We were lucky to catch up with Kyle Plett recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Kyle thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

My mission is simple to help people define their goals and the steps it takes to accomplish them. Once they are set we work together to stay on target to the steps it takes to get there. Celebrating our wins and unpacking our learning opportunities.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

I’ve been in the People Leadership arena for many years and the more I worked in Recruiting, Human Resources and Youth development programing I kept coming back to one skillset that I was deploying across it all which was coaching. So I began to dive in to learning more about coaching learning from John Maxwell, Tony Robbins and others while getting both Life Coaching certifications, Society of Human Resources – Senior Certified Professional, EMBA and many other certifications that have given me tangible tools I deploy with clients and my employer.

Currently you can follow my thoughts and my outdoor adventures on linked in for inspiration and maybe just a challenge to your thinking for your day if you aren’t quite ready for a full coaching experience.

I’m most proud of seeing the awesome growth in many of my clients as they define their goals and really begin to prioritize their lives around these bigger life missions we create together.

What else should we know about how you took your side hustle and scaled it up into what it is today?

I really focused on building a side hustle based on some of the skills I used everyday in my career. I have continued my career in People and Culture (HR) while working on a more focused way as a Life Coach to really be able to bring priority to a person’s whole life growth which sometimes is harder confined by policies, procedures, budgets, head count etc that comes with career focused coaching. It’s freeing to just dig in and really make an impact around relationships, contributions, growth, family while also looking at career, entrepreneurial endeavors which we also tackle.

Sometimes clients don’t realize how interconnected they are and while they think their frustration is with work it might be because they haven’t prioritized another area of life that they need to reconnect with. Redefining our priorities and then build a plan to stay on target with them is part of that process.

Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?

The biggest advice for maintaining high morale with a team is engagement. You have to be engaged with your team. That means working side by side saying “Let’s do this!”. That builds trust and also allows you to see hands on the work and set expectations. Even more important is building a weekly cadence of checking in. Knowing what’s happening being available to solve problems together.

If you haven’t spent the time doing it together you can’t know the unique ways your team needs support to solve problems. I am not a fan of the saying “don’t come to me with problems” as a leader you are there to help your team overcome problems. Sometimes that’s coaching them how to do it themselves others it’s walking side by side as a mentor and giving them tools to use to solve the problem. Without those check ins, without the bank of trust built through working as a team it’s makes it impossible to support your team with the individual needs they have.
