About us
Chris Kouns and Ender Nesbitt offer clients decades of business and search experience. Ender helped create the preprepared foods business for Whole Foods and then saw her employee population through the M&A with Amazon. Chris began recruiting student-athletes for 20 as a college soccer coach before moving on to recruit executives at Lucas Group, a Korn Ferry Company, and ChapmanCG, where he was a global leading biller for multiple years. At Transformative Talents we understand the most cost-effective way to fill your talent needs is through your internal team… we know this because we both have been hiring on the corporate and agency hiring side of the house! That said, we also know that no matter how good your internal team may be you never feel caught up! • There are still talent challenges that will be keeping you up at night! • There are still invasive talent thoughts/challenges popping up while you try to enjoy your kids playing! • There are still heaps of talent requests coming in to your team even before you finish the last search! • There are confidential searches that the internal team needs to be at arm’s length for! • There are searches you have under way that are not being successful! • No matter how good you are at your job right now, you know you are in pain about some form of a talent challenge! With white glove experience on both sides of the house, Transformative Talents was thoughtfully crafted to put these challenges to bed so you can sleep better at night! We offer our search services as RETAINED, CONTAINED, or EXCLUSIVE CONTINGENT to best fit each individual client. We will work within the confines of your budget for Retained Search, the confines of immediate cash availability for Contained Search, and then if you already paid someone their fee and you are not seeing the candidates we are confident enough to take on your search in an Exclusive Contingent capacity.

As my college professor used to say .... "that is something to think about" Key Features of 27th-Century Leadership 1. AI-Augmented Decision Making: Leaders will rely on advanced AI to analyze vast datasets, predict market trends, and optimize resource allocation across global and interstellar supply chains. Human judgment will focus on ethical, strategic, and creative decisions, while AI handles operational complexity. 2. Ethical and Sustainable Governance: With global and interplanetary commerce, leaders will need to prioritize sustainability, equity, and ethical resource management. Leadership will integrate principles of servant and authentic leadership, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and longterm societal impact. 3. Adaptive and Networked Leadership: Organizations will be highly decentralized, with leaders coordinating across virtual, augmented, and physical environments. Leadership will emphasize collaboration, emotional intelligence, and cultural fluency, enabling teams to operate effectively across diverse planetary and digital contexts. 4. Continuous Learning and Evolution: Lifelong learning will be essential, as technological and societal changes accelerate. Leaders will cultivate resilience, creativity, and adaptability, fostering innovation in rapidly shifting markets and technologies. 5. Integration of Human and NonHuman Teams: Leadership will extend to managing hybrid teams of humans, AI, and autonomous agents. Effective leaders will balance human intuition and empathy with AI efficiency and predictive capabilities, creating synergistic decision-making networks. Implications for Global Business Strategy Interstellar Markets: Leaders will navigate complex trade networks spanning multiple planets or space habitats, requiring foresight in logistics, regulation, and cultural adaptation. Ethical AI Deployment: Leaders will ensure AI systems align with human values, avoiding biases and promoting fairness in automated decision-making. Crisis and Complexity Management: Hyperconnected economies will demand leaders capable of rapid, informed responses to systemic risks, including environmental, technological, and geopolitical challenges. Conclusion By the 27th century, business leadership will transcend traditional hierarchies,blending human creativity, ethical responsibility, & AI enhanced intelligence. Leaders will act as strategic orchestrators, guiding diverse, multispecies, and multiplanetary teams through unprecedented complexity, while maintaining a focus on sustainability, innovation, and societal well-being. This vision builds on centuries of leadership evolution, from heroic figures to adaptive, ethical, and technologically integrated leaders.

Everyday we are asked about the key trending topics in business because so many different functions are now being called on to make an impact on P&L or ebidta. Below are just a few of the current thoughts! Generative AI: The integration of generative AI is transforming business productivity. Companies are increasingly adopting AI technologies to enhance customer experiences and streamline operations. This trend is expected to grow significantly, with generative AI projected to hold about 30% of the entire AI market, valued at approximately $60 billion. Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance): Businesses are focusing more on sustainable practices and ESG criteria. Companies are recognizing the importance of sustainability not just for compliance but as a competitive advantage. This trend is reshaping corporate strategies and consumer expectations. Remote and Hybrid Work: The shift towards remote and hybrid work models continues to be a significant trend. Organizations are adapting their policies and technologies to support flexible work arrangements, which have become a norm in many industries. Data-Driven Decision Making: Companies are increasingly relying on data analytics to inform their business strategies. This trend emphasizes the importance of data in understanding market dynamics and consumer behavior, leading to more informed decision-making processes. E-commerce Evolution: The growth of e-commerce continues to reshape retail businesses. Companies are focusing on omnichannel experiences to meet consumer demands, integrating online and offline shopping experiences. Cybersecurity: With the rise of digital transformation, there is an increased focus on cybersecurity. Businesses are investing in robust security measures to protect sensitive data and maintain consumer trust. These trends reflect the dynamic nature of the business landscape and highlight the importance of innovation and adaptability in today's market. Keeping an eye on these trends can help businesses stay competitive and responsive to changing consumer needs and technological advancements.

The core value of Transformative Talents is that Ender N. has a strong change/transformation background. She created the Prepared Foods BU for Whole Foods, Expanded the BU into SE other stores, and then guided the M&A (and monumental culture shift) after Whole Foods merger with Amazon. The other side of the partnership is Christopher Kouns who has a decade of experience working with companies, talent, and business leaders from Fortune 10 to start ups to empower their HR/TA functions to "transform" themselves into a revenue driving, business producing function where they are more viable for the future. Given our fusion, and purpose "To get you the talent now that you will need for the future" we felt the attached article from Deloitte offers an insightful look at transformation (something everyone is doing today) and even shares some pdf support items. https://lnkd.in/d2paZcUn We would love to hear your thoughts on the article and the current state of M&A/Transformation so please take a moment to share! #CHRO #CHROS #ATLHR #Leadership #Transformation #Transform #changemanagement #newwaystowork #talentmanagement #talentacquisition #HRandBusiness #HRdrivesBusiness #executivesearch #retainedsearch #containedsearch #Exclusivecontingentsearch #layoffs #change #M&A

What Ender N. and I ( Christopher Kouns ) are seeing in the market is very similar to the points laid out in this article ... Leaders of all kinds (not just HR leaders) must take active ownership for the business, they must take an active role at the table to ensure talent is distributed and utilized correctly and they must be ahead of the curve in terms of technology. Be active, Be organized, Be Prepared because it's an unstable world out there. https://lnkd.in/ePUKVpSp #CHRO #CHROS #HRATL #Leadership #Priorities #HRLeadership #FutureofBusiness
