“Working with Kit delivered tremendous value to our team. We engaged QCI to evaluate our messaging and our approach to reach a philanthropically minded audience and Kit was well-prepared and well-equipped to guide us. Kit led us through an engaging, hands-on session and provided us with thoughtful, direct, and actionable feedback to tailor our approach and messaging to be more effective.
We left the session with a clear vision, a personalized strategy, and a case statement we are really proud to share. We truly enjoyed working with QCI, and most importantly, Kit is kind, generous, and authentic. He cares deeply about the work he does – and we believe his legacy will be reflected in helping others identify their mission and legacy.”
— Emily and Mark Kendall, Co-founders, EmpowerMe Living
“Kit’s visit to my high school Philanthropy course was one of the more impactful experiences of the semester. QCI’s tools helped my students understand the origins and nature of the messages that shape their relationship to money and why that awareness matters.
Kit was personable, relatable, and reflective. His honesty about his own story was critical for creating a safe environment for students to explore and discuss their own.”
— Karen Glum, Director of Experiential Learning, The Seven Hills School

- Katie Jensen, Development & Marketing Director, UpSpring
“Kit is a rare combination of “soft-side” EQ and practical, pragmatic insight into how organizations actually get things done, alongside a truly solid understanding of planned giving techniques.
When you want the “hardest soft-side guy in the room,” you want Kit.”
