Team Wellness Building + Coaching

If you are looking for assistance or support in your efforts of Capacity-Building, Strategic Planning, Coalition Work, Staff and Program Development, or Grant Writing I strongly recommend Kyvaughn Henry, Founder and Senior Consultant of KH-MPH Consulting, LLC.

I have been a mentor for Kyvaughn and have been blessed to be part of her entrepreneurial journey. At our first meeting, before she started her business, I was immediately struck by her enthusiasm, energy and “get it done” attitude. I learned quickly that she was knowledgeable, a great communicator, and passionate about her ability to help others achieve their goals.

I have since learned from her clients that Kyvaughn is not only knowledgeable in her field but also brings a professional and collaborative approach to problem solving. Her innovative solutions, a result of her experience and strategic thinking, contribute to the ability of her clients to reach their objectives in a cost-effective manner.”
Mentor (Endorsement)

“Kyvaughn is a master at increasing energy when it wanes a little and has a gift for making everyone in the room feel heard and valued!”
Staff Participant (Service: Team Wellness Building Retreat)

“Kyvaughn is able to distill the busy, hectic noise that work brings down to one note of focus.”
Director (Service: Staff Retreat)

“This was the third time in my career that I’ve participated in a SWOT analysis, and this was by far the most functional, well-organized, and engaging SWOT I’ve participated in. I appreciated the presentation beforehand to help ground us in our program’s internal and external principles and how to analyze our successes and weaknesses through the SWOT. My favorite part was the post-it note activity in groups. As a visual learner, I appreciated seeing our comments hung up on the wall.”
Staff Participant (Service: Staff Retreat)

“I found the overall multi day professional development to be helpful which included the one-on-one sessions and the group session. I found that each part was intentional and provided enough context for the instructor to get to know us as individuals as well as understand the group dynamics. I especially found the actionable items of how to move forward in planting seeds of a fruitful work environment to be especially beneficial. Requiring us not multiple tangible items to move forward but to take one that is realistic and tangible to move forward with building rapport and camaraderie amongst my colleagues.”
Assistant Director (Service: Team Wellness Building Retreat)

“The visualization activity was really helpful to think about how I see myself in this space and the kind of things that are required for me to enjoy my work environment. It was also really insightful to learn that some of the things that I want are also things that my colleagues want for themselves. It really allowed me to recognize that we aligned in a lot of ways that are important to us for us to have a good work environment. This activity was creative and definitely required us to think outside of the box.”
