I met Kay when she presented a keynote for Midway Toastmaster’s Open House. Immediately, I sensed a chemistry with her, a kindred spirit and said to myself, “This lady is really interesting!” I now know my gut was not wrong. I even volunteered to participate in an activity she conducted at the Open House. I knew then and there I wanted to coach with her, and I didn’t even know what the price would be! Ms. Fittes is a wealth of experience and knowledge, plus she has resources that are so valuable. She has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve and documents that support the learning. Kay is terrific at empathizing and her non-judgmental style is just what I need. I would imagine a lot of her clients feel that way. She never makes me feel small, even when I haven’t completely followed through on an action. We just keep coming up with proactive steps to overcome the challenges, to me that is key. I don’t beat myself up, I don’t wallow in inaction, I just keep moving forward. The results in my business have been significant. I am not nearly as intimidated by my obstacles. It’s just like she says in her tagline, “Stepping over the obstacles”. Overall, I feel less overwhelmed and keep putting one foot in front of the other. This experience has increased my joy and taken the drudgery out of life and business. Even during the heavy snow and pulling heavy berry products through the snow at my business farm, I was able to be in the present and see that bright side. If you are not where you want to be in your career or business and you find the right person to coach you, do it in a heartbeat. I knew hearing Kay’s keynote I wanted to work with her. At the very least, get her book, Achieving High-Heeled Success: 50 Ways for Career-Oriented Women to Succeed, it will give you a jumpstart. Every one of those 50 tips is a nugget! Plus, a female coach for a woman in her career or business is key.
