TESTIMONIALS
I had a fantastic coaching experience with Katie. The coaching I received has really helped me to become more confident in myself as well as given me some practical tools to improve my leadership skills within my work group. I know that my management and my direct reports noticed the changes right away and were pleased with my efforts to improve myself.
The Executive Coaching experience with Katie has awakened in me the desire to excel not only professionally but most importantly personally. This self-awareness process has ignited my critical thinking and motivated me to bring my ideas to reality. The final product of this is the satisfaction of feeling that I have accomplished my goals.
Katie helped me embrace the challenges that lay ahead while I applied for a management position at my institution. With her coaching sessions and assignments, I could focus on my strengths, develop my communication skills and reduce the anxiety that almost prevented
me from applying.
