Executive Coaching
One-on-one engagements designed to challenge and support leaders in expanding beyond their current habits, perspectives, and leadership skill sets. These engagements include inner and outer work and are strategic and tactical, reflective, and action-oriented to ensure you have the space to pause, reflect, and learn with exercises for practical application. An assessment of behavior, motivation, and interests is used in conjunction with 360-degree feedback in order to provide deepened insight.
Engagements are typically a minimum of six months, including weekly or biweekly sessions. Some example contexts:
- Seasoned senior leaders or owners who need a sounding board on business, people, and team topics
- Leaders with significant or growing responsibilities who want to lead their teams at their best
- Highly promotable individuals who would benefit from targeted feedback and support to prepare for the next role
Team and Group Coaching
Team Coaching: We utilize an assessment to provide insights to help intact team members understand each other, communicate and work effectively together and build an environment where the whole team can excel to achieve business results. We can conduct this in a stand alone session or over a longer engagement period, and these engagements often include a mix of individual and team sessions.
Group Coaching: We guide leaders from different parts of the organization through an assessment and follow up with regular group coaching sessions focused on leadership and personal development topics relevant for the group.
Assessments
We discover what makes you extraordinary. Uncovering your greatest strengths and your untapped potential, we align those with the goals you have for yourself and those that your company has for you. Assessments are used in combination with specific services but can also be conducted in standalone fashion where we would conduct your debrief session.
- 360° Feedback: We utilize the evidence-based Leadership Circle Profile as well as conduct interviews and administer custom tailored questionnaires to give leaders a thorough review of their current strengths, development opportunities, blind spots and potential.
- The Birkman Method is our firm’s preferred personality/style assessment. This is a powerful instrument that combines behaviors, motivations, and interests, uncovering insights on how you and others act and react in real life situations.
- We do support other assessments that may be preferred by organizations worldwide – Insights Discovery, DISC, etc.
Coaching for Offsites & Retreats
Offering individual coaching sessions and/or assessments as part of a larger leadership meeting, development program or retreat can be a highly effective way to help leaders integrate the learnings and discussions while also tackling their individual goals and challenges.

Former President at USA Network
“Quickly, perceptively, and artfully, Kelly provided me with the coaching I needed to thrive in my position and prepare for the next one.”
NBCUniversal
“Kelly was more than I could have asked for in a coach. Her direct, constructive insights and feedback truly helped me evolve into a stronger executive, so much so that my leadership team has noticed and is supportive of my next level promotion recommendation.”
NBCUniversal
“John and I worked together in several businesses experiencing disruption and ultimately a transformation that required strong senior leadership to guide the way. Over the ten years I was working alongside him, he personally helped both me and the leaders on my teams navigate these challenges to find a way, establish a set of values and principles to do things in the right way, and grow as leaders.”
Emerson ComRes – Digital & Connected Technologies
"Kelly challenged us to be better leaders and a better team in our executive offsite. She left everyone feeling motivated with actionable items for how we can tackle the challenges and goals… She did a fantastic job of guiding difficult conversations, contributing insightful solutions, and holding everyone accountable for areas that require improvement. She displays a tremendous balance of compassion, sincerity, and candor that allowed our team to take in helpful feedback and find ways to work together better as a unit. We look forward to working with Kelly again in the future!"

"Working with Kelly was great. It’s important to be open and honest about areas for improvement to gain the most benefit. I especially found it helpful to learn in most instances my struggles were not uncommon and there could be a path to overcome and build confidence as a leader."
Hussmann
“She helped me become a better leader and co-worker. She worked with me to identify not only the things that were holding me back, but as importantly, the areas in which I excel, enabling me to become more confident and self-assured, manage my time better and be kinder to myself and those around me.”

"Kelly got me to look at my strengths and weaknesses objectively. More importantly, she spent a lot of time with me identifying tools to improve both. The experience taught me to look at leadership differently and that it is essential to constantly be challenging myself as an executive."
Fox Corporation
“John’s rare ability is listening with intention. His way of active listening to seek clarity gives him a deep understanding of what you are struggling with and learns how you feel about it. This gives him the insights to help you figure out what you need to do - but maybe more important - in a way you’ll understand and will best be able to execute because it will make sense to you. I worked with John for six years; he was a constant ally and led me through some transformational ways of handling myself and making me a far better coach and leader.”
Emerson ComRes – Digital & Connected Technologies
"Kelly has allowed me to adjust my mindset in a way that allows me to be more empathetic to my audience, peer, subordinate, superior, friend and even family member. In the most positive way I hear her voice in certain situations that causes me to take a pause before reacting, and has made me a more effective communicator for sure."

I truly enjoyed this professional process from beginning to end. Identifying how others perceive me as a manager and a leader and then being able to refine my management approach through the tactics JP taught me was truly invaluable. I found that this has helped me to grow both in my professional world and my personal life.

"Kelly did a phenomenal job working with an executive on my team. I am a big believer in the executive coaching process and very grateful for it. The executive took a massive step forward in leadership, management and communication skills. The executive is owning their role and I expect big things. A big thanks to Kelly who not only produces results but is pure joy to work with."

“Kelly challenged me to think differently and to understand my blind spots and my leadership styles in calm and under pressure. She provided insights and practical tools in my areas of weakness. Most of all, Kelly cared about me as a whole person and enabled me to be open and vulnerable, which was key for me to make the breakthroughs required to be a next-level leader. I received feedback that my business results achieved far more than expected in the first year in the role. There is no doubt in my mind that there is tremendous value in coaching engagements, and further, Kelly Ramon is simply the best - professional, energetic, no-nonsense!”

"JP wasn't just an executive coach, but a trusted partner for me. He provided me the opportunity to bounce and discuss confidential ideas/concepts in a forum that was outside of the work environment, which really helped me in how I then communicated with and guided my team. My time with JP was very valuable and appreciated."

"While knowing there are always areas of improvement, I went into the process unsure if the timing was right. From assessment to working sessions, Kelly provided immediate insight into the developmental areas that would make me more impactful as a leaders. Not only did she help me stick to my plan, she involved my team in the process - working together and getting better together. I walk away with her as a constant reminder of the things that make uncomfortable and as an inspiration to approach them head on and with a new level of seriousness."

Kelly Ramon has been an integral part in helping me to consistently become a better executive. Over the past year, she has helped me to hone in on my strengths, recognize my development opportunities, and more effectively use my voice to make an impact in my organization. Kelly is more than a coach, she's a mind stimulator, a motivator, a counselor, and perhaps most important, she’s a valuable and trusted accountability partner. I’ll be forever thankful to Kelly for the positive influence she has had on my professional and personal life.

I have known John Ramons’ reputation within Emerson for a number of years and had the pleasure of working with him for the past couple of years. John clearly stands out as one of the best organizational and personal development leaders I have worked with in my 31 years at Emerson. His hard work, dedication, focus, and more importantly, his clear understanding of the business and individuals needs allows him to make outsized contributions to everything he touches.
