< Back to Success Stories

An executive in the financial services industry found herself showing up as too “junior” for her role. Once a successful college athlete, she felt defeated. She was told she lacked executive presence with the CEO, was prone to “rescuing” her team and taking on their duties, and was focused far too much on her own performance and not enough on serving the needs of her clients.

Working with a Kenning coach, the executive leveraged the grit that she had developed in her sports training. She defined a vision for a new leadership style and then set out to reach it. Using the TFAR framework, the coach helped the executive reframe her Thoughts, experience more productive Feelings, experiment with new Actions, and confirm the Results.

“I cannot speak highly enough about Laurie and the value she brings to an organization. She worked with my executive leadership to help them recognize each others’ unique styles and create a healthier culture. Two years later, executives and their teams were still practicing what they learned and the results were evident in our people. ”

The executive now enjoys more confidence, interacts with the CEO like a peer, empowers her team to achieve their own goals, and provides servant leadership to her clients. She acts as a catalyst, coordinating the efforts of others, freeing herself up to lead at a whole new level.
