Meet Blaze Konkol:

Blaze guides professionals and family businesses to have the productive conversations that need to be had. These conversations often address underlying relationship dynamics, and development opportunities, which can obstruct or propel success. His approach enables clients to disentangle intent and impact in ways that validate and move forward.

With more than 20 years of experience leading teams in corporate and higher education organizations, Blaze has led global teams to develop and implement strategies critical to organizational success. Blaze has served as the Senior Director of Career Management at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. In that role he led a global coaching team responsible for the development, design, and implementation of leadership and career development workshops and coaching for approximately 1,800 students in Chicago, London, and Hong Kong and alumni around the world. Prior to joining Booth Blaze worked at Deloitte in a variety of training facilitation, coaching, and talent development roles in the U.S. and Australia. In his last role as Senior Manager and Leader of the Leadership Coaching services area, he created an internal coaching practice that focuses on designing and delivering leadership development training supported by individual coaching with partners, directors, and senior managers.

Blaze has undergraduate degrees in English and History from the University of Wisconsin Madison and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University. He is certified in Korn Ferry Leadership Architect and Korn Ferry 360. He is certified in Hogan Assessments, Leadership Versatility Index, and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Blaze is also a provisionally certified Crucial Conversations trainer. He serves as a coach in the Next Generation Leadership Institute at the Loyola Family Business Center and with the Hogan Assessment coach network.
