About Kimberley Lewis Parsons

Stubborn habits like these can derail even the best leadership teams-Circling around decisions, lacking clarity on who makes the call or waiting for 100% agreement to move forward-Missing big-picture strategic concerns because operational details consume your time together-Wasting time in meetings, or worse, avoiding them due to tense to toxic exchanges between members.Patterns like these slow down leadership teams from achieving the results they should!With 20 years of experience at Capital One (first in Tech, then in HR after executive coaching changed my “widgets” from 0s-and-1s to people), I’ve seen firsthand the innovation, results beyond expectations, and (dare I say) fun that can be unlocked when leadership teams work well together…and the ripple effects when they don’t.Amazing things happen when leadership teams row in the same direction, so I made it my business (literally) to help teams-at-the-top tackle friction slowing their interactions so they can achieve greater results and impact. Through executive team coaching and facilitation, we help leadership teams deliver results faster and with more ease.We help senior leadership teams shift to behaviors that—>Focus more on the right work at the right altitude through increased alignment on purpose and priorities—>Speed up collaboration with more effective ways of working—>Expand and smooth the flow of work through more skillful communication and interpersonal interactions. Here’s what our clients have said:“Getting clear about rights and responsibilities and how we would make important decisions dramatically improved the speed of our decision-making.” CEO, Media Software Company“We have gotten faster at making operational-level decisions which then leaves us more time and space for the more strategic areas we should be focusing on.” CXO, Political Action Committee“Could I achieve the same? Yes, but with the same tools, no. At the same speed? Probably not. It would have taken forever and impacted my ability to lead the team as I would have had to focus on it.” VP of Global Quality Management, Pharmaceutical CompanyHelping executive teams increase their effectiveness is our jam!
