I’m still pretty blown away by yesterday’s coaching session. You are a cerebral surgeon! Not quite sure how you do it, but it is effective in helping me access the clarity I seek.

With a background as a highly accomplished corporate executive herself, Katy brings a novel perspective and an approach that is highly tailored to the needs of her clients. I found great value in the group coaching experience, where not only I had my questions addressed by an expert in the executive coaching space but also had the opportunity to network with and learn from other executives.

Working with Katy was transformative for taking my professional career to the next level. She’s a multidimensional powerhouse and exceptional leader. I cannot recommend Katy enough. She’s the real deal.

Katy helped me during a pivotal time in my career and provided invaluable advice. Her knowledge in my field of work and her general approach to coaching resonated deeply with me. I’d recommend Katy to anyone needing a coach!

“Katy not only provides amazing insight and useful tools, her network is stellar. I joined her peer group for professional women and found my tribe.  Connecting with other successful women at a professional and personal level helped me define what I wanted next in my career and life.”

“Katy excels in creating a supportive and motivational environment for the executive coaching experience. I value her strategic insights, career expertise, and amazing communication skills. Katy’s personalized coaching strategies encouraged me to challenge myself and achieve my professional goals.”

“I found Katy to be a gifted, intuitive listener who distilled my wandering musings into clear, actionable goals. She was a relentless cheerleader at a career juncture when I needed it most. I went to her initially for help in getting unstuck and crafting a plan. She was empathic, patient, and insightful. She was particularly adept at helping me see grander possibilities than I ever saw for myself. I felt lucky to have Katy’s career guidance and now feel lucky to count her as a friend. I heartily recommend her to anyone in a career transition.”

My sessions with Katy have had an enduring impact on how I see myself as a leader.  She was able to guide me to examine and let go of assumptions, to set boundaries and ask for resources, and to take a non judgemental approach to noticing my own recurrent behavior patterns that contribute to being overextended.  During our in person and remote sessions together, I was challenged, laughed often, and felt seen.

“Katy empowered me to find my inner strength and let it shine. I am now happily employed at my dream job and can confidently say that I would not be where I am today without Katy’s expert guidance and support. Katy is a trustworthy, high performing and effective career coach with strong integrity and an unwavering passion for helping others make their dreams a reality. Katy consistently delivers exceptional value and exceeds her clients’ expectations by fully immersing herself in their individual needs and helping them to fully explore their own path forward without imposing her own opinions. I highly recommend Katy to anyone looking for a highly qualified, motivational, and inspiring career coach.”

“Katy’s blend of strategic advisory consulting with coaching helps me work through key decisions I am considering in my professional life. Our sessions leave me with more clarity about what I want to pursue and how I want to go after it. I value Katy as a trusted advisor.”

“Katy is a dream booster!! With her supportive style, she inspires, questions, inspects, simplifies, crafts and challenges your ideas to make them bigger and better.  Her consulting and coaching skills are just the start.  One chat with Katy and you’ll get it. Having her in your corner is essential for turning your dreams into reality.” SONALI, Founder/CEO, Emotional Fitness Coach, London

“Katy made herself immediately accessible when I was transitioning to a new role at a new company.  Katy’s perspective in helping me negotiate my offer was invaluable. More importantly, she helped put a structure and process in place to enable me to confidently get off to a great start in my new role. I have recommended Katy to others and will continue to do so.  Katy is a valuable member of my personal Advisory Board and I know I can call on her for help throughout the rest of my career.”

“Katy is a gifted listener. It’s more than her empathy and ability to focus on someone else; she is uniquely able to distill what she has heard into valuable, credible insight. Her ability to do that distinguishes her from all other coaches. Katy has the smarts, drive, education and experience foundation essential when communicating with executives. I believe that Katy was meant to be a coach. I find myself often thinking about her words, remembering them and acting upon them. I recommend Katy highly as an executive and career coach.”

“Katy is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener, and highly pragmatic. She is a successful business person who also happens to be a trained coaching professional. Katy assesses and offers a view of your situation quickly. She was extremely helpful in developing my vision for my career, and for thinking through how to manage my current situation while pursuing a new one. She sees the best in you and helps you to build a plan for how to put those strengths and passions to work in a career. Equal parts business and advisor, coach, and cheerleader, Katy helps you to bring your vision to life. I’m very grateful to have worked with her during a challenging period professionally and highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to transform their career.” DAVE, President & Co-Founder, Business Growth Consultant, Pittsburgh

“Part strategist, part thought provoker, and part cheerleader, Katy has a masterful knack for knowing when to invoke these various skills to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. She has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction. If you are looking for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your professional skills, your career ambitions, and your potential, look no further than Katy.”

“Katy helped me to evaluate other career options when I discovered that my first position out of college was not the fit I had hoped it would be. Katy was there for me with her expertise at a time where I felt stuck in a career and wanted to make a change. Her structured process helped me to evaluate other options and position myself for success in the one I chose. I was able to confidently enroll in graduate school and pursue an entirely different path and Katy was the support I needed at the right time to get me on my best fit career journey.”

“Katy is a trusted advisor and sounding board as I navigate different chapters of my career. I appreciate the ability to check in over time and leverage the relationship we have built to access her guidance when I am contemplating big decisions. Katy is able to add value over time in different contexts as you build your career.”

“I value Katy’s combination of directness and sensitivity. Her business acumen, insight, and unwavering positivity helped me take an honest look at my values and motivated me to take action. Working with Katy helped me realize that I’m accountable for my own potential and then started me on my path to reaching it.”

“Coming out of university into a challenging job market, I found Katy’s support helpful in how to position myself, how to network in, and how to beat the bots! Katy’s tips and support helped me be more effective and buoyed me in the rough patches. I am so excited to start my dream career!”
