My name is Craig Kitch and people often refer to me as the "Turn-Around Guy." I work with organizations wanting to develop an engaged workforce and with managers who want to become better leaders. Often my clients say their people become more focused on what matters most and more committed to getting the job done.

What Clients Say

I had the pleasure of working with Craig Kitch over a three-year period, associated with the Ford Consumer Experience Movement. Craig's strong inter-personal skills allowed him to be quickly accepted by our team as not just a facilitator or coach, but as a valued member of the team. He has the unique ability to provide tough, constructive feedback without isolating himself in the process. No matter how difficult the conversation, the time spent developing the relationship in advance allows Craig the opportunity to provide the necessary feedback for improvement. Don't miss out on the opportunity to have Craig on your team!

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Craig for several years at The Rainmaker Companies in training, coaching and podcast development. Craig has many incredible qualities but the ones that stand out to me are integrity, humility, perspective and humor. Craig is a straight-shooter who earns trust very quickly with a team. He does what he says he will do, is easy to work with and is very relatable. His work experience allows him a unique perspective when dealing with multiple industries as well as varying experience levels of participants. Craig brings a contagious positive attitude to work and his humor and humility make him a joy to work with. Anyone would be lucky to work with Craig on a project or long term engagement.

I had the pleasure of meeting Craig few years ago. We have since become friends. Craig can bring a new life into a team challenging the status quo. Craig worked with our team to improve processes and increase customer experience. He also worked with our management team on the topic of leadership development and setting up the bench. I would recommend giving him a call, he will greatly impact your business.

I've known and worked with Craig for years. I learned more about behavioral styles, communication, and presentation work in my time with Craig than with any other trainer I've used.

Thank you for the incredible presentation you made to our managers. Having heard you speak on a couple of other occasions, I was eager for you to speak directly with my people. We had never introduced an outside speaker to one of our workshops and spending money in new and creative ways has never been one of our strengths. You brought the right message at the right time and it was well worth it! You brought the Gen Y message in a manner that could be touched, tasted and smelled. You were able to relate to our front line General Managers with real “stuff”, not simply theory and philosophy that other speakers often bring to the table. Your “high energy” delivery set a lasting tone for our 2-day workshop. I have a couple of ideas for a repeat performance. Talk to you soon.

    By Craig Kitch www.craigkitch.com   Some years ago, a very high-profile rock and roll band checked into my hotel for six weeks to record a new album.  Their manager had made the arrangements, paid for the rooms and asked me contact him if the guys needed anything extra.  It was exciting to have them in […]

    By Craig Kitch www.craigkitch.com   There used to be a store near Valdosta, GA that sold groceries, tires and bibles (really). I stopped in on the way to a canoe trip in the Okefenokee Swamp about 20 years ago. It has been a joke between those of us on the trip ever since. I have […]

    This Too Shall Pass

    www.craigkitch.com   Looking back over the last 50 years, I remember so many hard times that we, as a nation, have gone through and the challenges they represented to both businesses and individuals. Those things are now in the past and, one day, we will be asking each other: “remember when” regarding our current state […]
