Building Champions, Inc. Hires Wendi Kroll, Founder and CEO of Essential HR, as Executive Coach


Building Champions, Inc. has added Essential HR Founder and CEO Wendi Kroll to its growing Executive Coaching practice, a group of seasoned executives within the firm who offer one-on-one business coaching and development services to leaders and teams.

In her new role as an Executive Coach, Kroll looks forward to helping leaders grow and use their gifts. She says employee engagement is essential to organizational success.

“I coach, develop, and understand leaders as a whole person – because everybody brings their whole self to work,” Kroll says. “I’m hoping to make a difference in people’s lives by sharing my experiences, helping leaders learn more about themselves, and supporting them as they become the best version of themselves.”

Kroll founded Essential HR Inc. in 2003 to provide experienced, professional HR consulting services to hundreds of organizations—both onsite and offsite—and has served as the organization’s CEO for more than 15 years. She also writes leadership development programs for leaders and is developing and teaching a course on HR and operations for nonprofits through The University of California, Irvine.

Building Champions Vice President and Principal Coach Jonathan Rogers says he’s excited to welcome Wendi to the team.

“Wendi is smart, experienced, a consummate professional and has the true heart of a coach,” Rogers says. “She has a strong voice and deep convictions. She brings solid expertise in all things HR as well as the benefits that come from being a successful small business owner and entrepreneur. I can’t wait to see the impact and influence she’ll have on Building Champions clients and organizations in the months and years ahead.”

Kroll has studied for a Masters in Clinical Psychology and has a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. She lives in San Clemente, California.

As an Executive Coach, Kroll helps her clients find meaning, purpose, and a path to success in their work. Learn more about Kroll at http://www.buildingchampions.com/who-we-are/our-coaches/wendi-kroll.
