Edge Leadership Testimonials:
Real Clients, Real Voices
The culture cultivated by Edge Leadership Academy is nothing short of transformative!
“I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Josh East at Edge Leadership Academy, a true gem in the world of leadership and culture-building. Working closely with Josh on enhancing our sales leadership team's performance has been an absolute game-changer. Josh's insights into coaching, particularly in the realm of relationship building and closing skills, have propelled our sales team to new heights. His deep understanding of the 4P concept – Presence, Persistence, Personalization, and Pride – has revolutionized how we approach client interactions. This framework has become the cornerstone of our client rapport strategy, resulting in stronger connections and more successful closures.
The culture cultivated by Edge Leadership Academy is nothing short of transformative. The dedication to empowering employees and fostering leadership from within has been instrumental in boosting workplace morale and camaraderie. This, in turn, has translated to remarkable customer outcomes. It's refreshing to see how a thriving work environment can directly impact client results. The commitment to elevating not only individual performance but also the collective prowess of the team has been evident every step of the way. It's clear that Edge Leadership Academy's methods extend beyond just business; they resonate in athletics and various aspects of life.
To put it simply, Edge Leadership Academy is the catalyst that has ignited positive change within our team. Our training session with them has redefined our approach to leadership, sales, and company culture. I am beyond grateful for the transformative impact they've had on our team, and I wholeheartedly recommend their expertise to anyone aspiring to take their leadership and culture to the next level.”

Infectious enthusiasm that captivated our teams from start to finish...
“We have had the pleasure of working with Kitch and the Edge leadership team for our manager training for 3 years now, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. Kitch and his team brought a wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm that captivated our teams from start to finish.
The workshops were not only informative but also engaging and interactive, leaving our attendees inspired and motivated. Edge worked directly with our leadership team to tailor his message perfectly to align with our event themes, demonstrating deep understanding of our industry and the challenges we face.
Feedback from our leaders has been positive, with many highlighting Edge’s ability to connect with them and provide practical insights that can be applied to their everyday work.
We highly recommend Edge leadership for any organization looking to elevate their team with a coach who delivers both substance and inspiration. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Edge again in the future.“

We’ve noticed better survey results, improved manager performance and a more successful leadership team overall!
“We provide ongoing leadership development opportunities for our entire leadership and management team. Each event is more difficult to plan as we must find new information and new ways to energize and engage our team. Edge Leadership Academy has been a partner of ours for years and he has continually raised the bar!
Kitch’s energetic, coach-oriented approach connects extremely well with our team’s management style and company culture. They have taken the time to learn who we are and is always eager to adapt to our needs, develop exciting workshops and manages to hit a homerun every time.
I’m always excited to connect with “Kitch” and his team to start planning our next event. The return on investment for keynote speakers and leadership coaches is difficult to quantify. However, since Edge has been onboard with us, we’ve noticed better survey results, improved manager performance and a more successful leadership team overall.
On behalf of our entire organization… Thanks Kitch!”

Kitch genuinely cares about teaching and guiding others toward their own personal goals
"Coach Kitch has been my mentor for the last 5 years. Under his guidance, I learned to motivate and lead myself and others, build a system that breeds success, and most importantly the art of holding myself accountable for the goals I set out to achieve. As I have progressed in my career, I have been in various positions in which I relied on his expertise and guidance to help me make the most sound decisions. Kitch is business oriented, professional, and genuinely cares about teaching and guiding others toward their own personal goals. His willingness to help anytime I am in need, is a perfect example of how he approaches each relationship he builds. As he always used to say “Be the thermostat, not the thermometer” if you choose to work with this guy and buy in you will elevate."

Kitch's work ethic, humility, and dedication to helping others have left an indelible mark on me
"Over the last 5 years, I have had the privilege of working closely with Coach Kitch, who displayed an exceptional level of unwavering support to help me reach my goals and continues to be a role model in my life. What truly set him apart was his dedication to mentoring a positive and competitive learning environment. Coach Kitch recognized my strengths, but I will always appreciate his transparent communication for evaluating my areas for growth.
Kitch not only shared his technical expertise, but also imparted invaluable life lessons and wisdom that continue to resonate with me. Furthermore, he continues to be a source of inspiration and guidance in my life. His mentorship extended beyond the confines of the 1:1 coaching, as he continues to offer advice, support, and encouragement as I have advanced. Kitch's work ethic, humility, and dedication to helping others have left an indelible mark on me, and I strive to emulate these qualities in my own journey."
