Executive Coach | Leadership Trainer| Keynote Speaker
Over the last 21 years, C-level executives, officials in public office, best-selling authors, and businesspeople from almost every industry have benefited from Kendall Colman’s executive coaching programs. Now, with a clear need for organizations to work towards aggressive sustainability goals, she is making the shift to coach climate leaders across the globe.
Kendall was one of the original pioneers of leadership coaching in Colorado, and now is bringing her trailblazing spirit to coach climate leaders. Based on the idea that everyone is a leader, everyone too can be a Climate Leader.
Programs include training in high-stakes presentations, high impact teamwork and executive leadership, all based on a regenerative paradigm at heart.
Kendall has a proven record of building many companies person by person instead of helping only one person build one company. It is the combined ROI that has CEO’s saying “Kendall is a #1 Executive Coach for a reason”. Jerre Stead, former Chairman, IHS Markit and CEO of Clarivate, (CLVT).
She has prepared leading CEOs for presentations at the World Economic Forum (Davos, Switzerland), CES in Las Vegas, TEDx, Wall Street Investor Days and numerous earnings calls and town halls. She also has provided media preparedness training for clients who appear on national networks.
Kendall was a Finalist in 2016 for the Denver Outstanding Women in Business by Arrow Electronics and FirstBank, and in 2017 was a nominee for the same contest by FirstBank and IHS Markit.
Kendall is the Fundraising Lead with Ripple Project, who are building their first installation, Ripple, a station for the regeneration of native biodiversity and ecological knowledge in Nevada. The Ripple team recently won an international design award which has provided the initial funding to build the current prototype in the Nevada desert. She has assembled a team showcasing examples of self-powered (off-grid), carbon-negative land art installations.
She also teaches regularly at the National Renewable Energy Lab, Colorado Bar Association, National Association of Women Lawyers, University of Colorado at Boulder, ACG Leadership, and CSU Executive MBA.
In recent years, Kendall and her husband, adventure photographer R. Chris Clark, based out of Colorado, are living a minimalist life in their Airstream travel trailer.
They are developing, through their own trial and error, a way to track their carbon emissions to become carbon neutral and model for others.
This allows them to explore more of this amazing country, while being able to coach her clients. Chris, Kendall, and their sweet Malti-poo have documented, through imagery, 46 states and 27 countries to grab hold of everything life offers.
