Unlock Your Team's Full Potential Through Understanding

I've always been fascinated by how people work. Not just what they do, but how they think, how they communicate, and how they show up when things get hard.

That curiosity led me to organizational behavior, Myers-Briggs, and 360 feedback. It's also what drives the work I do today with leadership teams, HR professionals, and organizations that want to grow their people, not just manage them.

Hi, I'm Kathy

Now based out of Denver, CO, I help teams who aren't looking for a one-size-fits-all solutions. Every team has its own dynamics, every leader has their own challenges, and every organization has its own culture.

So I start by listening. I ask questions. I research your industry and your team before we even meet. Then I tailor everything I do to fit what you actually need, not what a training manual says you should need.

I also believe in keeping things real. I use humor, I share stories, and I make space for honest conversations. Growth doesn't happen in a sterile training room. It happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves and curious enough to try something new.

My Philosophy

"The most authentic people do not show you their superpowers, they show you yours."

— Matt Gottesman

That quote sums up how I see my work. I'm not here to be the expert who tells you what's wrong. I'm here to help you and your team see what's already right, and then build on it.

I believe in:

Understanding over judgment. People aren't problems to fix, they're people to understand.
Hope over negativity. Clients come to me because they want to improve, not because they want to be told everything's broken.
Confidentiality and trust. Real growth requires real honesty, and that only happens when people feel safe.
Using feedback as a tool for growth. The best insights come from the people who work with you every day.
