Leadership can be Liberating...or like Being in a Box

Leadership can be Liberating...or like Being in a Box Leadership can be Liberating...or like Being in a Box Leadership can be Liberating...or like Being in a Box

Get Out of the Box. And into a Culture that Performs.

The world's best businesses don't grow and retain top talent by accident. They do it with intentional, courageous leadership -- the kind that moves people.


That's where BGL comes in.

Kristal is standing confidently in front of a wooden box that she had previously been trapped in.

Kristal Markle-Temons, Founder, Principal Consultant


Kristal Markle-Temons is a fractional Chief People Officer for organizations ready for real culture change. She built Pennsylvania's statewide Leadership Development Institute, the gold standard for multi-agency leadership training, and now she brings that same level of excellence to businesses across the country. 


Kristal leads companies through succession, expansion, and culture transformation with one mission in mind:  build workplaces people never want to leave.


Her work delivers immediate improvements in retention, leadership confidence, communication, and measurable performance outcomes.


BGL advises banks, farms, government agencies, tech firms, and mission-driven organizations with strategies rooted in Servant Leadership, people-first systems, and courageous culture.


Kristal holds a master's degree in Strategic Leadership from Messiah University and is a keynote speaker, author, and architect of bold leadership.

JP is looking right into the camera, holding his hand on his chin, seeming intent and focused.

John (JP) Phillips, Performance Consultant and Training Facilitator

JP is one of Pennyslvania's foremost experts in performance accountability and systems transformation. As the Senior Performance Management Analyst for the Governor's Office of Administration, he built the Commonwealth's facilitator certification program, now used by more than 25 State agencies and dozens of statewide organizations and local governments. 


He specializes in diagnosing underperformance, redesigning systems, and improving the way leaders operate day-to-day. JP helps organizations move from intention to execution by creating clarity, structure, and behavior change that sticks.


The strength of BGL comes from the duality of its leadership: Kristal's intuitive clarity and courageous culture work, paired with JP's operational discipline. BGL translates human behavior into mission clarity and courageous strategy, bridging the gap between culture and performance, giving organizations both the heart and the engine needed to grow, retain top talent, and deliver consistent results.
