Are you struggling to successfully supervise your staff? Do you want to become a stronger leader but don't know where to begin? You are not alone!

But it does feel lonely, doesn't it?

* No one is helping you.

* There is no one to talk to.

* You are doing your best, but you feel lost.

* You know you can do better but you don't know where to begin.

I've been there, done that, and created this course on it!

When I first became a supervisor, I did not receive any training, coaching or support. I was sent on my merry way, but there was nothing merry about it. I felt overwhelmed, lost and like a complete failure. I wanted to do better but I had no idea how. I knew there had to be a better way and I have spent over a decade finding it. I am so excited to share this better way with you!

It is not your fault that you have not received the support you need.

In fact, the majority of leaders never receive any training, coaching or support. It's no wonder so many people are struggling!

What if you did have the training and support you needed?

How would that feel?

What could you accomplish?

With the right tools, support and commitment, there is no limit to what you can do.

Effective leadership, like any skill, takes time to develop. Nobody is born knowing how to do it. It takes commitment, investment and support. That's why I created this course!

After going through my own transformation from a struggling supervisor to a thriving leader, I have helped hundreds of others do the same. This course combines personal experience, research and best practices to support you through that process so you too can transform from a struggling supervisor to a thriving leader.

My Last Client Paid me $5,000 to Transform from Struggling to Thriving

Now she is thriving and helping her own team thrive too!

When I first started working with Allison, she was frustrated, exhausted and defeated. She had been a supervisor for over a decade and never received any training or support. She was really struggling and was ready to give up.

The first thing we did was set up a strong foundation for her leadership success. We explored the essential role of mindset and how to adopt a leadership one.

Next I helped her assess her desire to be a leader and clarify her leadership vision.

Then I helped her establish her leadership presence and create buy-in with her team.

After establishing that foundation, we worked on prioritizing and developing the skills she needed to be successful.

Finally, we developed a plan for her continued growth and the continued development of her team.

After working together, Allison has regained her confidence, increased her effectiveness as a leader and is enjoying her work again. She is also using what she learned to support her team in their own leadership development!

What I admire about Katherine is that she never gives up and always wants to improve as an employee but also as a person."  

I am Grateful for the Opportunity to Work with Katherine

Samantha N.

"I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Katherine. Through her coaching and resources, I was able to develop, enhance, and refine my leadership skills. We worked on many aspects of leadership to include, feedback, leadership style, and changing unwanted behaviors. Katherine not only coached me on my own leadership ability, but on working with the leadership team that manages me. Katherine’s professional, calm, and positive approach during sessions truly allowed me to feel this was a safe space to learn and grow and really open up. Not only have I noticed a change in my leadership since my sessions, but my management team has mentioned it to me as well. I am thankful to Katherine for this wonderful opportunity."
