Sianna McKinley, Founder of Pivot Connections
Certified Working Genius Consultant
(The Table Group, Pat Lencioni)
Sianna McKinley is a dynamic facilitator, speaker, and coach who combines the creativity of a theater director with the strategy of a corporate consultant. She brings over 15 years of experience in tech, education, nonprofit, and workforce development, with a focus on helping people feel seen, aligned, and energized in their work.
At Pivot Connections, she leads interactive workshops using the Working Genius framework to reduce burnout, build trust, and help teams work better together. Her sessions are practical, engaging, and rooted in the belief that people—not programs—are the key to real change.
Sianna creates space for clarity, collaboration, and growth supporting educators, leaders, and career-ready students.
We recognize the weight leaders are carrying across industries and institutions. The work is intense, complex, and constantly evolving. Leaders are running a mental triathlon of decisions, transitions, and daily challenges.
At Pivot Connections, our vision is to help teams recapture purpose and pace. We guide teams to realign their work with what brings energy, clarity, and connection. When team members understand how they and their colleagues naturally contribute, they gain a shared language that makes decision-making easier and collaboration more energizing.
This is how teams build trust, lighten the load, and keep moving forward—especially when the course gets tough.
Individually, we take ownership. Collectively, we progress faster and with more momentum.
No death by PowerPoint here
Our workshops are practical, collaborative, and energizing. We give your team real tools they can use right away to communicate more effectively, focus on what matters, and enjoy working together again.
When your approach to work matches how you naturally contribute, everything shifts. That’s where Working Genius makes the difference. As a certified Working Genius Consultant with The Table Group, Sianna trained directly under the methodology developed by Patrick Lencioni.
Through her company, Pivot Connections, she equips educators, leaders, and teams with tools to communicate clearly, lead confidently, and thrive through change—using frameworks like Working Genius, the REV model (Recognize, Energize, Value), and AI mindset training. Her sessions help participants move from burnout to clarity, from skepticism to curiosity, and from disconnected to aligned.
