Testimonials

What’s all the buzz about Kathy’s coaching? Here’s what a few satisfied clients are saying:

• "Once I hired Kathy, my successes were immediate."

• "I accomplished more in four months with Kathy than I did in two years with my previous coach."

I had been working with a coach for two years and was not happy with my results. Kathy spent a lot of time getting to know me and what was really important to me. She helped me become more aware of issues that were holding me back and with her help and encouragement I have dealt with them. She asks the right questions, keeps me acountable, is caring and tough when needed too. I have accomplished more in four months with Kathy than I did in two years with my previous coach. I made great strides professionally and personally. I am so fortunate to have Kathy as a coach, the results have been amazing and I can't wait to see what lies ahead with her help. Karen Scott, realtor, Victoria.

• "My sessions with Kathy were invaluable, I can't imagine money better spent."

I sought Kathy's services in January, 2008 because I was at a point in my career where I was so stressed out that I was becoming physically unable to do my job. Six months later, I am now a sole proprietor in my field of expertise and I work less and make more money. I have made great strides in improving my relationship with my stepdaughter, sister and other important people in my life. Kathy coaches you in a a way that teaches you to look inside and find your own answers. This approach allows you to continue moving forward after you stop coaching with her. My sessions with Kathy were invaluable, I can't imagine money better spent. Jane Thomson, business owner, Duncan. 

• "I can honestly say that my sessions with Kathy have been life changing and my gratitude and admiration are boundless."

Kathy is outstanding at defusing difficult situations. Deftly, compassionately - and always with humour - she breaks messy, scary, complicated issues down into manageable pieces and keeps me moving through them. Thanks to her, I'm less afraid of life-changing events and can see the silver lining in even the blackest of clouds. Kathy's also helping me to be kinder to myself; to not push my body (or my psyche) too hard, which is a compulsion I've long had. I can honestly say that my sessions with Kathy have been life changing, and my gratitude and admiration are boundless. Diane Olson, writer, Salt Lake City, Utah.

• "I began to see results right away, immediately after starting with Kathy."

When I began coaching with Kathy, I was desperate for a change in my life. I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I felt constant anxiety trying to juggle family priorities and my business. The anxiety had developed into continual muscle pain that interfered with my sleep and daily activities. Once I started working with Kathy, I began seeing results right away. She helped me to clarify my priorities and values. I realized that much of my anxiety was from my own habitual thinking that was no longer useful. Today I'm taking better care of myself and enjoying my work and family more. I don't feel so overwhelmed and have accomplished many of the goals I set for myself. Continuing to work with Kathy helps me to stay focussed and keeps me from slipping back into old patterns. I am excited to explore how much more I can learn and grow with Kathy's help. Melanie, business consultant, Vancouver.

• " I highly recommend Kathy's coaching and the coaching tools she uses to anyone who wants to create a better life."

I'd been living in limbo for a number of years after cancer and a poor prognosis. In my fear and uncertainty, I didn't know where to go, what I wanted from life or how to set goals, let alone achieve them. After attending one of Kathy's workshops I left feeling hopeful, inspired and more in control than I had in a long time. Now as my coach, Kathy has helped me regain control of my life, move forward, create the life of my dreams and make a difference. She's helped me work through fears and obstacles, changed my outlook, given me different perspectives and opened my world up to new opportunities. I know, with her help and with my own hard work and determination, that I will reach my goals and become the woman I dream of being. Kirsten Lauvaas, public relations professional and cancer survivor, Victoria.

• "Kathy has listened, challenged and supported me with fabulous results. Because of her gentle yet extremely fierce support, I am growing exciting business opportunities with amazing confidence. She has helped me clarify what's possible and she can do the same for you."

Working with Kathy has really helped me get clear on what's important in my life. She has listened, challenged and supported my personal growth with fabulous results. She helped me focus on something other than fear when I contemplated flying, and I was able to reframe my thoughts and enjoy a holiday in Mexico with my family. What a gift to myself. Because of her gentle yet extremely fierce support, I am also growing exciting business opportunities with amazing confidence. She has helped me clarify what's possible and she can do the same for you! Cathy Anderson, educational advisor, Chilliwack.

• "Kathy's support and encouragement gave me the freedom and courage to challenge my preconceived ways of doing and looking at things. Her support and encouragement allowed me to speak freely and candidly to someone who really wanted to tap into the best I had to offer."
  

• "I am leading a much happier and more meaningful life now that I am doing things 'my way.'"

I started working with Kathy and saw results right away. She encouraged me to live life in a way that allowed me to be true to myself. In the short time that I worked with her, I became clear about what was important to me. I realized I had been living life mainly by standards set by my family. Kathy encouraged me to accept my own way of doing things and to figure out what was important to me. I am leading a much happier and more meaningful life now that I am doing things 'my way.' I would recommend Kathy to anyone wanting a better quality of life. Lyn, consultant, Victoria. 

• "I was able to get in touch with that part of me that I had left behind."

With Kathy's coaching (perceptive, challenging and always with a sense of humour), I was able to discover a major roadblock that was holding me back in my personal and professional life. And I was able to get in touch with that part of myself that I had somehow left behind - the magical, excitable, courageous me. Cathy, consultant, Victoria.

• "I was finally able to get unstuck."

I started our coaching partnership facing some tough blocks that had been holding me back for a while. After a few months of working with Kathy, I was finally able to get "unstuck," and down went the blocks. Now in movement, I feel a renewed sense of clarity and for the first time in a long time I have confidence in myself and what I can achieve. Jo-Anne, communications consultant, Vancouver.

• "For me, working with Kathy is similar to finding the light switch in a darkened corridor."

Her gentle guidance through areas where I could not initially see a way ahead helped me enormously. She coaches with empathy, energy and, most importantly, encouragement in finding the right solutions to one’s problems. Annabel, pro-democracy advocate and writer, Washington, D.C.

• "Kathy is a combination of wisdom and support; astute and empathetic."

My experience coaching with her has proved and is still proving to be a refreshing and rewarding journey. You set your objective and pace and Kathy will keep you on track. This is of real benefit if you tend to wander off in a million directions like I do. Dorset, artist, Victoria.

• "For the first time in a very long time I feel excited about my path and where it will lead me."

I was trudging along my well-travelled path. There was nothing exciting or surprising about that path anymore - although it certainly got me from point A to point B. I wanted to try another path - but every time I tried, something would stop me. With Kathy's help, I was able to take a good look at my map, figure out what I needed to get on that other path, and start moving toward it...For the first time in a long time I feel excited about my path and where it will lead me. Sarah, manager, Victoria.
