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 2–3 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. have been trusted partners 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.
