I believe Kathleen’s most significant contribution was the consulting work she did with some of the individual managers. Kathleen worked with them on changing their attitudes and approaches to their responsibilities, so that they were more open to change and took an approach that emphasized personal accountability for driving change and producing results.

"Kathleen has developed an integrated coaching model for front-line and mid-level managers that links to strategic priorities, and drives change and business results.

She partners with the business executive to understand overall strategy and what are the important priorities the leadership team needs to focus upon to produce the desired outcome. Then, by way of superior coaching and consultative abilities, she partners with the leaders to improve skills and contributions.

Kathleen’s services have had a direct and sustained influence on workforce transformation activities in my business."
