We at Kardia Group know higher education, from the individual experiences of faculty, staff, and students to the organizational structures and dynamics through the surrounding political, cultural, and funding environment. We know its quirks and conundrums, as well as its transcendent strengths. And we want it, and the people who give their lives to it, to succeed.

Career and Leadership Development
Thriving in a Meta-Profession
Working in academia is a “meta-profession” requiring skills and expertise across a wide array of roles – with very little training along the way. Coaching helps navigate these multiple demands, customized to individuals, situations, and institutions. We make smart people smarter in all the roles associated with the intellectual endeavor. Learn more about coaching services, our coaching FAQ, or short coaching.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In the Academic Environment
What are the meanings and motivations of diversity? How are diversity, equity and inclusion specifically relevant to the mission of higher education? What does it take to create an inclusive environment? How do we make good use of climate data? Does “diversity training” work in academia?
Strategy and Change Expertise
In a Complex Terrain
Learning and the production of knowledge is a complex terrain, populated by those who are seeking the unknown. We help leaders and changemakers understand and effectively work with these dynamics to harness the diverse interests, skills, and ways of knowing that define academia in order to fuel individual and collective success.
