As a Coach, she probes, listens and offers constructive insight and advice. During our coaching sessions, she has helped me to identify and clarify my goals. KC truly wants you to win at whatever you are trying to accomplish. She has helped me during difficult situations by helping me put the problems into perspective and she supports you when you have to make those difficult decisions. She asks the questions and helps you find the answers. I have come to realize that my professional and personal growth has accelerated at warp speed since I have been working with KC as my Success Coach. At the end of each session, I feel enlightened and enriched and am very grateful for the time I spend with KC. Afterwards, I am ready to participate in the game of life. You can depend upon KC as your Coach because she will always be there to support you. My partners and I have also hired her to assist our company with employee evaluations, planned and conduct our company retreat day, helped us with our strategic planning and exit strategy for our owners, etc. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, positive, enthusiastic, innovative and very helpful. A pleasure to work with on all counts. I highly recommend her coaching services." Sincerely, Phil Kimball, Owner/Broker ReMax Realty One, Maine

INDIVIDUAL & BUSINESS CLIENTS:

Finding balance - How to balance their very hectic work life with their home/family/personal life is a big one. Many business people are working long hours, they are very busy/exhausted with little time for their families or personal goals.

Stress Management - Many have high-stressed jobs/lives how to reduce stress, avoid burn-out, and put work issues into perspective; work hard, play hard, get a lot done, yet still enjoy the work. Happy employees are productive ones.

Self-care - Needing reassurance, encouragement and helpful hints on how to focus on themselves for a change and that giving time for yourself and your goals/dreams/hobbies is not selfish, but important self care. Especially women, single parents and caregivers look for this.

Coaching focuses on your present and future. This is not counseling or therapy. It’s an interactive, confidential partnership to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Professional coaches provide encouragement, inspiration and resources to empower their clients. It is so rewarding to work with my clients as they grow and achieve fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. With close to 200 hours of advanced coaching training from Coach University, KC provides support to enhance the skills and creativity that the client already has, clarify their vision of success, explore possibilities, determine next steps based on their own priorities and values and help them move forward into positive action.

“KC provided professional coaching to me in the areas of clarifying my goals and articulating my services to the marketplace. Our work helped me identify roadblocks to success. Once identified; I was able to acknowledge them, exercise "choice" to move forward and more easily plot a future course of action. KC listened deeply to what I said and what I didn't say. Finally, she challenged me to "get out of my own way". Today, I am living and working on my own terms!”
