from our clients and colleagues

This retreat could not have come at a better time for me. It was energizing to take time out to reflect, refocus, talk, and listen while in the company of amazing women from my community. Chasity is an inspiration. She guided us seamlessly through two days of discovery and I left a better person for it.

The retreat was everything I expected, yet full of surprises! Crazy! How can that be? And more importantly how can I replicate and relive it until my dying day!?! Thank you Chasity!

It’s not often people allow themselves the opportunity to take a step back and reflect upon who they are and how it impacts their daily life. I feel so very fortunate to have gotten a chance to participate in Executive Elements’ workshop. Thank you Chasity! What I have learned in the past couple of days will be carried with me, professionally and personally, forever.

have had the pleasure of knowing Chasity Kuttrus for over 10 years both professionally and personally. Chasity has the whole package-she is a respected expert in her field, creative, inspirational, professional, has high integrity, and executes! I admire Chasity and look to her as a role model. I would highly recommend Chasity to anyone!

Chasity’s gift is to connect with others. Our organization, Ohio Women in Public Finance, engaged Chasity to conduct sessions on leadership development, personal branding, and executive coaching at our statewide conference. Chasity took the time to understand the audience.

We’ve had the true pleasure to host many of Chasity’s executive coaching sessions at sparkspace over the past few years. I’ve also had the privilege of having her coach one of my key employees. Her ability to connect, coach, encourage, and push people to new levels is truly extraordinary. One thing I’ve noticed as people come and go from her coaching sessions is that her clients always seem a little taller, a little more confident, and a little more on fire when they leave a session with her. That’s pretty good proof that her coaching skills are definitely world-class.

Chasity is an outstanding manager, mentor, and coach. She is hardworking and committed to excellence. She delivers high-quality results that support business/financial objectives, which is why she was viewed as a true business partner in her role within Human Resources at NCR. I was blessed by the experience I had to report directly to Chasity — and I am grateful for the way she has challenged me to be the best I can be, simply by her example.

Chasity is an inspiring mentor! I love having the chance to work with her directly – it’s clear that she has a passion and commitment to helping our clients grow and build their business. She sets the bar high for us internally, which means I work hard to seek out and submit only top caliber candidates to our clients. I love working at a firm that is able to position other organizations to achieve their strategic objectives, and Chasity is a key to that success.

Chasity has served as a coach, mentor and sounding board for me throughout the typical ups and downs of someone in my position. She asks difficult and insightful questions in a way that doesn’t put people on the defensive. She has a unique gift that enables her to look at challenges in a different way and helps you strategize the most effective and constructive manner of going about solving the issue.

Executive Elements has more than met my expectations. The coaching has been a great way to engage several of my highly-valued female leaders in a strategic and challenging development process. Chasity has a unique skill as a coach that is affirming as well as challenging; engaging and thoughtful. I believe that many of the benefits of this engagement – both immediate and long-term – will positively impact my top female leaders.

I had the pleasure of working with Chasity recently involving my job search and found the experience to be uplifting. She listened to my concerns, helped to build my confidence level and provided me with useful information and tools to embrace my job search with a positive attitude. I looked forward to our meetings to compare notes and bounce ideas off her and felt that she truly took an interest in my progress. I encouraged others to seek her advice during their employment search and hope they found her coaching as valuable as I did.

Chasity’s strategic skill set is unlike others. She is innovative. She has a keen sense of dissecting a problem or barriers and exposing an opportunity for new possibilities. Her business savvy, whether within her own entrepreneurial endeavors or nonprofit board memberships results in financial growth and organizational deepening.

I met Chasity through her leadership at YWCA Columbus. Her creative thinking and commitment to innovation lead to the development of a leadership program for young women – a gap the Y had not been filling. The Gen Y Leadership Project is the only program of its kind and Chasity’s vision is to thank. Her commitment has allowed YWCA Columbus to expand it’s portfolio of programs and has served now two classes of young women and the Columbus community. I assist in the oversight of the project with Chasity and a core team. I admire Chasity both personally and professionally and highly recommend her!

Autumn R. WilliamsP.M., Office of Strategic Planning at The Ohio State University

Chasity is driven. She is motivating. She is an exceptional collaborator. She does not expect that leadership is accomplished alone and has an innate ability to foster consensus while pushing those she is in partnership with to accomplish more than first expected.

I have never had a personal mission statement that I liked or that felt like the right fit until now. Chasity asked all the right questions to help get me there.

Christine Watchorn

I have had the honor and humble privilege to get to know Chasity in multiple capacities. What I have seen, experienced, and know is that she is an authentic leader demonstrating deep intelligence, compassion, and passion for the vision at hand; particularly the full potential being reached for other women in leadership roles or evolving into their leadership.

To know or work with Chasity, is to experience a phenomenally evolved individual that brings out the best in others.

Nichole DunnPresident and CEO, The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio

I’ve known Chasity for almost 10 years now and I have always been impressed with her business sense, managerial skills and dynamic energy. During my time at Ray and Barney I always felt that she truly valued my input and experience. She has always had an outstanding talent of bringing the right people together to get a job done by leveraging many diverse skills.

Her enthusiasm and positive energy are infectious and she always ‘gives credit where credit is due’ when recognizing someone else. She is an outstanding motivator and leader with a focus on providing great service to Ray and Barney clients. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to work with her and I highly recommend both Chasity and Ray and Barney to anyone who needs a business consultant.

Jeff YoungSenior HR Consultant, Ray and Barney Group

I have gotten to know and respect Chasity Kuttrus through my work on the board of directors of the YWCA Columbus. As a Y board member, Chasity has been ‘unafraid’ to roll up her sleeves and do the hard work. She has fundraised and lead several committees. As Vice Chair and Chair Elect, Chasity lead the Y through our most recent search for our new President and CEO. She is respected and thoughtful. She combines her business acumen with her passion for the community to help the YWCA achieve goals and reach for new beginnings. We are lucky to have such a dedicated individual as a part of the Columbus community.
