The Client Experience
“I have had the great opportunity to partner with Kathleen in a number of roles and she is seen as a voice of reason and is a true trusted confidant and mentor/business partner. Kathleen has an uncanny ability to quickly assess a situation (business environment or team) and helps to clear the path by applying practical and immediate actions to optimize business impact. Kathleen is an end to end thinker who strategizes on the front end and sees things through to completion, all while bringing an open-minded, global perspective to ensure that new perspectives are heard.”
— Senior Director, Global Technology Manufacturer
“Kathleen has been instrumental in helping me focus on specific areas for growth, and has highlighted my strengths in a way I’d not previously considered. With her guidance, I’m now putting focus on new areas on how I manage my business. My coaching expectations have been wildly exceeded.”
— Sales Vice President, Healthcare
“When my organization told me that I would be working with a professional coach on a monthly basis for a year, my presumption was that there would be 12 wasted hours of my life that I would not get back. But after more than a year working with Kathleen, I have been proven very, very wrong. Kathleen has a perfect blend of IQ and EQ and her instincts and insights, honed from many years working as a professional herself and gleaned from her other clients’ experiences, have helped me navigate innumerable straits this past year. I ALWAYS come out of calls with her with new paths to try or potential solutions that I never would have thought of on my own.”
