Kathy is an inspiring coach and an extraordinary mentor. Thanks to Kathy, I have learned how to prepare and present high-quality presentations that engage my audiences, provide excellent information adapted to a variety of adult learning styles and inspire the workshop participants to change their thinking and their outlook on life. In just 3 years in business, I am now a regular guest-lecturer at a number of the country's leading music conservatories and law firms.

The AIM program was energizing, challenging and fulfilling all at the same time. The unique balance of group and 1-1 mentoring was a great way to learn and receive advice on how to best coach my client specific issues. The AIM program was exactly what I needed to hone my coaching skills and feel confident to apply for my ICF accreditation.
Three months after completing the AIM program, I sat for my oral ACC exam and ... passed! I very much credit Kathy and Janine for my readiness and ability to breeze through the test.
Caroline Rosengarden Professional Coach
As my mentor coach, Kathy's positive energy was infectious, and her feedback was remarkably clear, thorough, and always so helpful. She provided a wonderful, enjoyable environment for learning and experimenting with newly-acquired coaching techniques. I am a much better coach, and therapist, thanks to Kathy's mentoring. I feel very fortunate to have worked with her, and I look forward to our paths crossing again in the future.
John Duffy, PsyD, Parenting and relationship Expert, The Steve Harvey Show
Kathy’s encouragement helped me first to dare to dream, and then to identify and execute the steps to make those dreams a reality. Her assistance is somehow both inspirational and very practical, so I always leave our meetings with specific tasks to help me move forward.
Kathy’s coaching style is straightforward, compassionate, and highly motivating. She guides not by telling me what to do, but by observing carefully and helping me figure out the path.
Each session with Kathy is like a B12 injection. With a focus on positivity and strengths, Kathy has taught me concrete techniques that have made me markedly happier in my career and my life.

The CEW team found your course to be a painless and enjoyable opportunity to develop our speaking content and delivery skills.
We’ve been using your techniques ever since, and the benefits are readily apparent.
Lisa Klein Senior Vice President CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) New York, NY
Kathy was my coach for several years. Through her relaxation techniques, leading questions, and challenging exercises, she has led me to bring balance to life and understand myself. As a manager, a mother, a friend and a daughter, I am able to perform more effectively, listen more attentively, trust my gut, and accept recognition. Our sessions are perhaps the most constructive 45 minutes of the week!

From the first meeting with Kathy, I knew our sessions would be worthwhile. She took the time to get to know me and understand the tools I needed to flourish professionally. Kathy is warm, insightful and very generous with her time. I always felt that she was cheering me on and excited to see positive changes. I continue to take what I've learned from her with me in both my personal and professional life.
