The Coach Behind the Culture

N’Kayah Kersey, MS, BCBA is the founder of Culture Coach Co., a behavior-science-driven leadership and culture development platform for coaches, athletes, and teams.

A former Division I athlete and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, N’Kayah bridges the gap between how people want to perform and how behavior actually changes under pressure. Her work helps coaches move beyond motivation and lectures—designing cultures rooted in clarity, accountability, and repeatable habits that show up when it matters most.

Through team culture development, workshops, and coach education, N’Kayah equips athletic programs with practical systems for leadership, communication, emotional regulation, and performance consistency—on and off the court.

Her approach is grounded in applied behavior analysis and real-world coaching environments, making Culture Coach a trusted partner for programs seeking sustainable culture change—not short-term results.
