ML293: Caren Kenney (CEO of Evolve Leadership)

by | May 12, 2023 | Author, CEO, Coach, Leadership | 0 comments

Leaders today have more resources, training, and support than they have ever had in history, yet leadership failures, dismissals and resignations are at an all-time high. Likewise, employees are receiving more benefits, resources, and flexibility than they’ve ever had before yet we are seeing alarming rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues among employees, and many are quitting their jobs with an attitude that it’s just not worth it.

For years Caren Kenney, CEO of Evolve Leadership, C-suite executive coach, and former Executive Director at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, has recognized the link between mental and physical wellbeing and leadership and human performance. Her work in this area began in 2001 as the co-founder of a company that developed the world’s first direct-to-consumer digital behavioral health coaching programs – which were ultimately acquired by Johnson & Johnson.

Six years ago, Caren led the creation of the world’s first whole-person, whole-life C-suite executive coaching and development programs and today leads a global team of executive coaches, physiologists, dietitians and other leadership and human performance experts who are training leaders, teams and organization to develop higher levels of physical wellbeing, mental and emotional resilience, and character-centered leadership – which she sees as the key to developing strong, sustainable leaders who will thrive in all areas of their lives.

by | May 1, 2023 | CEO, Coach, Leadership | 0 comments

 Sara Sabin calls herself a Career Chameleon. After nearly 10 years in the corporate world, she left for good in 2016.  After leaving, she became the founder of two start-ups (one successful, one not), where she learned about the importance of great leadership the hard way through mistakes, successes, and trials. Since leaving the start-up world, she has built a multi six figure coaching practice, working with successful leaders and entrepreneurs of high-growth 6 and 7 figure businesses. She believes that a new type of leader is necessary for businesses to achieve long term sustainability, in an exponentially changing business world. Being technically brilliant is only the start. Balanced leadership is a delicate dance. For a leader to be truly successful, they have to understand how to motivate, inspire and push people to achieve more than they ever thought possible and approach business growth and challenges in a strategic, focused way, so that they become more influential, and effective, ultimately increasing their impact.

Sara also writes regularly for Entrepreneur Magazine, as part of their Leadership Network, and The Fast Company and is a regular guest podcast speaker.
