As a dynamic and highly accomplished professional, with a unique blend of skills, I stand out as an effective leader, known for my critical problem-solving abilities, strategic mindset, and exceptional interpersonal ease.
My professional background includes stints at The Howard Hughes Corporation, PulteGroup, Caprock – a boutique multi-family office, and Blue360 Media as its chief operating officer. My eclectic career began in the university classroom as an adjunct Spanish professor. In fact, if you had asked me all those years ago to picture my future self, the only thing I may have gotten right was that I would be living in the mountains, skiing in the winter and biking in the summer!
I hold a master’s degree in Latin American Political Economy and an MBA in International Management. You can find me at john@personalysis.com.
Living in Park City, Utah means that the mountains are always calling! The downside? The true number of skis and bikes that should populate my quiver will always be N+1.
Coach, executive consultant, education and organizational development specialist, facilitator, coaching supervisor, mediation.
As a leader, I know that great leadership relies on the ability to develop others and create a sustainable culture of powerful teamwork. The passion I have for the care of others is shared by the entire Personalysis family. United in purpose, our team aspires to excellence in customer service.
As an executive coach, I leverage 40+ years of experience empowering leaders, emerging leaders and teams toward operational excellence through effective working relationships. Research shows that teams comprised of diverse thinking and social styles as well as interests are more productive, creative and return a higher quality of work. I am most proud of my success in helping people learn to understand, appreciate and ultimately value differences in personality style so they can work together better.
In my experience self-awareness is a critical success factor in any endeavor. I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Personalysis assessment to assist people to identify the behaviors they use to be their best self. With this awareness, a person can begin to assess their impact on others and notice style differences. It is very rewarding to guide people as they learn how to build relationships that leverage strengths, empower differences and become greater in their togetherness. This is especially effective when working with hybrid and remote teams.
I hold a M.Ed. in Adult Education from North Carolina State University and a BA from the University of Minnesota. I am certified in Coaching Supervision from CSA UK, Crucial Conversation, mediation and facilitation.
I enjoy travel especially when focused on historical sites. I am an avid reader with a universal taste which includes science, history, biography, social sciences, religion & spirituality, classics, historical fiction, and steampunk!
I originally aspired to a career in theater.
Executive coaching, career transitions, inspirational leadership, and becoming a certified Personalysis practitioner.
My career has provided me with opportunities to develop specialized expertise in change management, executive development, periods of rapid growth, and leading during an economic downturn. I have over 20 years of management and leadership experience, primarily within global financial service organizations and took my Personalysis Profile in 2012.
As a Certified Coach and Master Personalysis Practitioner, I help individuals improve interpersonal effectiveness and make progress on their goals. Seeing clients understand themselves better and grow in their capabilities is extremely rewarding. One of my favorite quotes is by John C. Maxwell: “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.”
Coach and executive consultant specializing in teamwork, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness.
I bring nearly 20 years of experience leading teams and multi-million-dollar global operations projects for Fortune 500 companies. I completed an Operations Leadership Program and worked in several organizational settings including overseas expat assignments. I’ve always been curious about understanding human behaviors and motivators. At Personalysis, I have a chance to combine my comprehensive understanding of organizational challenges with my passion for personal development and assisting leaders and teams in learning how to use their natural strengths and behaviors to achieve their personal and professional goals.
I’m most proud of the impact my work makes on helping people to become more aware of themselves and others around them. I believe that self-awareness is key to any change in life. It allows us to build and cultivate more authentic relationships and embrace more powerful and impactful leadership style. I enjoy seeing our clients harnessing the power of self-awareness to transform their relationships and to work better together.
I hold a MS in Organizational Communication from CCSU, CT, a MA in Coaching from Maryland University of Integrative Health, MD and a MA in Political Science from UKSW in Warsaw, Poland.
I take every opportunity to spend family time in nature. I love the sound and smell of the ocean, being on my paddleboard in the middle of the lake, growing vegetables in my garden or simply having a morning cup of coffee and quiet meditation time outside.

Master Facilitator and Organizational Development Specialist
I bring 20+ years of experience from academia and corporate sectors. I am most proud of my success in coaching teams and individuals for continual progress and optimal growth. In addition, I have designed programs, workshops, and support materials to meet specific needs in both face-to-face and virtual environments.

My customer service expertise focuses on customizing client solutions for improvement and sustainability based upon in-depth needs analysis.
I am most passionate about having an impact on others’ achievements, assisting in their ability to be their best self. My work at Personalysis has aligned beautifully with this, as the assessment is so rich and valuable. I continue to learn more about myself and others each time I interact with a profile. I call it the gift that keeps on giving! At this time in my career, I am most interested in using the assessment for team and executive leadership development.
The team here at Personalysis is like family. Everyone, I believe, has the same values and vision – helping people grow by becoming self-aware, as well as understanding and valuing our differences, to be the best version of self.
I love being at the beach late in the day, watching beautiful sunsets; I enjoy shopping of any kind and can last the entire day. I also love spending time with my six grandkids; Dancing is my favorite form of exercise and stress reliever.
I spent a month in the Philippines onboarding newly acquired employees. I also took Tango lessons in Buenos Aires!

My professional journey is marked by a strong commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation in diverse sectors from small and midsize entrepreneurial business to non-profits. The skills developed by launching my own startup has been an invaluable experience that I carry forward in all my work.

At Personalysis, I am responsible for aligning our operations, financial and human resources to deliver the highest quality professional services for our clients. My assessment was spot on by saying “for Kécia, bringing about change and being devoted to growth and expansion come naturally,” and truly bring me joy.
I earned an MBA from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University with a concentration in Entrepreneurship, and a BA in Media Arts from the University of North Texas. I hold certificates in Dare to Lead and Asset-based Community Development.
I enjoy discovering new places with the spirit of a pilgrim. Hiking is one of my favorite activities. The individuals I encounter on my travels are incredibly hospitable. It’s a joy to share meals with them and learn about their life and culture, which inevitably leads to sharing recipes to try when I return home!
I completed a three-week solo hike on the Camino del Norte along the northern coast of Spain and on to the Atlantic Ocean. Sometimes it’s not what you learn on pilgrimage that’s important, but what you unlearn.
