I look back on the experience and can’t imagine how I managed to make it through 30 years in business without the skills I learned with Kai. In my current role I work in an intensely collaborative environment where relationships are key, and didn’t realize how much my prior experience in large organizations and start-ups was coloring my leadership style. Working with Kai has helped me develop practical skills for empathy and emotional intelligence, and expanded my awareness of, and compassion for, both myself and the people I work with.

After running a startup as a co-founder and one of the main implementors for over a decade, I was feeling burnt out and uncertain of my direction. My time working with Kai helped me get clarity on what choices I was making that led to particular outcomes. With the guidance and tools Kai offered, I learned to trust my own insight more and to make more intentional decisions to consciously shape the path I wanted going forward. The foundational work we did led to additional revelations as I continued, and I can definitely say I'm both more productive and more balanced in my approaches to work and life as a result of our work together.

Kai understands my voice and takes my multi dimensional thinking and weaves it into a coherent narrative that everyone can access. He is very good at clarifying end goals and thought processes on complex topics.

My work with Kai the past two years has been a profound and life-changing experience -- which is saying a lot for me as I’m in the lifestyle transformation business. Our work began through sessions of effective and surprisingly holistic executive coaching, that evolved into much more targeted personal work as I became more comfortable exploring the root causes of my business challenges. Kai’s focus on self-empathy, awareness, and action allowed us to look at big challenges, find a starting point and begin making small, intentional and incremental progress that accumulated noticeably, like sand in an hourglass. My work with Kai enabled me to weather the most difficult year of our business, and a horrible series of personal events in a way that I am truly proud of. My work with him has inspired several of my peers to seek out similar help with balancing spiritual, career and work/life challenges.
