Gwen Kinsey
“Inspire and engage your most powerful resource…people”
Gwen Kinsey helps transformational leaders lead their organizations through uncertain times. Gwen believes that “our capacity to adapt for future challenges comes from how we sense opportunity and engage others in a holistic approach by rethinking what it takes to achieve better outcomes”. She does this through peer mentoring and workshops.
Prior to GK Network, Gwen held progressive sales and top management positions during a 17-year leadership career in the television industry. Her former employer called on her to serve as Vice President and General Manager of 4 of the 10 stations they owned. A key to Gwen’s portability was her strength developing people of all experience levels, building strong teams and innovating digital initiatives. She has a knack for quickly identifying opportunities for new solutions and mobilizing teams for growth.
Gwen is a former Director of the Northern Virginia chapter of the COO Forum, a collaborative, peer support organization of Chief Operating Officers. Gwen completed an MIT edX Honor Code Certificate for ULab: Transforming Business, Society, and Self as well as earning certifications in coaching and emotional intelligence. She is a graduate of Temple University with a B.A. in Radio, TV and Film.
“I couldn’t have accomplished what I did without my teams. Those rewarding relationships inspire what I do today…help transformational leaders engage their most powerful resource…people.”
Her credo?
Gwen believes that innovative behavior seeds blossom–or shrivel depending on where they are planted and how they are nurtured and fed.
“Our capacity and influence comes from how well we engage others… our ability to be a positive influence, communicate effectively, collaborate, network for ideas, and facilitate the development and diverse experience of others.”
On a personal note,
“I’m a pie loving, mischievous lover of life who doesn’t believe in time. I do however believe in a rate of decay. My recipe for a long fulfilling life? Don’t decay. Embrace diverse perspectives, creative expression and lifelong learning.”
