Leadership Coaching
Structured coaching focused on behavior and lasting change
I coach leaders who want direct feedback, practical growth strategies, and long-term behavior change. My coaching focuses on the patterns that impact leadership effectiveness and decision-making in complex environments. By emphasizing individual agency, I help leaders take the next step forward to becoming the leaders they want to be.
Coaching engagements begin with an evaluation of the leader’s top strengths and development priorities. Progress on development areas is tracked throughout sessions and at the end of the engagement to ensure goals are reached.

Client Testimonials
“Kayla forced me to dig deep into what I’m doing, finding alignment between my career and my personal goals and values. Because of my coaching sessions with Kayla, I’m able to think about where the alignment is strongest and where it’s weakest. It also made me confront misalignments head on. Kayla helped me see the bigger picture of how my job fits into my life.
In her guidance, she didn’t instruct or tell me things; instead she gently drew out thoughts and ideas from myself. The entire process was essentially self-discovery. Like a true coach, Kayla brings out what we already have.”
— Paul, Federal Healthcare Executive
“Kayla’s coaching has helped me make meaningful progress toward each of my goals. I feel more confident sharing my ideas, more willing to speak up in professional settings, and better equipped to step back and think more strategically. I've become better at recognizing patterns in my thinking, which has helped me approach situations with more clarity and purpose.
Rather than providing the answers, she asked thoughtful, insightful questions that helped me uncover my own perspectives and solutions. Her ability to create that kind of space has made a lasting impact on my growth.”
— Whitney, Resource Management at Huron
“I had a great experience working with Kayla as my executive coach. I came into coaching with assumptions about where I needed to focus, but through her thoughtful guidance, I gained insights about myself and my leadership that I genuinely don’t think I would have reached on my own.
Kayla is a gentle guide who still gets you where you need to go. She has a real talent for seeing the big picture, identifying patterns, and drawing on her broader professional expertise to help you make meaningful progress. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a leader.”
