Kati helped me reimagine my role—without leaving a company I love.
– Director, Publishing

I worked with Kati at a critical point in my publishing career. I was burned out, but not ready to quit—I just needed to reinvent how I worked. In our early meetings, Kati was a thoughtful, intelligent presence who listened deeply and helped me untangle what was making things so difficult. She guided me to reframe frustrations and start imagining new possibilities. Together, we mapped out options and I ultimately proposed a new role at my company—one that worked for both me and my leadership team. Since then, I’ve been happier, more effective, and better able to shape my role as I near retirement. I couldn’t have done it without Kati’s insight, encouragement, and wisdom.

Retirement coaching gave me the clarity I didn’t know I needed.
— Entrepreneur & Consultant

I came to retirement coaching seeking clarity about the swirl of questions I had as I approached 65. I knew retirement wasn’t just about finances—it was touching every part of my life: work, identity, relationships, time, even my sense of purpose. As a solopreneur, I had to grieve the loss of a business I built and loved. I had to rethink who I am without that role. Kati helped me navigate these questions with grace and insight. She reflected not just my words, but the emotions and patterns I hadn’t yet named—sometimes just by observing a gesture or pause. Her coaching helped me sort through emotions, make thoughtful decisions, and even inspired conversations with my husband that led us both to reconsider our vision for the future. Retirement isn’t a single moment—it’s a complex process. I’m grateful to have Kati walking beside me through it.

Kati helped me cut through the noise and discover my own answers.
— Strategy Consultant

As my coach, Kati was excellent at helping me pause, reflect, and sort through the noise. She guided me through a process of self-discovery that helped me better understand my decisions, assumptions, and where I was getting in my own way. Her thoughtful questioning helped me surface unique solutions—and in turn, offer more meaningful value to my own clients. Kati brings clarity, creativity, and a true passion for helping people grow. She listens deeply, thinks outside the norm, and brings out the best in those she works with.

Working with Kati changed the way I communicate—and the way I lead
— Executive Leader, Financial Services

Through coaching with Kati, I learned how my mind defaults to one primary thinking and communication style—and how that was limiting my ability to connect and lead. Kati helped me explore all four dominant thinking styles, recognize them in others, and adapt my communication accordingly. This work wasn’t just theoretical—it had a direct impact on how I listen, collaborate, and build relationships. I now bring greater sensitivity and awareness into every conversation. Even years later, I use the tools and insights I gained from our work together. Kati made complex ideas easy to grasp and apply. She’s sharp, engaging, and deeply attuned to her clients. Our sessions were not only productive—they were something I looked forward to.
