FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Welcomed
Change and growth start with curiosity—and sometimes, that means asking questions.
We’ve created this FAQ page to answer the questions you might have as you consider leadership coaching, team coaching, or business consulting.
Whether it’s about our approach, process, or how we can help you grow as a leader or organization, we’re here to help.
Don’t see your question here? Let’s connect—because the best way to create impactful change is by starting a conversation.
humanKIND is a leadership + executive coaching and business consulting practice dedicated to helping leaders, executives, founders, and entrepreneurs grow courageously.
We specialize in working with those who are ready to lead with authenticity, navigate complex challenges, and create meaningful, sustainable impact—both personally and professionally.
We don’t do surface-level solutions. At humanKIND, we dig deep. We challenge you to confront hard truths, break free from old patterns, and lead with radical honesty and courage.
Our values-based approach is equal parts empowering and uncomfortable—because that’s where real growth happens.
We offer Leadership & Executive Coaching, Team Coaching, Business Coaching for entrepreneurs and founders, and Business Consulting focused on strategy, culture, and sustainable growth.
Whether you’re a leader looking to elevate your impact or a founder navigating the chaos of entrepreneurship, we’ve got you covered.
Our core values aren't just what we believe—they're how we work, connect, and help you create the changes you're ready to see in your life, your leadership, and the world.
1. Humanity
Growth is personal. We believe every leader, team, and organization has a unique story—and the best solutions start by honouring that. Leadership isn’t about titles or perfection; it’s about showing up fully human—flaws, fears, and all—and having the courage to keep going.
2. Radical Kindness
Kindness isn’t about being nice—it’s about being honest. Growth requires hard truths and brave conversations. We meet you where you are, challenge you from a place of respect, and hold you accountable to become the leader you’re capable of being.
3. Ownership
No one is coming to save you. Transformation begins when you take full responsibility for who you are, how you lead, and the choices you make. Ownership is where freedom lives—and it’s the foundation for authentic, sustainable growth.
4. Courageous Growth
Growth is messy, uncomfortable, and rarely convenient—but it’s always worth it. We believe the most meaningful breakthroughs happen when you lean into discomfort, challenge your assumptions, and take bold, imperfect action.
5. Walk That Talk (Integrity in Action)
We don’t just talk about values—we live them. Our work is grounded in authenticity, transparency, and a commitment to walk the same growth path we ask of our clients. What you see is what you get.
We work with leaders, executives, founders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers who are tire of following the status quo and ready to lead with truth, ownership, and connection.
Our ideal clients are:
Leaders looking to grow, navigating career transitions or rebuilding after a setback.
Entrepreneurs ready to take bold action on their ideas.
Founders looking for a partner to help them map out their vision and goals.
Teams striving for better collaboration, communication, and performance.
Organizations seeking growth strategies that align with their mission and values.
We meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or simply ready for the next chapter—and help you build a path forward that reflects your unique goals and aspirations.
