About Kite Agility
A Kite Story
I remember a regular adventure in my youth where we would cross the street and go into a field to fly kites. Our family was practical and resourceful, so we made our own.
It was so easy and brought an abundance of joy!
I love today’s kites because they are so multi-dimensional, colorful and versatile. There’s two- and four-line kites that can dance and create intricate patterns in the air. As an adult vacationing in the Pacific Northwest, I flew a two-line kite at the beach. I was a beginner, but it was great fun getting that kite to finesse its way through the sky!
I also love business and solving problems in multiple dimensions at the business objective level. I enjoy finessing information sharing, team identity, and stakeholder connections using my superpower of clarity. I’m passionate about helping project leaders navigate effective communications through project demands, varying priorities, and their team objectives.
My life purpose is to create clarity, simplicity, and practicality so you can achieve your professional or business goals. I am your line to communication agility!
I’m Dori Gilbert and I’m known as the Connoisseur of Clarity, because I’ve helped clients, teams, and friends sort through communication inefficiencies and conflicting information to help reach their goals and decisions.
My vision is for project managers and project management department heads to have the skills they need as the function shifts to be more relational, strategic, and empathetic. Did you know teams lose almost an entire workday per week to miscommunication*? With communication agility, I see them landing the most relevant and timely messages into various audiences, situations, and decisions.
My mission is to empower project leaders with communication agility practices and tools for improved visibility, alignment, and influence. I do this with training, consulting and individual advisory using my unique KITE principles.
