My own life and professional journey has been one of significant changes and transformations. Having worked in the area of transformative learning for many years, provides a powerful basis for my professional and life coaching services.

"When I talk with people, I can see their potential and their
possibilities sometimes with much greater confidence than they do!"
-Dr. Kathy King 9/09

In part, this quote illustrates how my expertise in adult development and change is such an asset to my clients. I thoroughly enjoy serving my coaching clients even as I continue working in my otehr active professional roles.

In everything I do I am passionate about supporting people in reaching their dreams.I find that coaching is a wonderful way to walk alongside people in their complex professional and personal life journeys and help them enjoy the continuing transformations they want for their lives!

I use our time together to help people clarify their goals and dreams, to develop a plan and strategies to reach it and finally to overcome the barriers that have held them back previously. Great coaching is drawing success from within the person to the outside for them and the world to see!

Many of my faculty clients also incorporate coaching and training in areas they have been seeking to learn: organizational skills, technology, distance learning, publishing, and more. As we develop your plan, we identify timelines for the goals and skills you need and we provide training or referrals to meet those needs. Many professionals and faculty have found this to be a powerful combination of services for them.

I look forward to discussing the possibility of working with you as that guide and unwavering support to help you reach the next levels of success you desire so much.
