Leadership is not about micromanagement or losing sleep over your team's performance.
It’s about creating a secure environment where people can be self-led to help you deliver the highest quality value to every stakeholder at every level.




However, it’s not easy & the journey is full of challenges:
You find yourself constantly immersed in a day-to-day micromanagement.
Your teams are not autonomously reaching their peak performance.
All available data shows your organization’s untapped potential for much greater success.
We understand.
That’s why we are here to help you create high-performing teams, enhancing their effectiveness and aligning them with your vision so you can easily focus on more strategic endeavors and move your organization forward.
Successful organizations with high-performing teams do not magically evolve, they are carefully designed
Our unique approach, refined over the years, involves a proven framework that enhances employee accountability immediately.
It helps you align their strengths with the right role and fuel their engagement.
As a result, this leads to seamless alignment with your vision and propels your organization towards success.


Once applied, our framework
becomes an integral part of your organization.

Testimonials

“Katherine Halpin brings value to any business application that involves working smarter and achieving superior results. I have worked with her in two different trade associations and she brought tremendous value to our team and our team building efforts.
I have found her to be incredibly intuitive about people and have witnessed her amazing results in helping people either step up or step out.
She also has an innate strategic sense and has helped our teams really focus on strategic issues instead of getting mired in tactical plans.
I highly recommend her for her Leadership Coaching for both individuals and organizations.”
Lisa McGreevy McGlynn

“The sessions that Katharine led for our department at Cancer Treatment Centers of America not only helped strengthen and grow our team, they also translated to all areas of my life.
You cannot be in her presence without being inspired to excellence through her presentation style, her energy and her knowledge.
She gently leads you through a series of self explorations that brings professional and personal growth.
One-on-one follow-up calls brought focus, grounding and insight that I still reflect on today.
Thank you Katharine for the important work you do to drive team alignment and strategy as well as personal reflection and growth. I strongly recommend any company or group to learn about the individual and group benefits you will find through coaching with Katharine Halpin."
Jennifer Kehren

“Katharine is an experienced business professional and coach. She helped me attain higher levels of performance personally and with my organization using her simple tools in a very short period of time. Katharine has kept me up to date through her alumni communications. I appreciate that the coaching did not end with the contract - it is truly a long term commitment from Katharine and value to me."
Lisa Schuldes

“When I first heard Katharine I thought, 'Wow! This is juicy stuff!' Her 8 tips for time management are dead on. She knows it's not just about managing time, but making time work for us. Love her approach, love her passion, and love her strategies!”
Layne Gneiting, PhD

"As a board member, I wanted to formally recognize Katharine’s leadership in pulling together a diverse group of 18 people in a multi-hour zoom meeting. The interactive strategic planning workshop she facilitated addressed complex territory including driving closure on several mission-critical decisions that will impact the sustainability of our organization. The very thorough preparatory work, setting clear expectations with a robust agenda and holding us accountable to action items contributed to us executing to plan. It was a pleasure to watch her Mississippi storytelling style in action; firm and assertive yet all our voices felt heard. Strategic facilitation - that’s her jamm."
Mary E. Maloney, FACHE

"I’ve been connected with Katharine for over 20-years. Katharine is a master facilitator, coach, speaker and trainer. We feel like family. Katharine gets the tough issues out on the table with grace and dignity. I highly recommend Katharine to anyone who wants to accelerate growth of their company."
Jonathan Keyser

"Our work together allowed me to use my own exit planning as an opportunity to grow the firm in all areas; scope of projects, revenue, profitability, number of staff, reputation, recognition and impact on our community.
Because of our focus on these important transitions, O|W will continue to be a force in the Valley. Our 37-year-old capital structure will remain intact. With the firms’ continuing to be owned by the principals, the 120 or so jobs, the profits, and our contribution to the community will all remain in Phoenix and continue to contribute to the local economy and environment."
Herman Orcutt, Retired Founder & Managing Partner Orcutt|Winslow Partnership

