"After years in my industry and a business partnership that dissolved prior to the pandemic, the thought of pivoting within my career was daunting. After coming across Kathy's profile on LinkedIn, I was intrigued by What's Your Story? and it made me think about my own. During our exploratory call, I immediately knew her expertise and guidance would become the beacon of hope and direction I desperately needed. Through a combination of personalized coaching sessions, actionable insights, and honest reflection, Kathy helped me navigate the complexities of changing careers in the latter part of my professional journey. She equipped me with the confidence to identify my passions, strengths, and redefine my professional narrative."
"What sets Kathy apart is her ability to listen deeply and tailor her advice to fit the situation and goals you set forth from the beginning. She was always there to offer encouragement, celebrate each victory, no matter how small, and provide constructive feedback to keep me moving forward. Choosing Kathy as my career coach was the best decision I could have made for my professional development. I am now in a role that not only leverages my strengths and experience but also aligns with my core values and offers room for growth and learning. I highly recommend Kathy Schwab and her ability to help you achieve your own personal and professional goals."
"Kathy's coaching and support helped me get through a difficult life transition in a profound way. She helped me recognize and dismiss my own limiting beliefs and helped me see the possibilities. It was liberating! With that came confidence and the realization of the power that I have to create the life I want to live. Without Kathy, I may have never gotten to this very content and happy place, and I am eternally grateful."
"Working with Kathy as my life coach has been an experience that has not only helped me professionally, but also personally and spiritually. She's the type of coach who gives me clear, honest feedback and provides another perspective, all the while allowing me to be my true, unfiltered self. Kathy is incredibly gifted at helping me set up gameplans I'm then able to use outside of our sessions to succeed in both work and life. She's helped me with everything from nailing a big interview, to building better habits, to resolving personal conflicts. What I had thought would be strictly a professionally-focused coaching relationship has turned into so much more. Kathy is a true source of knowledge and power for many other facets in my life. No matter what you need to work through, Kathy is equipped with the tools and the compassion to help guide you."
"I was surrounded by so much darkness in my life and didn't know if I could ever see the light again, until I met Kathy. Kathy is a bright light that everyone needs in their lives. Her positivity, guidance, and transparency are some of the key ingredients in her coaching. She pushed me to really open up and live my best, authentic life. I always felt like I was talking to a close friend, and her exercises really helped me reach my goals. I highly recommend this beautiful soul as a coach."
"Kathy was a great partner to me at a pivotal time in my life and career. Eighteen years ago, I co-created a training program to reduce the impact of racism. For nearly two decades I and teams of trainers presented it to thousands of participants. As I was preparing to retire, it was vital for me to capture the purpose, rationale, strategy, methodology, insights, and data from those 18 years into a training manual for a new set of trainers. Kathy was able to draw that out of me, and so much more. She opened my eyes to the stories behind the training, both in my life and in the lives of the young people who had been its impetus in so many ways. Together, Kathy and I were able to document not just the intellectual capital, but the stories. Including my own. Kathy is one of the most insightful, encouraging and supportive people I've ever worked with."
