In this episode of Lead Learn Connect, host Alan Krieger sits down with Kyle Fortune, Training Coordinator at Rite Hite, to unpack Kyle’s T.E.A.M. Communication assessment results and reflect on his EA style—a blend of Engage and Analyze. Kyle shares how his people-centered personality (E) is balanced by the detailed precision (A) he developed through professional growth.
Alan provides a quick overview of the T.E.A.M. model, and together, they explore how understanding communication styles can elevate training effectiveness, improve engagement, and navigate challenging workplace dynamics
Kyle also shares inspiring stories from his own leadership journey—from building a training program from scratch in a logistics startup to empowering future leaders through mentorship and train-the-trainer programs. With a military background and a heart for people, Kyle reveals what it really takes to create trust, lead under pressure, and make training meaningful in any environment.