"As a friend, executive coach, and mentor to me and a number of members of my executive team, you have helped us get the right leaders and key executives in the right roles. We fully understand the value of our work with The Halpin Companies. We now have people in roles that are aligned with their strengths. You bring enthusiasm and energy to all of your endeavors."
Linda Hunt, Retired President & CEO

"With Katharine’s input, I’ve been able to be more strategic in where I’ve invested time and effort in terms of building relationships and team building, in particular."
Thomas Brown, MD
Former CEO, Swedish Cancer Institute
CMO, Syapse

“As a result of Katharine’s process, we were able to develop and prioritize specific, measurable goals that tied directly to our organizational goals and objectives. The goals were then tied to specific initiatives with timelines established. Each of the goals included accountabilities by each department as well as an individual to lead each goal.
In addition to helping us establish and prioritize our goals, Katharine assisted with personal development plans for the staff – helping identify the skills contained by key employees and gaps in skills/training needed, employees who appeared to be in the incorrect roles, and high-potential employees. She helped us get the right people in the right roles.”
K. Sue Redman, Founder & CEO, Redman Associates
Former CFO, Texas A&M University

"Katharine Halpin has served as my Executive Coach, Facilitator and Mentor since 2016. Not only has Katharine helped me build an aligned team with the right people in the right roles based on their strengths, but she has also helped me strategize how to bring out the best in others. I've used The Halpin Method with our senior executives, my peers, and my own team members. By bringing out the best in others consistently, more alignment gets built, and more win/win/win results are achieved."
Molly Stockley, National Senior VP, Hospital Growth, City of Hope, formerly Cancer Treatment Centers of America

“We have laid a very strong foundation for the future so that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona will continue to succeed. Thank you for the behind-the-scenes role you have played in our ongoing success.”
Richard L. Boals, Retired former CEO, BCBS of Arizona

“Your ability to help us get to the root cause of our ‘challenge of the day’, to see patterns and trends and to help us articulate the growth opportunities for us as individual leaders and as an organization is incomparable. As someone who knows our company inside and out, I’m confident we will utilize your services again in the future. In the interim, we hope to help spread the word about the tremendous value of your outside perspective and affirming approach. You truly are a team alignment expert.”
David Gentile, Retired, Former President & CEO, BCBS of Kansas City

"Katharine taught me how to communicate my expectations to my staff in a positive and clear manner. Understanding my expectations gave my employees an opportunity to either “buy in or opt-out”. Through Katharine’s guidance and the clarity and honesty in communications skills we learned our company has tripled our revenues."
Eric McDowell, Founding Principal and CEO, The McDowell Group, Juneau, Alaska

“Katharine helped me communicate much more clearly and effectively, be a better listener, and gain the ability to lead and manage within our organization as well as within our region, even in volatile environments.”
Valerie Manning, Retired, CEO, Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce

“Our work with Katharine Halpin has truly been transformational. After bringing my leadership team to Phoenix for her 2-day seminar on Expanding the Capacity of our Human Capital, we realized a 30% increase in productivity and job satisfaction within two weeks of the seminar for key players in our organization who did not even attend the seminar.”
Steve Bartlett, Former CEO, Financial Services Roundtable, Washington, DC

“Prior to working with you, I was working hard and working “smart”- or so I thought.
Although I was satisfied with my professional achievements, the pace of my career was taking its toll.
Now, after a year of executive coaching with you, I find myself creating these same results without the same time-consuming, excruciating effort. I have learned better leadership, communication, and delegation skills.
Thanks to you, Katharine, my teams are stronger because I learned to communicate my expectations more effectively. Key team members have enjoyed the opportunity to contribute and be recognized for their contributions.”
John Buchanan, Retired, US Tax Managing Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers

“When I engaged you I was experiencing a high degree of frustration. More importantly, our company’s success was taking a personal toll on my peace of mind. I was bordering on burnout. Like every leader in a company of a certain size and complexity, I had a million action items that all required my direct involvement & intervention. After working with you for only 60 days I am pleased to report that my company has experienced record profitability and productivity over these two months. Additionally, all my key players have demonstrated more initiative, competence and commitment to our company’s success.”
Tim Kinney, President, KCS - Kinney Construction Services, Flagstaff, AZ
