Our Story
KAVA in Shona, my family's native tongue, means, "kick." But, don't worry, it won't hurt!
When our work was informal, friends and colleagues often remarked how a conversation with us "kickstarted" their thinking, an idea, or a solution to a problem. We aspire to be the well-timed Kick A** Value-Add that you need to meet your personal or organizational goals.
We love to learn. Our clients do too.
We approach every challenge with with fresh eyes and tailored solutions. No cookie-cutter frameworks here! That’s why we can apply our expertise in strategy, facilitation, and leadership coaching across industries. Check out some of our clients here. -
