The
Swivel
story
KKL & Co. has spent the last decade teaching managers the craft of leadership (building on founder Kimberly Kleiman-Lee’s 20 years before that). Like many firms, we ran two to three day workshops - high energy in the room, but once the binders closed, real change stalled. Clients and their managers deserved better.
Paying homage to our mascot, the office chair, Swivel offers smaller, action-ready learning doses, in a supportive community, with live group coaching and dozens of downloadable tools that turn good intentions into measurable results. Managers learn to prioritize their learning, be accountable for their own skill growth, and demonstrate new found confidence as a result.
KKL & Co. has been a trusted partner in our leadership development journey for nearly four years. When Kimberly introduced us to the Swivel concept and proposed piloting the program with 25 of our people leaders, it was an easy “yes.” Halfway through the 12-week Swivel pilot, we knew we’d found something special - we expanded immediately, purchasing 100 additional seats.
The program delivers the full package: it equips our leaders not only with the practical tools and frameworks to lead effectively, but also with the mindset and heart it takes to inspire and support their teams. Swivel has become an essential part of how we grow our leaders, and it’s already secured a spot in our 2026 Leadership Development plan.
The Armchair Coach (affectionately known as the “AC”) is a leader from your organization who curates the Swivel learning experience. Because your AC already understands your culture, priorities, and people, they can connect Swivel’s content to the real-world expectations and challenges your managers face. They lead weekly Community Calls, create space for meaningful reflection and conversation, and help participants turn learning into action.

I learned to be more intentional with how I delegated tasks according to what my team’s strengths were and what areas they wanted to grow in. My confidence has grown significantly.
It’s ok to manage people differently based on their personality traits and work skills.
Being able to understand all sides of a situation and think more critically has been a big area where I have seen my leadership skills improve.
A great guidance to growing as a leader.
Swivel has been an incredibly valuable learning experience. It provides practical tools and strategies that help managers improve their leadership skills and develop their teams effectively. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their ability to lead and support employees.
The Swivel program gave me a practical framework to strengthen my role as a leader, directly supporting my goal of fostering a collaborative, high-performing team. The situational leadership feedback offered clear, unbiased insights that are helping me grow as a trusted and supportive leader. I also really valued the chance to connect with colleagues across departments and gain a broader perspective.
Swivel is exceptionally well-structured and thoughtfully designed. Its systematic approach and practical applications make it highly effective and relevant. I highly recommended it!
The Swivel program was very valuable. The breakout sessions were very helpful. Sharing experiences with each other was also very valuable.
Best leadership program I have taken throughout my 40yr career! For me one of the most valuable asset in the Swivel Program was having an armchair coach to ask questions about current management issues and getting coached on how to properly handle them. All people leaders should be required to take this course.
Swivel is a great tool for leaders to adapt in the new world were living in and also change their approach on certain topics. It has given me the ability to discuss and guide my team through times of change. I gave me the opportunity to improve my leadership skills, coaching skills, and mentoring skills. I can better support the change happening within our organization and industry.
Most of the topics covered in Swivel are not foreign to the type of employees the program attracts. I think what Swivel does well is to hone in on the importance of these topics and deep-dive into the importance of leadership across these topics. Leadership is not something to be taken for granted, and the way you lead has a major role in the quality of your team, and your organization.
Keep on the move, and open your eyes and your ears, and watch, learn and change for better.
The Swivel leadership program has been a transformative experience, significantly enhancing my leadership skills and professional growth. The program's practical approach, including interactive workshops and hands-on projects, has equipped me with the tools to excel in my role. The mentorship from experienced leaders and the collaborative environment have been invaluable, providing personalized feedback and a strong professional network. I highly recommend the Swivel leadership program to anyone looking to elevate their leadership capabilities and make a meaningful impact in their career.
I came into this Swivel training with no prior leadership training. I was blown away by how practical, insightful, and empowering the content was. The training not only gave me the tools to lead effectively, but also the confidence to apply them right away. I've learned how to communicate more clearly, manage conflict, and motivate my team in ways I never thought possible. This program has truly transformed the way I see myself as a leader. I can't recommend it enough!
Swivel gave me tools and confidence to move into the next level of my career. Reaching the goals of the leader I want to become, helping my peers and team members be successful in their roles. I often wondered some of the decisions I should take and/or would this benefit them in a positive way, I don't have to wonder anymore. Looking forward to being a top leader that will inspire, help others grow in our fast-paced environment.
Swivel will make you realize that there are 50 different ways to be a manager. You need to read and digest every page, because there are nuggets everywhere.
Swivel was a great program to both teach this old dog some new tricks and reinforce the mangerial learnings of my 40 years in industry. The content is current and relevent is a great stepping stone regardless of your managerial level.
KKL is practical, thoughtful, and her coaching changed the way I interact with my employees. Thank you!
It's solid and practical advice on how to become a better manager/leader. I'm sure many people think this is intuitive but when you get into it you see that that's not necessarily the case.
