Tonight was extraordinary and the Washington University students were buzzing about all the actionable tools you gave us to shoot for the moon! I can't even sleep I'm so motivated.

I cannot thank you enough. Your content and delivery were wonderful! Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not having you at Edward Jones numerous times. You're an inspiration, personally and professionally.
Kristen Johnson, Partner, Edward Jones
I was skeptical that you could direct us from over 60 personal vision statements to one unifying vision statement. I don't even have to ask, "How did you do that," because I saw it with my own eyes!

Kathy captured the audience and gave them some tools to work with, which will improve the quality of their lives. That's what the Women's Fund is all about!

This is the first time I have had an experience like this. It is an art to maintain 100% positive feedback. Inspiring.

I can't say enough great things. The facilitator was magnificent in his approach. Strategic with his questions, and gentle in his feedback, producing powerful, powerful results. Fantastic job!
