“Working with Katrina has helped me begin to create a path toward my next job opportunity. With her thoughtful questions and supporting resources, she has helped me cut through the mental clutter and swirl of indecision. As an added bonus, I can now effectively articulate my strengths! After each of our sessions, I have something concrete on which to work. I am now less overwhelmed and actually excited about future opportunities.” Deputy Director, MPH, Health Resources & Services Administration
“One of my coaching goals was to better recognize my strengths. As a man working in data science, I needed to understand how to talk about my non-technical skills. Katrina helped me work though a number of assessments and identify the common factors I should identify in interviews. She also helped me work through some challenging situations.” Ken A., Senior Policy Analyst
“Talking to someone outside of my professional network gave me a neutral perspective on my circumstances and dilemmas. Katrina is a patient listener, kind, smart, and able to infuse humor at just the right level. She was extremely well prepared for each session, and very willing to deviate from plan when needed. Thinking about our career trajectories, working on long-term career plans is something we don’t make the time to do. Katrina is the perfect guide on your journey to do this for yourself.” Mehz H., MS, PMP, Technology Industry
“I appreciated Katrina’s thoughtfulness during our sessions. She actively listened to what I had to say and drew connections between thoughts that I was too ‘in the weeds’ to see. I liked that she gave me exercises to chew on between sessions, which made the ‘off’ periods more productive.” Meg T., Ph.D., Senior Researcher
“Katrina is an enthusiastic coach and wonderful listener who acts as a practical career sounding board. Drawing upon her own federal experience as senior leader, she understands the challenges unique to government. During our coaching sessions, Katrina helped me discover strategies and tactics for moving from a reactive to proactive space at work. These techniques allow me to clearly focus on my priorities while calmly managing chaos rather than reacting to it. Katrina’s guidance has made me a happier and more productive employee and helped me develop further as a leader within my organization.” Brooke D., Office of the Assistant Secretary of Policy & Evaluation
“Of the many helpful attributes Katrina brings to her role as an executive coach, the one I was most impressed by was her ability to take what I told her—at times disparate statements and feelings—analyze and synthesize them, and respond with thoughtful, insightful guidance and ideas. In just a short time, and entirely over the phone, Katrina understood me, where my career currently is and where I want it to be. At the end of our sessions, I felt inspired and excited, eager to use the tools Katrina shared with me to explore future opportunities.” Anna B., Public Media
“Katrina and I have worked intensely together for nearly a year, from preparing for job interviews, to navigating my first 90 days of a new leadership position, to practicing for high stakes presentations, to building leadership strategies for guiding the development of complex technical projects in a heterogeneous organization. Throughout this time, Katrina’s practical coaching insights, organizational savvy, and astute technical insight have been invaluable.” Senior Leader, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
