Career Transitions

In the words of clients . . .

“I wanted to thank you for all the guidance that you have given me during our coaching sessions. You have helped me through two major hurdles in my career . . .  1. helping me with my decision to transition into NY and take a great opportunity to manage a large strategic client of the firm and 2. helping me through a very rough transition to NY. I really found our coaching sessions helpful in the way that you used the materials from the coaching program and helped me relate them to my real life situation. I find myself going back to the coaching materials and thinking through the issues we have discussed and finding real meaning in the answers I come up with. I have been very fortunate in my life to have had very good people come into my career at certain points and guide me through very tough times. These people have helped make me the successful person I am at [the firm]. I am now including you on my very exclusive list. You have really exceeded all my expectations and the intangible value you have added to my career is beyond words.” — Rob S, from Japan, working in United States, Tax Manager, top tier global professional services firm

 

For me coaching with Kathy was a life changing experience as I was transitioning back to work as a new mom and Kathy made the transition manageable by providing guidance on how to plan have better work/life balance. I was impressed by Kathy's powerful questions, accountability and active listening skills and I was able to trust her and talk to her openly about any issues I was facing... She is an amazing coach and I will truly miss working with her but I have comfort in knowing that I have a coach that is just a phone call away. Thank you Kathy and may God bless you! - ZM, from Kenya working in United States, Audit and Risk Services, Top tier global professional services firm

 

Kathy was my executive coach for the leader development program and played a key role in my professional and personal growth. She provided clear, behaviorally specific performance feedback, make practical suggestions for improvement in a manner that builds confidence and preserves self esteem and worked closely with me to develop my strategic career plan. As a result I was able to: align my career choices with my cultural and personal values, advance my influence skills, broaden my professional network and make a major career change. Kathy is passionate about keeping her client's interest top of mind. I strongly recommend her as an executive coach for your business managment/leadership team as well as for your personal development and mentoring. S, from S.
