“I cannot recommend this group enough. If you want the real deal in EQ and leadership development that isn’t run of the mill, you need to call them.”

Lindsey Kay

“The Krestyl Edge team was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and intentional in their approach to leadership development. They created a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing openly, reflecting, and engaging in meaningful conversations. This was our second time working with Krestyl Edge, and we have seen noticeable growth in our team as a result. What I appreciate most is that their training goes beyond the sessions themselves. The lessons and practical tools have carried over into our everyday work and have positively influenced our team culture. We truly value their partnership and the impact they’ve had on our team’s growth and development.”

Valeria Olave

“The session I attended on boundaries and feedback was exceptionally engaging and impactful. The presentation was very high quality in materials and delivery. In past leadership trainings I’ve been sent to put on by other organizations, I tend to zone out a fair amount, but the Kestryl Edge presentation was so well paced, it was well balanced with information and participation, that I had no issues with focus and I left with some key takeaways that I can immediately implement into my professional life. Thank you for the work you do!”

Kay K

“Enjoyed the presentation as it allowed me to self-discover my values and skills.”

Jeffrey Silva

“Great instructors and great content.”

Estevan Flores

“Great class and training I highly recommend!”

Veronica Martinez

“I attended a 2 hour, virtual workshop on cultivating self-compassion as a means to improving my ability to lead. I LOVED IT! Super useful and actionable discussions and activities. Dan and Tessa offered science-backed (i.e. peer reviewed) evidence as to why emotionally intelligent leadership is valuable, AND then gave me a practical framework to define my main goal/direction and repeatable actions to get there. I found this to be transferable beyond self-compassion goals. For instance, I used the time in session to gain clarity on my goal of starting a personal career coaching business. The goal/habit framework they shared was developed by an Olympic athlete and overlaps with many of the principles I love from Clearean habit building practices. Dan and Tessa facilitated fun, lighthearted yet reflective discussion and sharing among all participants. The vibe was warm, welcoming, curious, motivating. Dan personally emailed me afterward about my goals, and it's clear that he's going to hold me accountable for the words I said. I would highly recommend Kestryl Edge to anyone with ambitious leadership goals who may not know what next steps would be most effective. Thanks again for the session! I feel motivated to chase down my goals with greater clarity than before engaging with Kestryl Edge! Onward and upward!”

Andres Velarde

“The instructors at Kestryl Edge, Daniel and Tessa are quite relatable and introduced me to some tools I had not come across before! Their approach to Self Care and other internal support tools we can utilize ourselves was eye-opening as well! I learned something about myself, and their prompts really brought out some very insightful ideas from the rest of the team on the call, allowing me to learn more about them! I highly recommend you give Kestryl Edge a try!”

Danny Freppon

“Keystral Edge offers innovative, interactive training programs focused on making workplaces better. Their energetic trainers connect well with a multigenerational audience and keep the sessions upbeat and engaging without making the pace difficult to follow. The trainings are informative, enjoyable, and leave you with practical ideas you can put to use!”

Sherri Carlson

“Engaging and unique! Wonderful content shared by wonderful people, you won't regret it!”

Ashley Benson

“So helpful! They helped me connect with my co-workers on another level and learn how we perceive what a great leader and bad leader is. What they teach and how they do it really sticks with you and improves the team. 10/10 would recommend.”

Is This You?

Built for technical leaders who want to be in the room.

Your people are technically excellent. Many of them have been doing this work for 15 or 20 years. Many were promoted into management because they were excellent individual contributors, not because anyone invested in developing them as leaders.

The result tends to look like this

  • Managers avoiding hard performance conversations until they become an HR issue
  • Teams that silo under pressure instead of communicating across functional lines
  • A safety culture that exists on paper but breaks down at the shift lead level
  • Attrition you can't attribute on an exit survey
  • Human Performance Improvement initiatives that don't stick because the team culture underneath them won't hold the change

It usually starts after a restructure, or when a wave of new managers takes on a high-stakes mission.

Plant Managers · Ops Directors · Facility Managers

Operations Leaders

Running facilities where Conduct of Operations standards and human performance depend on leadership behavior at every level of the org chart. You know the technical work. The gap is the people system underneath it.

HR Directors · VP People · Talent Leaders

HR & People Leaders

Responsible for retention in technical environments. A cultural breakdown doesn't just hurt morale. It accelerates departures faster than hiring can absorb.

VP Operations · COO · Site Directors

Senior Leadership

Accountable for performance in environments where psychological safety and team cohesion aren't soft skills. They're operational variables. When they fail, you feel it in output, compliance, and attrition.

Clarity

Who this is not for.

We work with a small number of clients at a time. Getting this wrong costs both of us. If any of these describe you, we are probably not the right fit.

One-hour lunch-and-learns

We don't do them. A 60-minute session produces awareness, not behavior change. That's not what we're selling.

Off-the-shelf content

Our curriculum is built around your team's actual dynamics. We don't deliver the same deck twice.

Box-checking training

This process requires real engagement from leadership, not attendance. If the goal is a line item on a compliance report, this isn't the right conversation.

Lowest-cost option

Workshops start at $5,000 per day, and the Leadership Baseline is $4,500. If price is the primary filter, we're not the right fit.

Leaders who won't be in the room

The work depends on it. If leadership won't be in the room, we're not the right fit.

Investment

Two ways in. No surprise costs.

The way in

Leadership Baseline, $4,500

A survey of up to 20 of your managers, a half-day session with the group, and a written readout of where the team is strong and where it's stuck. You get a workshop proposal built from your own data. If you book the workshop, the $4,500 is credited in full.

Workshops

From $5,000 per day

Live and in person, 1 to 3 days, 8 to 20 people, leaders and team in the same room. Travel outside New Mexico is quoted per engagement.
