Release Your Potential with Emergent Coaching
You know there is a better way of doing, being, communicating, achieving and thriving, yet you feel stuck and unsure about how to move forward. Emergent coaching uses the proven strategies of Gallup, Inc.'s CliftonStrengths to help unlock your potential.
Meet Your Coach
With more than 15 years of experience in helping collegians and higher education professionals leverage their natural abilities to improve communications and more fully engage in life, relationships, academics and careers, Sharon now brings her work to you.

"I have witnessed college students soar simply by understanding themselves in fresh new ways and moving through the university experience with intention," said Sharon Kinard, founder of Emergent Coaching and Consulting. "The results are equally as impressive for professionals who learn to engage more fully at work, with colleagues, family, friends, hobbies, and self... effectively learning how to thrive."
Change Begins with You
Your coaching experience will begin with your completion of Gallup's 20-minute Strengths assessment. Each question you will answer in seconds to reveal your unique way of thinking, feeling and behaving. A coaching conversation follows to help make sense of the findings and you determine the depth and breadth of your discoveries!
Why I coach
Maximizer | Intellection | Connectedness | Relator | Responsibility
Driven by my unique top talents, I am passionate about helping others maximize their potential. The spark began decades ago when I discovered the power that a news story could have to transform lives. With a bachelor's degree in journalism and master's degree in business, elevating people and processes has been the foundation of my work for 30 years. Let's connect and see how I might help you leverage what you do best!
What Others Say
Working with Sharon Kinard and CliftonStrengths was eye-opening for me! To learn about my five top talents was helpful and useful, as I learn more about myself and how I am made, naturally.
The information gained is helping me at work with collaboration and project teams; and in my personal life to communicate and process information more effectively.
Working with Mrs. Kinard was worth the time invested to learn about my top five talents/communication styles; and how to apply them in my work and personal relationships for productive connections and interactions.
