Epiphany Consulting

What Epiphany Consulting does

Epiphany Consulting is a privately held, West Virginia-based employee development and leadership consulting firm co-led by founders Kathi Rhea-Richards and Kathleen Walker. Operating from South Charleston since its founding around 2000, the firm serves enterprise and mid-market organizations across 11 industries — including government, education, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, hospitality, and technology — helping clients identify, recruit, retain, and develop talent. The firm works with a small team of 1–10 employees, with the founders personally anchoring client delivery.

The firm's product portfolio is built on an authorized business partnership with Wiley Brand Products and comprises three flagship assessment-based solutions: Everything DiSC (personality and behavior assessments for workplace culture), PXT Select (employee selection and development), and The Five Behaviors (team development). These are complemented by the proprietary Emerging Leaders program, a custom year-long blended leadership training curriculum. Delivery is described as "high-tech and high-touch" with claims of EEOC compliance and adherence to Association of Test Publishers standards. Additional credibility is layered through WBENC Women-Owned Business certification and John Maxwell Team practitioner status.

Epiphany operates a quote-based professional services revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct outreach (phone, email, website forms), organic content marketing across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and a blog, plus a referral pipeline anchored by named clients such as Encova, American Red Cross, and Chesapeake Hospitality. The firm received Wiley's 2020 Ruby Award for PXT Select partner performance, signaling top-tier status within the Wiley reseller ecosystem.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• BetterUp: Tech-enabled coaching and leadership development platform. Comparable as a new-format competitor in the leadership-development space that Epiphany serves — particularly relevant as tech-enabled delivery threatens traditional facilitated-workshop models.

Direct peers

• Wilson Learning: Global training and consulting firm focused on leadership, sales, and workforce development. Comparable because it sells assessment-backed training through a partner/practitioner channel — same GTM archetype as Epiphany's Wiley-reseller motion.
• VitalSmarts (now Crucial Learning): Training company offering Crucial Conversations and other team/leadership programs. Comparable because it sells similar team-effectiveness and leadership content through certified practitioner partners — a channel model closely mirroring Wiley's authorized-partner approach.
• The Ken Blanchard Companies: Leadership development and training company offering workshops, assessments, and coaching. Comparable because it sells similar leadership-and-team-development content (e.g., SLII, Leading People Through Change) through a practitioner-partner channel akin to Epiphany's Wiley relationship.
• Caliper: Talent assessment company specializing in selection, onboarding, and development. Comparable because it competes in the same employee-selection assessment niche that PXT Select addresses, with similar mid-market enterprise buyer personas.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): Nonprofit leadership research and education provider offering assessments, coaching, and programs. Comparable because it targets the same enterprise leadership-development buyer with similar assessment-driven content and workshop delivery.
• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Large incumbent leadership and talent development firm with global delivery. Comparable because it sells assessment-based leadership development to enterprise buyers across the same verticals Epiphany targets, though at vastly greater scale and with proprietary IP.
• Predictive Index: Talent assessment platform used for hiring and employee development. Comparable because it sells behavioral/cognitive assessments — directly overlapping PXT Select and DiSC use cases — with a tech-enabled SaaS model that competes for the same HR buyer.
• Hogan Assessments: Provider of personality assessments used for selection, leadership development, and coaching. Comparable because it competes directly in the assessment-for-leadership-development space that PXT Select and DiSC occupy.
• FranklinCovey: Major provider of leadership, culture, and execution training (The 7 Habits, etc.). Comparable because it competes for the same enterprise training budget and operates a similar content-license-plus-facilitated-delivery model across industries.
