Inspiring, motivating and considered 'a secret weapon'! I am humbled by such a reference, however, there is no secret about my passion and ability to respond positively to clients who are troubled or stuck. Helping clients make positive changes in their lives is a passion. In my various roles as careers consultant and coach, workshop educator and trainer, I have successfully provided professional advice in personal coaching and career management to clients who come from a range of ages and backgrounds. I have worked in the educational sector as well as well as consulting privately with individuals and organisations. Over this period, I have kept up-to-date with innovative and proven strategies and practical solutions to support clients make successful transitions in their career and life goals. Clients have commented about their experiences with me. 'When I first contacted Kathy, my life was in crisis...I was stuck, confused. Kathy is warm and insightful...an outstanding coach. Our coaching sessions are relaxed, extremely informative and productive. I appreciate her positivity and enthusiasm for life. Kathy challenges me...is always supportive. She is my 'secret weapon.' Chris K, Townsville 'I found Kathy to be a great support as I contemplated my next career move and navigated the job search process. It stood out to me how available Kathy makes herself in offering assistance and encouragement ...,including checking in and providing feedback and advice. She made a clear effort to tailor her approach to what was most suitable and useful for me, not only with respect to my goals but also regarding my personality and work style. I appreciated how holistic Kathy's approach was, ensuring we considered my objectives. As well as helping me to identify my preferences, strengths, and general aptitude, Kathy provided me with numerous tools... in handling difficult career and life choices.' Alix H.
