What Attendees are Saying
“It's always a pleasure to learn from Kyle Shaffer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His ability to engage participants is exceptional—he brings energy, warmth, and a genuine enthusiasm that creates a fun and inclusive learning environment. What truly stands out is his deep knowledge and use of real-life scenarios that makes the content relevant and immediately applicable. He doesn’t just talk theory; He provides practical tools and strategies that our team can (and will!) use in our day-to-day work. The sessions are a perfect blend of insight, interaction, and real-world utility. I would complete this entire series again and again as Kyle is truly an experienced professional who knows how to inspire and empower a group. He's living in this superpower and it shows.”
- Stephanie Harris, Director of Talent, KIPP St. Louis Public Schools
“I had the incredible opportunity to participate in this transformative series. These workshops provided a unique space for intentional reflection, thoughtful discussion, and practical application that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this Leading People cohort series to anyone seeking to enhance their leadership skills, make a meaningful impact, and become a people-centered leader who wants to create positive change. The experience is not just educational; it's a journey towards personal and professional growth that I am truly grateful for.”
- Darla Krause, Director of Student Support Services, North Side Community School
“Kyle worked with us to design and facilitate two sessions on supportive accountability during our annual, 3-day all-staff retreat: one for the whole staff and one just for our people managers. The sessions were highly customized to our company and goals, and very practical and engaging. He managed to keep the energy up (and everyone engaged!) even at 4 pm after an already long day. In our post-retreat survey, multiple staff said that Kyle's session was their favorite part - here are a few quotes:
“I learned quite a bit and thought Kyle was the best trainer I have seen yet,”
“I loved Shaffer's two sessions on accountability- they were appropriately bite-sized and actionable. I also really liked how the ‘all team’ session then directly led into the ‘managers only’ session.”
“Kyle's session didn't feel like work.”
Importantly, after the retreat, our staff still bring up and think about the concepts and language Kyle introduced. This wasn't just a one-and-done training, but rather, it has helped us tweak how we think about accountability company-wide, which is exactly what we were looking for.”
- Natalia Bovkun, Ed Ops, COO
