“Kendall is a delightfully creative businessperson capable of adding true value to each task with which she becomes involved. She easily grasps the complex issues which might confront today’s corporate executives. Kendall is totally honest and forthright with her advice and analysis of a consulting project. Her genuine enthusiasm is infectious, fun-loving and productive. I would recommend Kendall without reservation for any business engagement which might fall under the broad umbrella of her experience and expertise.”


– Craigs Fales
Senior Vice President, UMB Bank
“I worked with Kendall during the time we were both employed at Colorado Access. Kendall is an intelligent and creative individual who excelled in her work there. She has a strong value system, meeting commitments, is accountable, is respectful of everyone and is in turn respected by others. She is enthusiastic, passionate and energizing with a can-do attitude. She is a team player and others know they can go to her for guidance. She continuously learns and develops herself and mentors others who wish to do the same. She is willing to take risks and is a survivor in the face of those obstacles that life tends to throw our way. I learned from Kendall and very much enjoyed working with her.”
– Bev Long
CEO, Western Nephrology
“We have worked with Kendall for several years and with a number of our senior executives. We originally engaged Kendall to help our CEO improve as a speaker. Kendall worked with him on defining his key messages and how to focus on the delivery and helped him significantly improve as a speaker and leader. Most recently we had Kendall help coach our executives in preparation for our annual Investor Day meeting. Kendall worked with our 5 top senior executives (Chairman, President, CTO, 2 Business Line Leaders) again on defining their key messages, streamlining their presentations, focusing on the audience, facial and hand expressions, etc. The result was one of our best Investor Day meetings ever as the presentations were crisp, on point and delivered in a timely manner that held the audience’s attention. Kendall also has worked with a former CEO on his TV/media interviews and we saw significant improvement there, too. Using similar points to presentation delivery, she helped him focus on his key messages, make appropriate eye contact and body language, practice how to handle difficult questions and move back to his talking points. The results were excellent as the CEO went on to be an even more effective spokesperson and even did a 2-hour executive hosting stint on CNBC Europe. So we are extremely happy with the support provided by Kendall and Total Coaching Systems.”

Senior VP-Corporate Marketing & Communications

MEDIA TRAINING CLIENTS

“Kendall and her top-notch team at Total Coaching Systems are taking Arrow Electronics’ executives to the next level with their presentation and media skills. After just a few months
of having Kendall and her team on board, our Colman-coached Arrow execs are already nailing high-profile presentations and key media interviews. Arrow is Colorado’s largest company and
a global player in the technology industry, so it’s critical that we have a well-coached bench of executives able to carry our brand message to internal and external stakeholders.
It’s fantastic to have a coach of Kendall’s caliber to work with right here in Denver. As a former media and presentation coach myself, I know excellence when I see it—and, Kendall is at the top of her game.”
