“I cannot recommend this group enough. If you want the real deal in EQ and leadership development that isn’t run of the mill, you need to call them.”
Lindsey Kay
“The Krestyl Edge team was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and intentional in their approach to leadership development. They created a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing openly, reflecting, and engaging in meaningful conversations. This was our second time working with Krestyl Edge, and we have seen noticeable growth in our team as a result. What I appreciate most is that their training goes beyond the sessions themselves. The lessons and practical tools have carried over into our everyday work and have positively influenced our team culture. We truly value their partnership and the impact they’ve had on our team’s growth and development.”
Valeria Olave
“The session I attended on boundaries and feedback was exceptionally engaging and impactful. The presentation was very high quality in materials and delivery. In past leadership trainings I’ve been sent to put on by other organizations, I tend to zone out a fair amount, but the Kestryl Edge presentation was so well paced, it was well balanced with information and participation, that I had no issues with focus and I left with some key takeaways that I can immediately implement into my professional life. Thank you for the work you do!”

“I attended a 2 hour, virtual workshop on cultivating self-compassion as a means to improving my ability to lead. I LOVED IT! Super useful and actionable discussions and activities. Dan and Tessa offered science-backed (i.e. peer reviewed) evidence as to why emotionally intelligent leadership is valuable, AND then gave me a practical framework to define my main goal/direction and repeatable actions to get there. I found this to be transferable beyond self-compassion goals. For instance, I used the time in session to gain clarity on my goal of starting a personal career coaching business. The goal/habit framework they shared was developed by an Olympic athlete and overlaps with many of the principles I love from Clearean habit building practices. Dan and Tessa facilitated fun, lighthearted yet reflective discussion and sharing among all participants. The vibe was warm, welcoming, curious, motivating. Dan personally emailed me afterward about my goals, and it's clear that he's going to hold me accountable for the words I said. I would highly recommend Kestryl Edge to anyone with ambitious leadership goals who may not know what next steps would be most effective. Thanks again for the session! I feel motivated to chase down my goals with greater clarity than before engaging with Kestryl Edge! Onward and upward!”

“The instructors at Kestryl Edge, Daniel and Tessa are quite relatable and introduced me to some tools I had not come across before! Their approach to Self Care and other internal support tools we can utilize ourselves was eye-opening as well! I learned something about myself, and their prompts really brought out some very insightful ideas from the rest of the team on the call, allowing me to learn more about them! I highly recommend you give Kestryl Edge a try!”

“Engaging and unique! Wonderful content shared by wonderful people, you won't regret it!”
Ashley Benson
“So helpful! They helped me connect with my co-workers on another level and learn how we perceive what a great leader and bad leader is. What they teach and how they do it really sticks with you and improves the team. 10/10 would recommend.”

Industry context is not a marketing line.
When someone says "we have a safety culture problem" or "my shift leads won't escalate," we know what that looks like in practice.
Formal operating standards, error-prevention programs, crew resource management: none of these are abstractions to us. They're problems we understand, and the reason generic training so often talks around them.
Awareness without practice does not transfer.
Plenty of training creates awareness. People leave understanding something they did not understand before. That is not nothing, but it is not behavior change either. Behavior change requires practice under conditions that approximate the real situation, which means the session has to include hard, uncomfortable conversations, not just frameworks about why they are important.
We build that into the format because that is how the skills transfer to Monday morning when the shift lead actually has to give direct feedback to a 20-year veteran who outranks them in institutional knowledge.
We are honest about what we are not.
We do not do one-hour lunch-and-learns. We do not deliver the same curriculum twice. We are not the easy option. We work with a small number of clients at a time and we run a qualification conversation before confirming any engagement, because we only take work we are confident we can do well.
We won't run a session your leaders skip.
If any of that sounds like a bad fit for where you are right now, that is genuinely useful information. But if it sounds like the kind of rigor your team has been looking for, we should talk.
