What people are saying.

“It has been a joy to work with Kai’s infectious energy, endless toolbox of skills, and genuine love for what he does. He brings a sense of adventure and curiosity teamed with intention and care for each and every person he works with. Kai is the type of person that knows what someone is capable of, before they may know it themselves. His coaching and expertise in the field have helped me develop into a successful and confident field guide!”

— Tara Pozzi
Current Field Specialist and former Lead Guide at Bluefire Wilderness Therapy

“Kai has a way of identifying areas of of potential growth that can often fly under the radar. A skilled leader and intuitive mentor, Kai thrives in a mentorship role, and excels in maintaining the delicate balance of helping clients identify their work while empowering them to do it themselves. This is one of the many ways he helps his clients to create lasting change.”

— Meredith Weisman
Former field guide at Evoke - Cascades

“Kai was extremely helpful in coaching me for my career path. He was very sociable and laid back, and talked from experience about the questions I had. I found it very easy to talk to him and we both shared a lot of our stories and experiences and related them back to our goals in the outdoor industry. He made really good recommendations and gave me documents and things to research to help further my learning. I feel that I have a much clearer path to follow to obtain my goals in the outdoor industry now. I would highly recommend him to others looking for coaching!"

“I have had the pleasure of working with and seeing Kai’s ability to interact with clients and staff in a high stress, youth mental health and addiction treatment program. While working with Kai, I was shown his compassionate approach to understanding individuals and then witnessing Kai coaching them to meet their goals and aspirations. With Kai’s understanding of systems and population needs, I have also collaborated with him on developing and training staff through evidence based best practices. Kai has taught and educated me with his knowledge of professional development that I continue to incorporate into my career today. Kai’s knowledge and experiences have led him to objectively assessing and applying his skills. I highly recommend Kai if you are looking to work with him as an individual for coaching, or for consulting and organizational development.”

"Kai and I have worked together at multiple therapeutic programs and throughout our work together we have achieved many goals and overcome various challenges.  He is a man of dedication, compassion, and honesty, who brings his heart and mind to all that he does.  Somebody you can count on, in any situation. Anyone who spends time with Kai will not only learn, laugh and grow with him (as I have), but will find an authentic connection with someone who truly cares about their journey through this life.”
