L2C is proud to partner with Kathleen Mills and The Coaching Experience to serve the needs of our clients.

As a senior executive with 17 years of leadership experience, Kathleen had the pleasure of leading teams in diverse areas from cybersecurity to IT infrastructure to training and development. She studied leadership at University of Michigan - Ross School of Business, Notre Dame – Mendoza College of Business, Northwestern University – Kellogg School of Management, and Yale School of Management.

 Through her vast experiences, she became highly skilled in cultivating high performing teams; emotional intelligence; leading innovation; changing culture; fostering trust; relationship management and networking; communications – strategic and tactical; DEI matters; leading change; and strategic planning and execution.

 In the male-dominated industry of federal law enforcement, Kathleen rose quickly through the leadership ranks, retiring as a Deputy Assistant Director. She earned a reputation for strength as a business-minded strategic thinker who achieved results through connecting with people to bring out their personal best and developing authentic partnerships across genders for high organizational impact.

Transitioning into leadership coaching was a natural progression for Kathleen after retiring from a 31-year career in the FBI. As a graduate of the Georgetown Executive Leadership Coaching program, she supports clients to improve personal understanding and performance while sharing her considerable knowledge of leadership development and practices.

As the Founder and President of The Coaching Experience, Kathleen breathes life into the fundamental truth that we are forged by our experiences. Understanding how experiences shape thinking, feelings, and behaviors is the key to controlling outcomes we desire. As professionals, we are expected to produce results. As humans, we need connection to survive. Helping clients find the balance between the two is at the center of her coaching practice. To support leaders in harnessing their highest potential, she is a certified assessor of DRiV Model, EQ-i® 2.0, and EQ-i 360® Leadership tools and is Brene Brown Trained in the Dare to Lead® curriculum.

Kathleen holds a Bachelor of Science and Master’s in Public Administration.
