Meet Kevin
Leadership Advisor | Executive Coach | DDI Certified Master Trainer
For more than 30 years, Kevin Parkyn has come alongside leaders and organizations to strengthen communication, build trust, coach others, and foster ownership.
A Leadership Advisor
Kevin takes the time to understand what leaders and organizations are trying to accomplish before recommending a solution. That may include leadership workshops, executive coaching, assessment, or ongoing development and reinforcement.
A Purpose-Driven Founder
In your corner,
A Coach “In Your Corner”
Kevin often closes his correspondence with the words, “In your corner.”
For him, it is more than a sign-off. It reflects how he approaches his work.
Executive Coaching
Kevin’s coaching is practical and individualized.
He helps leaders step back from the day-to-day, look honestly at how they are leading, and identify the behaviors that will have the greatest impact on their effectiveness.
The goal is not simply greater self-awareness. It is turning insight into action by helping leaders clarify priorities, strengthen their impact, and make measurable progress on the leadership challenges that matter most.
Leadership Workshops: What Makes Them Effective?
Kevin’s style is conversational, practical, and highly engaging. He uses real-world stories, insightful questions, and situations from participants’ actual work to make development relevant.
Kevin judges the effectiveness of a workshop by two criteria:
✓ Are participants actively engaged?
✓ What are they committed to using when they return to work?
“I’ve watched the skills I share with leaders change the trajectory of their careers and the impact of their leadership.”
Experience That Connects at Every Level
Kevin has worked with leaders at every level across manufacturing, mining, energy, transportation, aerospace, healthcare, retail, technology, and professional services.
He makes it a priority to experience his clients’ workplaces firsthand, from manufacturing floors and mines to offices and call centers.
Kevin is a DDI Certified Master Trainer and an executive coach certified through Steinbrecher and Associates.
Leadership Legacy Is Built Daily
Kevin believes leadership development ultimately comes down to a question every leader should be willing to ask themselves:
“Are people better because they worked with or for me?”
The way leaders listen, respond, coach, decide, and follow through creates an impact that extends well beyond today’s business results.
Leadership legacy worth repeating isn’t left to chance.
It’s shaped through the daily choices you make.
A Life Outside of Work
Away from his work with clients, Kevin enjoys spending time with his wife, Deb, their children, and their granddaughter. He also enjoys golfing and traveling with Deb.
