Break the Pattern:

Leap Forward
with Exceptional Leadership!

Mission

My Mission is to help manufacturing organizations accelerate growth by taking a leap forward in their leadership team performance, impact, and results.

In my leadership journey, I’ve witnessed and felt the ripple effects of both profound and poor leadership. I’ve reflected upon my own leadership’s evolution, recognizing its highs and lows. Over the past four decades, I’ve not only honed my leadership abilities but have been passionately dedicated to guiding others. My mission is to inspire individuals to magnify their leadership impact, fostering positive change for themselves, their teams, and their organizations. Together, we can take that transformative leap forward.

Leadership Journey

“Clear Intention is the
Foundation of all Success”

Mark Kinnich


Mark is a highly curious, fun-loving spirited guy who views life as a series of adventures to enjoy and learn from. From a cliff diving hobby in his early years to taking two-week motorcycle trips across the country with his wife Diane. This extends into his work with leaders and leadership teams where he makes improving business performance fun and lasting. Here is some of his story in his own words.

Leadership Journey

“High Performance Requires
Feedback Rich Environments”

Mark Kinnich


In my first jobs after graduating, I learned the value of transparency and courage. The value of hiring people more experienced than me to help create high performing teams that made huge business impact. And the continuing value of inviting in new perspectives to fuel small and large innovation. All these learnings drove my success as a leader.

  • Tom Rajewski
    President
    Chemtool

    Results: Accelerated rate of strategic change, significantly increasing speed of new product introduction

    Initially, I was skeptical of working with an executive coach for me or my direct reports. Having a history of being the President of multiple organizations and with many years of experience, I was certain I could work through whatever situation arose. However, I quickly found through my work with Mark that there was a real benefit to bringing in an outside individual to create the focus needed and affect change to create a true, strong team.

    I was particularly impressed with how Mark worked with long-tenured experienced leaders to transform how we viewed team and organizational effectiveness. He brings an unbiased approach to the dynamic and has a level of approachability and integrity that promotes a healthy learning environment. In addition to the actual time spent together, Mark left us comfortable with tools that would continue to enhance our team’s leadership capabilities going forward.

    I would be happy to provide a referral for Mark to work with you on your team’s effectiveness.

  • Frank Meiland
    CEO
    Wisconsin Screen Process

    Results: Resolved major functional fractures, accelerating decision making and increasing productivity impacting customer satisfaction, loyalty, and growth.

    Mark very quickly identified our key individual and team development needs. Our leadership team was already successful; however, they operated more as a group of functional leaders, requiring me, as President, to be the organizational integrator. The team continues to learn and apply more with Mark’s support from the follow-on coaching.  Mark earns my highest recommendation for your leadership team.   

    This is one investment for which I know the ROI is rock solid. We will continue to benefit as a team and as individuals throughout the balance of our careers as well as our personal lives. 

  • Deb Benning
    HR Executive
    ACE Metal Crafts

    Results: Enhanced strategic thinking and planning capability, accelerating leadership team decision making process and strategic growth.

    I really enjoyed our first leadership team session. Something clicked in me … the way you presented the process of strategic thinking…. suddenly made sense to me.


    The tactical and the operational are my quick go to. Elevating up to the strategic level of that situation is just another step, not some gaping blank or huge missing piece for me. Your concrete examples helped me bridge the gap.

  • Janice Chapman
    Sales Executive

    Results: transformational change on a divisive board leading to alignment on a long-term go-forward strategy that solidified the organization’s future.

    I have worked with many highly skilled facilitators/coaches/presenters and Mark is in a class of his own! Mark’s approach in providing insights into the journey the Board was embarking on, their responsibility to strive for transformation, coaching them as to the “how” this would be accomplished (active listening, meeting effectiveness, importance of emerging with one voice, etc.) was transformational for the group. At the outset I could see them leaning in and hanging on Mark’s every word as he set the scene for the 2-day meeting.
