Your strategy is only as good as your team’s ability to execute it.

As certified coaches and management experts with 14 combined years of experience in progressive politics, we know that developing leaders is how we win elections, retain excellent talent, and make progress on the most critical challenges facing our country.

At Kinship Methods, we work with teams to develop values-driven, high performance cultures that produce results. We work with managers to embody three simultaneous spaces: that of a leader, a director, and a coach. Said another way, we develop managers to be highly competent in three critical management domains -  the why, the what, and the how of producing results. Our programs integrate all the best elements of intensive leadership development programs used in business and government spaces, but are designed to support the specific responsibilities of leaders in fast-paced, mission-driven work environments.

At Kinship Methods, three core values drive our work.

  • Integrity

    Integrity is the foundation of our success. We center results over appearance, we only work with clients we believe in, and we are accountable for what we do and say. We train and coach leaders to model integrity for their teams.

  • Honesty

    We deeply value honesty and directness - both in communication with our clients and as a leadership practice we teach. Even when it is difficult, we are committed to choosing directness, transparency, and honesty as coaches, trainers, and partners to our clients.

  • Excellence

    Above all else, we are committed to doing excellent work. We do not cut corners, we focus on solutions, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Our clients are doing the hard work to win elections, move the needle on important issues, and make the world a better place - they deserve our very best.
