About Us
We help organizations sustain performance by correcting rhythm, clarifying roles, and eliminating UGLY wins—so results don’t come at the cost of their best people.
Kendall Autism Support & Consulting
Kendall Autism Support & Consulting (KASC) is a leadership and organizational development firm that helps organizations strengthen performance by addressing what most systems overlook: behavior, rhythm, and capacity.
Founded by Tanyika Mayhew Butler—keynote speaker, organizational rhythm strategist, and retired educator—KASC works with corporations, school districts, and leadership teams that are still meeting goals, but sensing strain beneath the surface.
With 27 years inside complex education systems, Tanyika learned how results are often sustained not by alignment, but by silent compensation—high-capacity leaders absorbing unclear roles, emotional overload, and unchecked pace to keep performance intact. Over time, she began to notice patterns others dismissed as “just part of the job.”
Those patterns became frameworks.
Drawing from decades of leadership experience and real-world observation, Tanyika developed practical tools—including Basketball in the Boardroom™ that addresses UGLY Wins. She helps organizations identify hidden performance costs before they show up as burnout, turnover, or loss of institutional knowledge.
KASC partners with organizations to:
-
restore leadership rhythm without restructuring
-
clarify roles so strong people don’t become the system
-
support neurodiverse and high-performing employees without lowering standards
-
reduce invisible strain while outcomes still matter
This work isn’t about motivation or culture slogans.
It’s about recalibrating how success is carried—so excellence becomes sustainable, not expensive.
What We Do
At Kendall Autism Support & Consulting (KASC), we help organizations, leaders, and families build sustainable success by improving how they understand behavior, leadership, and human capacity.
Corporate Leadership & Training
We help organizations identify the hidden patterns that quietly lead to burnout, disengagement, and turnover—creating healthier teams and more sustainable performance.
Executive Leadership Strategy
We partner with high-capacity leaders to strengthen decision-making, protect their capacity, and lead with excellence without sacrificing their well-being.
Autism Education & Caregiver Support
Our work began by helping schools, educators, and families better understand autism. Those same principles of behavior, communication, and support continue to shape the practical frameworks we use today.
What began with autism became a broader approach to helping people and organizations build success that lasts.
Why We’re Different
We don’t lead with information.
We lead with insight.
Every framework we deliver is built through strategic storytelling—the kind that reveals performance gaps, exposes operational chokeholds, and changes how leaders understand behavior, capacity, and accountability.
Stories aren’t used to inspire for a moment.
They are used to surface what data often misses.
Through story, leaders can see:
-
where roles have drifted
-
how rhythm has gone unchecked
-
why strong performers are compensating silently
That clarity becomes action.
Our storytelling translates into:
-
systems teams can implement
-
tools leaders can use immediately
-
frameworks organizations can scale
Story is how we diagnose.
Systems are what remain.
Sustainable performance is the outcome.
This is strategy delivered through story—and that’s why it holds.

Meet the Founder: Tanyika Mayhew Butler
Tanyika Mayhew Butler is a keynote speaker, author, and the creator of No More UGLY Wins™, a leadership message that helps organizations recognize the hidden patterns that quietly exhaust high performers.
With 27 years in education as a teacher, school counselor, and leadership advisor, Tanyika has spent her career helping people navigate complex systems, behavior, and change. Her work is also shaped by her personal journey as the mother of an adult daughter with autism and multiple disabilities, and by her own experience living with Multiple Sclerosis.
Those experiences led her to ask a question that changed the course of her work:
What if burnout isn't the problem?
Today, Tanyika helps leaders see what everyone else has normalized—uncovering the hidden performance patterns that lead to burnout, disengagement, and turnover before they become the cost of success.
Through keynote presentations, leadership training, and autism education, she equips organizations and families with practical strategies to build sustainable, repeatable success.
