Strategic Leadership Coaching

Strategic Leadership Coaching for Women Who Lead Where the Stakes Are High

This is one-on-one and small-cohort strategic leadership coaching for women who carry real responsibility: national mandates, P&L, regulation, security, infrastructure, and people’s livelihoods. Led by Colonel Kimberly Boyd, U.S. Army (Retired)—a former commander of multi-billion-dollar global operations, MBA in Strategic Leadership, MS in Strategic Studies—this coaching is grounded in high-stakes execution, not pop-psychology. It is designed for women who want to think, decide, and operate at a higher level—and are ready to be held to that standard.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Group of six diverse professional women walking in a modern office building, dressed in business suits.

  • Top-Level & C-Suite Leaders: Director Generals, Executive Directors, CEOs, VPs, Commanders,

  • Senior Advisors: who must align teams, policy, budgets, and national or enterprise priorities.

  • Middle Management & Emerging Senior Leaders Department heads, division chiefs, program managers, senior officers responsible for turning strategy into executable plans across agencies or business units.

  • First-Line & High-Potential Leaders: Supervisors, section leaders, project leads, military officers and specialists being groomed for accelerated responsibility and promotion.

This coaching is for women who are already in the arena—or are being positioned to step into it.

This is a women-only coaching environment. Sessions are delivered in person across the GCC, with hybrid Zoom for distributed teams and leaders outside the GCC who require access to this level of rigor.

Your Coach Has Led What Others Only Theorize About.

Colonel Kimberly Boyd is not repackaging leadership buzzwords.

She has proof:

  • Created a historic U.S. Army training exercise that reshaped how an $89B contingency contracting enterprise was executed.

  • Operated in combat, disaster relief, and multinational environments where indecision costs lives and failure is not theoretical.

  • Earned an MBA in Strategic Leadership from the University of Tennessee and an MS in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, aligning academic rigor with battlefield-tested judgment.

  • Served as a senior civilian advisor impacting the readiness of tens of thousands of personnel.

  • Founded CKB Leadership Consulting and the Boss Women Warriors Leadership Development Program, focused on turning women’s leadership pipelines into strategic assets for organizations.

If you want a coach who understands top-cover, board governance, national strategy, risk assessment, and real pressure—you’re in the right place.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY

We Teach You How to Think Strategically, Not What to Think.

  • Think in campaigns, not tasks.

  • Read complex political, operational, and organizational landscapes.

  • Make decisions when information is incomplete and visibility is low.

  • Hold your ground in male-dominated rooms without softening your standards or your impact.

This coaching rejects surface-level empowerment and motivational clichés. You will be challenged to:

Every session links directly to your mission, your mandate, and the outcomes you are accountable for.

The goal is simple: turn you into the strategic leader people rely on when it matters. This approach is aligned with CKB’s core promise: transforming women’s leadership pipelines into a measurable strategic advantage—not a checkbox.

OUR APPROACH

Our consultative approach enables us to design accelerated leadership solutions that enhance organizational performance.

Step 1

WE LISTEN

A silver king chess piece surrounded by nine gold pawns on a dark textured surface.

Assessment

Each partnership begins with a series of conversations to help us understand your needs and objectives. We define your operating environment: role, mandate, stakeholders, risks, cultural parameters, and expectations. This becomes your Leadership Mission Order.

Step 2

DESIGN

Gold chess pieces, with a knight in focus on a black and white chessboard, facing an array of other pieces in the background, against a textured gray backdrop.

Strategic Labs

We create dynamic training content specifically for you. You work through real and simulated scenarios (boardroom confrontations, media scrutiny, cross-agency conflict, crisis events, internal resistance) drawn from global operations and  realities.

Step 3

TRAIN

Gold and silver chess pieces arranged on a black and white checkered chessboard.

Decision Frameworks 

You learn disciplined decision making tools—no jargon—so you can quickly assess options, anticipate second-order effects, and move with clarity.

Step 4

TRANSFORM

War Room Thinking 

You apply “war room” style planning to your real portfolio: policy, regulations, transformation projects, and national initiatives.

Step 5

SUSTAIN

Measurable Outcomes

We continually assess your program to ensure maximum learning impact. Every engagement ties to concrete outcomes: promotions, expanded portfolios, reduced turnover, stronger stakeholder trust, accelerated delivery on strategic initiatives.
