personalized leadership development,
coaching, & mentorship
You love your job…or at least you used to.
For the most part the good outweighs the bad, but the “bad” is piling up and you’re beginning to think it’s not worth it anymore.
Good news: you don’t have to be the CEO or Secretary of Defense to be able to make a difference.
Learn how to navigate difficult bosses, co-workers, and endless red tape with out losing your mind or throwing your printer out the window.
You’ve got a team. Now what?
› How do you motivate your people to do their jobs, to show up and give a shit, when you can’t fire them or give out bonuses?
› How do you keep people going when it sucks?
› What does taking care of your people actually mean? That sentiment- “take care of your people” is thrown around quite a bit. Has anyone ever taught you what that looks like? Do you let Frank go home early the moment he sneezes? Or do you allow him to push through his fever or miss his kid’s soccer game?
› How do you give feedback in a constructive way and doesn’t end in a meltdown?
› What do you do when someone starts crying or screaming at you in front of everyone?
What We Focus On
The four key areas vital to effective leadership, tailored to each unique individual & organization:
» Awareness (of yourself and everyone else)
» Radical Personal Responsibility (aka own your shit…ALL of it)
» Effective Communication
» Accountability + Boundaries (for you and them)
This Is For You If
» You have a shithead boss (or maybe you’re the shithead boss…??)
» You’re at the bottom of the totem pole but know it can (and should) be better and want to improve yourself and your organization
» You have a team and are doing your best to figure it out… but have situations you just don’t know how to handle
» The culture of your command is completely hosed and, well, here you are so lets get to freaking work
Individual & Team Results
» A culture and command climate people actually want to be apart of and work their butts off for
» Trust. In yourself, the team, the command/company
» Improved communication
» Increased effectiveness + efficiency
» More confidence across the board
» Effective time management, prioritization, & decision making = going home before the sun goes down and still crushing it
My name is Kayla.
I’m here to tell you that you can have an impact on your organization. From where you are. Right now.
I was a Naval Surface Warfare Officer (read: ship driver/missile shooter) for over 10 years. I’ve been (and still am) an active-duty Marine wife for a slightly different 10 years. I have 15+ years of public & private management & leadership experience across several industries and generations.
I had a love/hate relationship with the SWO community while I was in. I’ve since learned that the things I loved and the things I hated about my world are not unique to the Surface Navy. There’s some flavor of all of it, in all the communities, across all the services. Turns out, the civilian world isn’t too much different either.
We’re great at a lot of things. We need to keep doing what’s working. We must fix the culture issues. The future of all of our services depends on it. Even Space Force.
That’s why I’m here. To help you love your job again, or never stop liking it to begin with. To help make the day-to-day better, because yea, sometimes it just freaking sucks. And to fix the bigger issues for everyone’s sake. Yours, mine, our kids’, the country’s. I’m not kidding and I don’t take it lightly. Let’s go.
