Personal and Professional Life Coaching

Working with Kathie has been one of the best decisions I have made. I just wish I had considered looking for a personal coach a lot sooner in my career. I’m a nurse who moved into healthcare many years ago and had become frustrated with feeling I was not advancing and did not know how to advance myself now that I was in the later years of my career. Kathie’s personality and style on top of her level of knowledge and experience was the secret sauce that helped me to authentically look inside and pull out what it was I was struggling over and therefore what I wanted/needed to do going forward. The tools, exercises and genuine concern from Kathie has built resolve in me that is fueling much more than career advancement steps! 

About 2 years back I was at a point in my life where I wasn’t sure which direction to take my business in. We had been in business for about 5 years and were already established. However, I was very indecisive about what direction to go in. Within one month of working with Kathie we went from an office in my home to an office building with office personnel, sales reps and more construction employees. We also added a whole other division to our company. She helped me to clear out the clutter with simple daily disciplines that made things easier and simpler to achieve goals. Today our business is still growing and ever changing for the better. But the story wouldn’t be complete if I left out the personal growth that has taken place within my life. What I discovered through my work with Kathy is who I am as a person. I’ve discovered gifts that I have and that the only way we can have a fulfilled charged life is if we’re sharing our gifts with the world.

 In 2023, I was on the verge of failing my doctoral program, I struggled with procrastination, had lost my self-confidence, and needed help achieving a healthy work-life balance. Working with Kathie was one of the best decisions I made. Kathie is an excellent communicator, she listened to my concerns, helped me identify areas to focus on, and assisted me in creating a customized plan to have better structure in my life. Kathie is patient, non-judgmental, highly encouraging and a fantastic strategist. Kathie gave me the tools I needed to achieve the results I wanted. Since working with Kathie, I have more clarity in my goals, I am doing well in school, regained my confidence and I am managing my time better. If you need positive transformation in your personal or professional life, I highly recommend Kathie. The results are worth it!

For several years I dealt with feelings of dissatisfaction with my career path and the results of multiple life decisions that I had made during that period. My wife, feeling I needed some help, did some research and found Kathie. At the time I was apprehensive. I think of it now as a great gift that my wife gave me. In our time working together, Kathie was always ready with sound advice to deal with specific situations that came up. She also armed me with practical and easy to implement processes that allowed me to be more disciplined with my time and have better ways to communicate. I came away from our sessions with greater understanding of what I wanted, why I wanted it and ultimately what I had to do to get it. I ended up with a great new job with a lot of credit going to Kathie and what she taught me. 

Kathie helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and also, what aspects of my strengths I enjoyed performing. When I got an offer, Kathie and I talked it out and decided it wasn’t in alignment with my strengths and I declined the offer. Several months later, a position at the same company opened up that was a perfect fit for my skillset and the activities that energize me. Through talking with Kathie I was able to negotiate the outsourcing of a huge portion of the responsibilities that weren’t in alignment with my goals and also negotiate a 25% increase in salary. 

I recently launched a non-profit organization, and Kathie Iannuzzi was absolutely central to our success. Her expertise is as evident as it is diverse. Kathie is among the best listeners I've ever met. She urged me to describe my vision, and she then did a remarkable thing. She LISTENED to every detail. By this foundation alone, Kathie truly GOT what I was trying to do. That set me on the right track to success.  She'll help you to create your vision. 

Kathie came in to my life when I needed it most. I had just been fired from a job where I was badly harassed and wound up in another with a toxic culture and had needed guidance on how to navigate this tumultuous period in my life. One of the most important lessons she has taught me is to "live in the solution, not the problem" and by applying this in my job search, I was able to join a small business that has allowed me to flourish as a young professional. I always find that I learn something new from our coaching sessions that I'm able to apply in my life and am extremely fortunate to have her as apart of my journey. 

As a self-employed artist, I was struggling with time management and work-life balance, among other things. I often found myself overwhelmed and falling behind on the "nuts and bolts" business aspects of my work. Working with Kathie provided structure to stay grounded and organized. She helped me to match my career dreams with the necessary action steps to make them into reality. As a gifted listener who provides valuable insight, Kathie taught me many strategies that I have since implemented, and I am on a much more productive path since our work together.

Kathie has been instrumental in helping me develop and become more effective in leading our technology startup. Kathie's knowledge about how to manage complicated personalities, conflicting interests, and understanding the nuances of organizational behavior has really helped me to look at things from a new perspective. My ability to approach problems and consider a variety of solutions has improved using Kathie's methodologies. Kathie had helped me to challenge my own beliefs and is effective in holding me me accountable in growing into a leader of my full potential.
