What Clients Say About Working with Me
"Kendall’s support and skilled facilitation was critical to completing our organization’s first strategic planning process. Kendall moves fluidly between coaching and consulting, reading our needs in the moment. She had a sense when to make us do the work ourselves, by asking good questions, versus when to offer her expertise”
Our process was extra challenging because we did it during the COVID crisis and in Spanish over Zoom -- in a region of Guatemala with unreliable internet access. The process included the heavy lift of making painful cuts to our staff and budget. She provided decision-tools and helped us create a process that lifted up the voices of our indigenous organizational leaders. Her coaching built all of our capacity to make difficult decisions now and in the future in a fair, transparent, and collaborative way. The finished product of our Strategic Plan is inspiring, even with the uncertainty of COVID It will guide us forward to a more impactful future as an organization.”
