The Gift of Intensive Coach Training for HR Leaders with Kacy Wickenhauser
“I thought I was coaching by prescribing solutions.”
-Kacy Wickenhauser
Have you ever felt pulled into the drama weeds with your clients - the stakeholders who rely on you as an HR or Talent professional? Me too:) In today’s episode, my guest shares how she has been able to shift from a prescriber of advice to a coach-like HR leader and the impact that has had.
My guest is Kacy Wickenhauser. Kacy is the Chief HR Officer at Wolverine Power Cooperative, serves as a member of the executive team setting the strategic priorities of the organization, and is responsible for oversight of multiple business divisions including HR, safety, accounting and finance, IT, and administration.
Kacy's journey with Wolverine began in 2019 when she joined as the Director of Human Resources. Prior to her tenure at Wolverine, she spent a decade at an electric cooperative in Illinois where she held the position of Director of HR for seven years before transitioning into the role of VP of Utility Services.
She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology, a master's degree in business administration, and is a certified Senior Professional in HR. In 2022, she expanded her skill set by becoming a certified professional coach, enabling her to guide employees at all levels in their career, leadership, and personal development.
