Authentic Leadership:
Bringing head and heart into balance

As a leader, your success depends on your ability to mobilize and engage the hearts, minds, and hands of other talented people.

At Kesslin Associates we coach you to combine the logic of your head with the subtle wisdom and guidance of your heart. If you think you can survive the chaos and change coming in the next decade by logic alone - think again.

Leading From Your Soul

We work with you to make deep and lasting changes in how you lead -- your team, your business, your family, your relationships, your community -- your life. There's a powerful authentic leader within you with vast, untapped potential.

In our work together, you discover and develop your unique leadership style -- taking into account your natural strengths, talents, and abilities. We also consider current weaknesses and develop strategies to minimize or eliminate their impact on your ability to produce results.

We've developed unique ways to help you embody new and more appropriate responses to challenging situations. We help you lead with all your resources by strengthening the connection between your mind and body, your thoughts and emotions, your IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence).

"Real leadership development starts from a much broader place than 'career planning': It begins with a holistic vision of one's life, in all its richness. To achieve improved business performance, leaders need to be emotionally engaged in their self-development. And that requires connecting the effort to what really matters to them."
--Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee in Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence

We help you rediscover what really matters to you -- what feeds your soul -- and show you how to use that as the foundation for your personal and professional success.

Personal Actions

Now more than ever, you need to look deep into your own soul and decide how you want to lead your life... as well as your world. Since you communicate your leadership through every action you take, ask yourself:

• What do I deeply value and believe in? And do my actions honor those values in my work and my life?
• Have I clearly defined my own success and am I taking effective action to create it?
• Do my actions result in greater creativity, peace, and happiness for myself and others?
• Do I control my reactions, or do they control me?

You play an important role in our world. Every action you take influences and impacts our collective future. The more you understand, and intentionally use, the power of your personal actions, the more hope we have for creating a just and safe world in which to live, work, play and love.

We work with senior executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, community leaders
and their leadership teams.
