Rabbi Marc Kline, JD, DD

Rabbi Marc Kline is an executive coach and organizational consultant with more than 30 years of combined experience across civil rights law, congregational leadership, and university teaching. A former corporate and civil rights attorney in Little Rock, he went on to lead and rebuild congregations across four states over 28 years, most recently serving a three-year interim healing-and-transformation role at Temple Ohev Sholom in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He has also taught ethics, philosophy, religion, and government for three decades at institutions including the University of Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky University, Transylvania University, Lexington Theological Seminary, and the Martin Luther King Leadership Development Institute.

Marc works with executives and organizations navigating ethical complexity, crisis, and values-driven transformation — particularly leaders in interim or turnaround situations, post-crisis recovery, merger integration, and culture realignment. His practice draws on the Coaching Framework that begins with “Why?” and revolves around dignifying “human.” Marc serves formally in boardrooms and workshops, and informally in one-on-one/small-group settings. His goal is to help leaders and organizations align personal values with organizational action. He has served on more than ten nonprofit and community boards, currently on the National Board of the Solhiten Institute (mental and spiritual health clinics), as Vice-Chair of the National Council of Synagogues, and on boards representing the full political spectrum on matters involving Israel and Palestine. He co-led the 25,000-person 2000 march on the South Carolina State Capitol and participates in justice, educational, and healing work globally. Marc is based in Key West, Florida, delivering nationally as part of The Result Center Collective.
