I met Kay many years ago when she gave one of her fabulous presentations to a professional group I was a member of. A couple of years ago we reconnected at a BizWomen’s event and set up a date to meet for coffee. Wow, did she get an earful as it turned out to be a loaded day for me. She was very patient and offered useful tips to get me un-stuck. About a year or so ago, we became part of a small business/consulting networking group. I was at a place in my career where I thought an executive coach might be what I needed and I immediately thought of Kay. Truthfully, I debated a while wondering if our relationship might be too close to make it work. After our interview call, I knew immediately she was the right person for me. Working with Kay has been a tremendous and enlightening experience. She asks the right questions at the right time. I have no idea how she does it, but she gets right down to the root of it all. I never get advice, just questions – many, many questions. There have been days that we had a meeting scheduled and I thought about cancelling because I was highly stressed or something was “on fire.” Those have probably been some of the most productive sessions we’ve had. I always feel re-centered, invigorated, and ready to take on anything after we talk. The results I have seen in myself are far more than I expected. I carry myself differently and have come to realize that I have the talents and knowledge to do what I want and need to do. I am much more diligent about chronicling my successes and asking for what I want instead of waiting to be invited. I am more focused and productive with my time. In short, I found the fire and drive that helped me achieve the successes earlier in my career and am learning to build on these for further accomplishments. If you are looking for someone to meet you where you are, kick you in the behind a bit, and help you get energized and refocused, call Kay. She has so much experience to back up her work. And, she is focused on women, a real plus since the rules (real or perceived) are a bit different for us. You can expect someone who has a wonderful sense of humor and who wants to see you succeed. It is the best investment in time and money I have made in a long time.
