Marion County, Kansas
Leadership development, based right here in Marion County
Wired Human isn't based in Marion County the way a consultant claims a "service area." I live in Burns. This is where I actually am, and it shapes how I think about this work: small-town, small-team, everyone wearing more than one hat.
What that looks like here
Marion County runs on wheat farming, small manufacturing, and institutions like Tabor College in Hillsboro that punch above their weight for a county this size. A farm operation or a family business here has the same leadership problem a much bigger company does, just with fewer layers to absorb it. The person managing the crew is also doing the books, also talking to the bank, also the one everyone comes to when something's wrong. There's no HR department to quietly catch a leader who's struggling. It shows up fast, and it costs the people closest to it.
How this works in Marion County
- In-person workshops and coaching, no travel time or special trip required
- 1:1 leadership coaching for farm and small-business owners managing people for the first time, in person or virtual
- Leadership recruiting for local organizations hiring into a management role
- Engagements sized to fit a small team, not a service package built for a bigger company
Where to start
Tell me what's actually going on: a family member you're managing as an employee, a crew that's stopped trusting you, a hire you're not sure how to make. That's a more useful starting point than a service menu.
I also work in Wichita, El Dorado, Newton, and Emporia.
Frequently asked questions
Are you actually based in Marion County, or is this a service area you drive into?
I live and work here. Wired Human is based in Burns, right in Marion County, not a city office with a satellite territory drawn around it.
Do you work with family businesses and farm operations, not just larger companies?
Yes, and it's a lot of what this area actually is. A family business or farm operation has its own version of the same leadership problem bigger companies have, someone good at the work getting handed people to manage with no training in the second job that comes with it.
Do you work with schools and local government in Marion County too?
Yes. Small-town schools, city and county offices, and local nonprofits all deal with the same pattern, a small team, a leader wearing several hats, and real pressure with nowhere to hide from it.
