Denise Beers-Kiepper, owner of DBK Coaching and Consulting, defines culture — in the business sense — as the way people work together. That’s why connecting authentically, seeing beyond the surface and bringing energy to every engagement are hallmarks of working with Beers-Kiepper.
With an education in business and two decades of practical experience in a variety of roles, Beers-Kiepper’s passion is for business and the people who make it come together. While chasing a dream career in shoe buying for a fashion realtor, a mentor pointed Beers-Kiepper, instead, to the direction of human resources. Reluctantly, she took the advice, stepped through an unknown door, found her passion and never looked back. Empowering people is her superpower.
“Leadership principles,” Beers-Kiepper said, “are agnostic, adapted from a mix of experiences.” Depth in industries like finance, technology groups, commercial real estate, hospitality and business shaped her vast knowledge of growing positive workplace cultures. From corporate America to coaching CEOs, Beers-Kiepper knows what works universally and which pitfalls to avoid. Due to this, success stories of her ability to ground companies in their values and facilitate a positive culture of highly engaged employees spread quickly — as did referrals.
Today, DBK Coaching and Consulting serves start-ups, small and medium businesses. Beers-Kiepper has also coached young professionals and family-owned businesses. “It’s important that your values and strengths align with the work that you do every day,” she said. Building a sustainable culture that attracts top talent is her area of expertise and she has been called on to be a thought leader and trusted advisor to many.
When you’re facing chaos, you can either approach it alone, hoping to power through, or you can recognize it as a calling to a higher place of understanding and growth. Beers-Kiepper helps her clients make sense of the chaos, and she addresses the pivotal points to bring a sense of calm.
