What CLIENTS say

Sales Training & Coaching:

“Kathie understood the goals and had a depth of knowledge that allowed her to get the results I needed. She knew how to put the workshops together to get a certain outcome. Kathie was very effective in bonding with each person and getting them comfortable with sharing.  This allowed her to become their coach as they believed in her and her ability to help them be successful. Kathie helped our team with time management and selling skills.  She was able to help our seasoned sales force learn new sales skills by opening their eyes to self evaluation and improvement.  She also helped clarify for management what the issues in sales were.  This allowed us to implement corrective issues on our part and be better managers of the sales people. Priced fairly ,she did what she said she’d do and she’s effective.  Because of that we’ll be using her again in the future.”

~ Hutch Johnson, CEO Cadet Manufacturing

 

Small Business Coaching:
“Kathie helped me create a strategy to find the best clients for me.  Not only are they well paying clients, but they are the kind of clients that I want to work with for years to come.  This not only increased my revenue, but my clients are happier. With Kathie’s help I was able to put procedures and policies in place that bring consistency and quality control to my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t worked with her. I believe in what she does for businesses.  It’s something we never learn in school and college, it’s not something you can read in a book…she teaches you valuable skills that you can put in place now.  Rather than just giving you a list of goals to accomplish, she helps you go through it step by step.  I never felt lost when I was meeting with her. She helped me become a better business owner.  If I hadn’t worked with her, I wouldn’t be the happy business owner I am today.  She helped me see that my people weren’t a good fit and she patiently stood by me as I worked through that.  Eventually, I fired my staff, went back to doing everything myself, and once I regained control of the business I started hiring people who really wanted to be here. Her leadership style has helped my leadership style become better for my company.”  

~Mary Bernhard, KIS Accounting

“Kathie taught me to ask for what I’m worth.  I doubled my publishing consulting rate after one 20 minute session with Kathie and am getting it!  I feel more confident and natural about how I talk about my fees.” 

~Julie Fast, Best Selling Author, BiPolar Specialist
