Last week I led a week-long intensive training with my Master Transformational Coaching program. In this program, I emphasize personal development work because it\’s this work that truly helps us be our best selves. When we do this work, we\’re able to bring the best of our selves to our relationships – whether they\’re with…
When it comes down to it, everything I\’ve studied and practiced over the past 20 years has been about healing. I\’ve looked at healing from spiritual, material, creative, energetic, psychological and physical perspectives. Today, both my business and personal development work focuses on how I can best facilitate and teach healing practices. And so, for…
I\’ve learned a LOT about leadership while growing my business. I cannot say these have been easy lessons. I\’ve probably made every mistake in the book. I\’ve been too hands off. I\’ve been too rigid. My standards have – at times – been out of reach. In those moments, I\’ve let my frustration get the…
I listen for a living. Over the years, I\’ve developed my ability to listen into what people say and – sometimes more importantly – what they don\’t say. My ability to listen closely to my clients is a big part of how I help them get the results they seek. Really listening to what people…
When I went to high school my teachers had it backwards. Instead of helping their students to develop the right thinking necessary to solve a problem, they simply encouraged them to have the right answer to a problem. Their answer-based rather than thought-based focus of education amplified my weaknesses and not my strengths. In turn,…
Note from Kate: I see it happen every summer. The best laid plans get put aside and forgotten. What seemed so important in the Spring suddenly becomes less so as we make time to go to the beach or take a vacation. The truth is, though, we need this time to relax. It\’s part of…
Note from Kate I make a point of paying attention to anyone who appears graceful under fire. There is so much to learn from people who are able to stay positive in difficult situations. I\’m not talking about people who use positive thinking as a way to skirt or deny difficulty. I\’m talking about people…
I learned after years of working my tail off that if I did not take care of myself one of two things was going to happen. Either I was going to lose my health or I was going to lose in terms of my results. Self-care became my battle cry where as before I would…
The day that I reached the 300k mark in my business I didn’t feel happy. I had been frequently attending fancy events staying in fancy hotels –you know the kind with really large water features, perfect gardens, and extremely polite staff –the kind who say “can I do anything else for you miss” right after…
I am not on top of the latest and greatest news the way that some people seem to be. I have a tendency to get things a little later than hot off the presses. However, I happened to watch the Bruce Jenner interview pretty much as soon as it was available. It was a fluke…
