Hear from our KPI Certified Practitioners about their journey of navigating polarities.
“The KPI has enabled me to go deep with clients and enjoy doing it. I can help clients see the deeper story beneath their behaviors. I like looking at patterns and holding them up for the clients’ inquiry. When I hold it as such, I don’t get attached to the story and stay connected to the client.”
– Bill Pullen, Former Head of the Georgetown University Leadership Coaching Program and Institute for Transformational Leadership
“The KPI is a framework that goes beyond the question of right or wrong, good or bad. It provides you a 3D view of your strengths as motivators and examines how deeply held attachments can keep us stuck in a polarized view – shedding light on why navigating these paradoxical tensions is often easier said than done.”
– Abbey Jenkins, Chief Commercial & Business Officer, Lyndra Therapeutics
“This was the most valuable session thus far in Capital One’s Leadership Lighthouse series. I have not seen this topic addressed in this way before. I will begin using the 6 Key Polarities of Leadership and the Polarity Navigator for self-exploration and practical application. Awesome materials and a great presenter with the specific example!”
– Participant, Leadership Lighthouse Polarity Master Class
“I had the good fortune to have a 360-degree view of my leadership using the KPI model. I was admittedly skeptical about yet another instrument, having done MBTI, DISC, and some other popular HR moves. The handling of the KPI became a powerful experiential tool for me to understand where my actions were out of balance with my priorities and engendered a “felt sense” of overusing traits like being a caregiver, competent contributor, or taking more than 100% responsibility in my commitments. This work has impacted not only my professional sphere but my home life as well. My growth in this role has proceeded much faster and with greater sophistication thanks to its impact.”
– Saneeve Bala, MD, MPH, VP Regulatory Affairs, North American and Latin America, BeiGene
“I find the topic of polarities to be relevant due to the state of our world. As a result of this course, I notice polarities everywhere. When I’m working with clients I have a different lens now, I’m listening for polarities. I like having a variety of assessment tools in my toolbox. The KPI allowed me to embed polarities more into my consulting and coaching practice.”
– Cathy Wright, President, New Ground Consulting Group, Inc.
“What an incredible journey! Navigating polarities has been expansive for me personally and has helped me deepen my coaching practice. The KPI is an exciting addition to my toolkit, providing a way to uncover powerful insights and develop transformative solutions for the tensions we face both personally and professionally.”
– Lauren Canty, Coach and Consultant
“I noticed that holding this pole absolutely speaks to a part of my identity, and the less preferred pole touches deeply rooted beliefs forged by society’s culture of racial inequities.”
– Shelly Heath-Watson, Director, Coaching Programs & Services, CI International
