Kevin Turner

Kevin Turner's Unique Client Value

In the "profession" of training; executive development training and consulting, Kevin Turner is a businessman by experience, a minister by training, and an executive coach and trainer by passion. At the core, a minister is trained to understand and find clarity in the grey areas of decision-making, because as we all know, very few critical decisions are black & white, clear-cut, in and of themselves. It takes the ability to see beyond the immediate and calculate the down-the-road implications (2nd, 3rd, and even 4th impacts) of a given decision. Kevin's training (minister), coupled with his experience (businessman), gives him a unique ability to deliver his passion (coaching and development) to the clients he serves.

In addition to this, Kevin's strong sense of responsibility in serving his client/customers led him to author and create his state-of-the-art human performance systems and tools for which he is known and recognized for today. Kevin's strengths are:

1. Sound pattern recognition,

2. Understanding 2nd ,3rd, and 4th impacts (of actions taken or to be taken),

3. Drawing analogies from other industries and experiences,

4. Rigorous understanding of the microeconomics (resource allocation decision-making), and

5. Extensive experience working with multiple, cross-functional organizations, divisions, and business units.

Kevin has over 30 years of experience in Human Performance Development and Technology, bringing a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise to his clients. Kevin views his vocation as a profession, not just a business. His reputation comes from putting customer's interests first and always telling them the truth. Kevin graduated from college with his Bachelor's Degree in just 3 years versus the traditional four or today's five and 6 year plans. Kevin Turner achieved entrepreneurial success at an early age. He was the founder and president of KC-MAC, an aviation restoration products and services company, when he was 23. After KC-MACs successful start-up, Kevin successfully sold the enterprise to local buyers and moved to North Texas to obtain his Master's Degree in divinity with an emphasis in behavioral psychology.

Kevin achieved executive position at an early age as well. While pursuing his Master's Degree he served as the youngest minister in what was at that time the Nation's largest Protestant church. Then, as President and Founder, building on both his executive and entrepreneurial backgrounds, in the late 1980s Kevin built a counseling center in Dallas, Texas, that became one of the premier businesses of its kind throughout the Nation.

It was in the 1990s that Kevin's unique "Tool" system of behavioral modification and human performance gained wide-spread popularity. Kevin's unique ability to create and craft tools and solutions around specific people problems that produce long-term, time-effective results garnered him nation-wide attention with over 1,000 television, radio and print interviews. It was during this time that Kevin served as the Corporate Coach and Relationships Expert for television's NBC5 in Dallas from 1999 to 2003.

TLS Consulting and Leadership Development firm began as an off-shoot of the counseling center. A lot of business executives were coming to the center for personal and marriage issues and many would ask Kevin if he'd ever considered consulting and corporate coaching. Kevin finally said yes one day when a senior executive asked Kevin if he'd come and work with his company's National Sales Team in the late 90s. It was a Fortune 500, NASDAQ traded company. Since that time, Kevin has consulted, given keynotes and speeches, and trained executives for over 275 public and private companies from a wide-spectrum of industries.
