What My Clients Are Saying

“I started working with Kathleen as a career coach and mentor earlier this year when I was settling into a new role. Her experience in the industry combined with her unique, warm approach to coaching has been immensely valuable. Kathleen was someone that I established trust with immediately, which was extremely important. I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone that is advancing into leadership, transitioning to a new role, or want to take an inventory of their skills. She’s incredible!”

—J. Lambeth, Director Business Development (Currently Senior Director)

“I can’t thank you enough for the time that you spent with me and how valuable it was.  You took the “big picture” information and dialed it down to how I can implement it in my life – both work and personal time.  You helped me “slow down” and appreciate all that I have and what my team “told” me in my 360.  And the weekly tasks that we agreed to are already making an impact in how I am directing my team and making time for myself.

You were the perfect coach for me –immediately made me feel at ease and you know that the introvert in me usually wins out – but I felt safe and opened up so easily. “

— General Manager, Hospitality

“I met Kathleen during her tenure as a Head of Clinical Operations in early clinical development organization at Takeda Pharmaceuticals. I was absolutely delighted to work with Kathleen – it was very easy to establish a working relationship (in the middle of a merger!) because of her incredible dedication to her work, extremely high work ethics, commitment to do the right thing for the organization and build partnerships and outstanding leadership.”

— E. Izmailova, Chief Scientific Officer

“I know Kathleen through her work in 2018 as a graduate student in the Designing for Organizational Effectiveness certificate in the Master’s Program in Learning and Organizational Change at Northwestern. The certificate is all about design thinking for leaders – applying empathy, systems thinking, an open mind and agility to issues that impact how people perform and deal with change in the workplace. Kathleen is a model for the type of leader who can bring out the best in what design thinking has to offer. Her work continues to showcase what an innovative, productive and caring leader can be.”

“I am so grateful to have met Kathleen years ago as an HBA mentor and most recently as an executive coach. Her innate skills as a patient and active listener, excellent communicator and to work efficiently with different personalities made me enjoy every minute of my coaching sessions with her. I admire her professionalism and quiet strength with which she led towards my path of success. With her help and guidance I was able to recognize my strengths and areas of improvement. She were instrumental in providing me with a sounding board during my career decision making and transition period. Thanks to Her I have achieved my short term career goals. I truly appreciate her sound advice and providing clarity in my thoughts while helping me stay focused.”
