The Concept
It is about getting better than expected results. Results which don't make you feel like you can't face yourself in the mirror each morning. It is about helping you do what matters to you with depth, clarity and confidence. Coaching gives you the tools you need to remove the barriers to your business and personal success-whether self-imposed or not.
When you change-your business changes. When you leadership team changes-your employees change and your business thrives. Understanding and managing this transforms you and your business into the business community you seek.
The Promise

It is equally true of smaller companies like the Horn Group, PR firm in San Francisco and Szynskie Group, an electrical engineering company in Denver. It is not just about the money.
What you get is an honest appraisal of your abilities and talents, what you may want to change, a clear business strategy and time focused on you every week. The goal is to build in accountability for your promises and intentions providing you with a safe environment to deal the things that keep you up at night and implement the ideas which haven't found a home.

Katherine Carol has been doing life coaching for over 10 years. She developed an innovative approach to life planning which integrates contemporary learning strategies and recent research in brain development to help you get amazing results. She helps you take that quantum leap you've always wanted to take in your life. Her book, Tango: Dance of Self-Discovery, Fun and Simple Steps to Passionate Partnerships and Soulful Living, was written after many of the participants in her Self-Discovery seminar requested ways they could share the process with family, friends and business associates. Many were finding for the first time that they had clear goals for themselves and understood how their own belief systems shaped their decision making and their world.
Be careful-your life might really change and you might get what you really want. It happened to Ellen, formerly of South Dakota, who fell in love and moved to Ireland with a job after working with Katherine on her life plan!
Or Sam, who was an executive on his way to burn out and serious health concerns when he met Katherine. He got his three month severance plan just before a major company shake-up occurred. He knew what he wanted. He moved to a beach town and traveled the world following his heart. He cleared up old-non functioning patterns which sabotaged his decision making process and he finally learned to take care of business and him.
And then there is Joan, who was a successful trainer and consultant. She was single and thought she would always be that way. But she found through Katherine's life planning approach-a great husband. They relocated and she found she also wanted to become a mother. She and her husband became foster parents of three and just recently adopted the children. She couldn't be happier.
The Concept
"What do I want to do with my life?" "Why do I find myself stuck in the space between life and living?" "I have dreams; I just can't make them happen." These are some of the questions Katherine can help you answer. She doesn't answer them for you but her process helps you to find the answers yourself. As you go through life planning, you review the past, evaluate the present and design the future the way you want it.
Katherine is there to help you make it happen. Her coaching keeps you from making excuses that you don't have enough time for yourself. She helps you resist the idea that you have to take care of others before you take care of yourself. She believes your strength comes from making sure you are happy and then you give permission for others to be their best.
A Note To Managers And Executives
As you know, many employees work for a particular company or organization simply because they landed a job there. Many have given little thought to whether the job was right for them. Yet in today's fast-changing worlds, companies require their employees to perform at higher levels than ever before. Performance is affected by these conflicting employee dynamics. In order to achieve the high level of performance you desire, you often have to leave behind complex, ineffective reward systems and incentive programs, and find new ways of engaging employees.
When employees use Tango: Dance of Self-Discovery or you organization sponsors Katherine's coaching program, employees target what they want in their lives. It is much like a strategic planning process that gives companies clear direction. When people participate in both their own planning process as well as the organizations, your work environment transforms into a "we" culture from an "us versus them" one.
The Promise
You will discover more about yourself than you ever thought you could. You find this rather simple process is some of the hardest-but most fulfilling work you have ever done. If you want you can seek a more gentle side to life, eliminating things that donšt matter or want to make a radical shift, Katherine can help make the difference for you.
