find my purpose and fulfillment. I absolutely, without a doubt, recommend him to anyone looking for a coach as you will benefit from his compassion and focused approach."

Julia, - SVP of Finance & Operations

He is a good listener and genuinely cares. What I admire most is that he wants to make this world a better place with all of us reaching our full potential. The roundtable offered insights into some of the most prevalent challenges we all face in our work communities which more often than not result in us feeling frustrated and sometimes even paralyzed not knowing which direction to take next. Kevin offers innovative and state-of-the-art tools to help leaders perform at their very best and turn their businesses into powerful entities where everybody has a voice and the opportunity to thrive. In the end we are all in this together and only with united forces can we work towards a more successful tomorrow. Having a dedicated coach like Kevin makes all the difference in discovering what it truly takes to be a transformational rather than a transactional leader. I would recommend Kevin and 2 Steps Forward Coaching to any business looking to make a lasting change.

- Pam Heigl Foster, SHRM-CP

Kevin really helped me to understand that the gap between my desires and the opportunities around me were not as large as I felt and that sometimes this gap was not there at all. I didn’t expect how much growth I experienced and the self-awareness that has allowed me to better evaluate my situation and my challenges. My recommendation to you is to take the plunge and open your soul. I left every session with a list of things to do and to think about, but ultimately, I always felt great and noticed I had more energy. I wish I had done this 20 years ago as Kevin is a great guide who helped me unlock the most amazing results.
