Eva Benesova

I feel like butter, thinly spread across a large slice of bread,” said one of my clients during our first meeting. I must underscore that this client appeared successful in all observable aspects: career, personal life, family, parenting, and relationships—and at first glance, appeared content. He had all he could ask for, his life goals fulfilled in just 42 years, and it seemed he could not complain about anything. Except for an inner feeling that brought him to me.

Dr. Keith Stephenson

KSLC was founded by Dr. Keith Stephenson – an educator who, for over 21 years, has dedicated his life to improving the educational experience for students. With the unique track record of serving as a “turnaround school leader” of both charter and public schools, he has effectively led elementary, middle and high schools.

In each of his leadership roles, Dr. Stephenson has transformed troubled schools into high-performing learning environments. Believing that the principal plays the most critical role in the success of a school, Dr. Stephenson has worked closely with both principals and charter school boards in states across the country. Through his company, he works to transform every principal into a high-performing school leader. Dr. Stephenson is looking to reform our educational system by transforming one leader at a time.

Kim Wood

I’m an International Coach Federation certified coach with 20 years’ leadership experience in health and community services based in Melbourne, Australia. I’m a passionate supporter of new and aspiring leaders and managers committed to positive change in their workplace and community.

I love to work with people who want to see a change in the world and who are doing something about it – in their work, their community, their life. I believe you can change the world and have fun at the same time! I’ve found that many people underestimate the power of their own inner resources – their innate strength and wisdom. I help people to call on these resources (and develop new ones) to establish a strong, values-based foundation for life and leadership.
