Dr. Kappel has been an amazing coach! I have grown in ways that I did not anticipate over the last 9 months from changing my mindset, acting and operating in more authentic ways. Speaking truth to power to believing in myself and possibilities in the future. She is excellent at asking questions and getting you to arrive to these new skills on your own and this has been incredibly effective and a great model for me to use when coaching and mentoring my team. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Dr. G. Sr. Director Stanford University I enjoyed learning from my coach Dr. Kappel to define and better understand some concepts and I appreciate the balance between her educating then discussing together my thoughts on the topic and relevant experiences. I gained helpful insights through our discussion to take the leadership behavior as an individual contributor into my new role of leading a team. Through her guidance I was able to look at my new role with confidence to lead from a strong place.

I knew during my first session Dr. Kappel was the right choice.  Dr Kappel was compassionate, friendly, and very helpful throughout each of my sessions.  Dr Kappel’s feedback and subject knowledge allowed me to implement several concepts and leadership actions that I now utilize on a daily or weekly basis.  Thank you Dr Kappel for helping me put leadership ideas and thoughts into action.

I had a great experience with Dr. Kappel throughout my 6-month coaching/leadership development program. She provided a unique perspective and was attentive to my areas of opportunity. What was especially refreshing was her emphasis on emotional intelligence, personal branding, and self-care. If you are a leader who is open to taking an honest look inward, gaining self-awareness, and increasing your impact/empathy, I would highly recommend working with Dr. Kappel.

A coach is someone who helps you to dive deeper inside yourself and show who you are.

Someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring that out of you

Fortunate to have had Dr. Ann Kappel as my Coach, the 3 months journey with her has been transformational.

Ann Marie Kappel was my coach during a short, but very powerful coaching session (+/- 2 months). Her advice has given me the opportunity to take a fresh look at my management style and impact. I have been able to implement a number of different strategies that I think will help not just me manage my teams, but also help the managers that report to me manage their teams more effectively. In addition to that, it has helped me to collaborate better with my peers and deploy the company's strategy in a much more effective way. Furthermore, the sessions were fun!

Dr. Ann Marie Kappel has been the most transformative and innovative c-suite coach I have worked with. She gives thoughtful and insightful advice, helps set achievable benchmarks and understands the nuances of corporate culture to acquire measurable results quickly. Her approach is firm, positive and supportive while demonstrating an infectious level of grace and poise. During our time together she coached me through managing ambiguity, achieving high results and gave me tools that transcend my emotions intelligence acumen in both my professional and personal life. While working with Dr. Kappel, I was promoted twice within 6 months. The sessions with her were the best investment I have made in my career development. I highly recommend her expertise.

Dr. Kappel's coaching is both clear and motivating; she genuinely cares about her clients and employs creative strategies to offer valuable insights.
