Our Business

We are mission driven. Our interest is in understanding your challenges and getting to the best solution. If this solution is within our scope, we'll both know it and move forward together. If the solution requires a different type of support, we'll come to that conclusion together and head you off in the right direction. Our clients love us because they know we have their interests at heart.

We are business leaders. Our aim is to manage each coaching and organizational consulting engagement to the highest possible level of service and customization. We view clients as partners and thus bring a level of integrity to the relationship based on mutual respect. As current and former business leaders ourselves, we hold the client perspective firmly in mind in all we do.

We are coaches. Our interest will always be in providing you with the very best coaching experience possible. We preserve the integrity of our relationships with clients by jointly holding organization goals with individual coachee goals. This approach gets results that forward the interests of all parties.

We are consultants. Decades of experience in the field of organization development enable us to diagnose individual, team and organizational challenges; and to design and deliver best-fit solutions. Expertise in all "people" functions of a business (e.g., recruiting, HR, development, diversity, governance) allows us to take a lifecycle approach to organizational challenges, resulting in integrated solutions that work and that last.

We are successful. Our success is wholly dependent on the success and satisfaction of our clients. We are a referral business and receive clients by word of mouth. In this way we create a virtuous circle of success for our clients and for ourselves.

We are ready. You have challenges, we have solutions. Let's talk about your personal and organizational goals and chart a course for making them happen.

King Street Associates

Emily King
President,
King Street Associates

King Street Associates is a small, woman-owned business founded and operated by coach and organization development consultant Emily King, M.S.

Emily is nationally-recognized for her innovations in adult learning and development. With 10 of her 15 years in OD spent in the domain of professional services, she brings a consulting approach to client engagements. This means she focuses on understanding the right problem and crafting the best solution rather than viewing all organizational issues through one preferred lens, such as HR or training. Her success is largely rooted in an ability to look at a business challenge or opportunity from a strategic, cross-functional perspective. This leads to lasting, high impact change for organizations and individuals.

Emily has a Masters of Science in organization development from Johns Hopkins University and a professional certificate in leadership coaching from Georgetown University. In addition, Emily has a host of professional certifications, including Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), emotional intelligence (EQ) assessments, and others.

Emily is the principal consultant in her firm because she loves doing the work, not just managing it. The "associates" in King Street Associates are a global network of rigorously vetted, highly qualified coaches and consultants representing a spectrum of industries and educational backgrounds. King Street Associates include MBAs, retired executives, alumni of top tier management consultancies, and educators.

With associates located in-country in the US, Europe and UK, King Street Associates has the ability to provide services quickly and seamlessly to clients around the world.
