“I charged Kathryn with designing and delivering a year-long leadership program for emerging women leaders at Sungard AS. In seeking a partner for this project, I hoped to find someone who could quickly establish rapport with participants, who was relate-able, and who could easily draw on life and career experience when put on the spot. Additionally, I needed to be sure that this person would be open to me making adjustments along the way because I was personally invested in the project and wanted to contribute as much as possible to curriculum development. Though I had been through a similar program in 2011, I still learned a lot from Kathryn in the process of creating each session and found her naturally coaching me over the year we worked together. She saw my vision, improved upon it, and then delivered beyond what I had hoped. I am happy that she has agreed to deliver the program again in 2016; the participants are in good hands with her as a teacher and guide.

“Kathryn was the trainer for the WUI LEAD program I participated. Always prepared, she knew the program inside out and delivered it passionately and insightfully. I especially like her running interactive sessions through storytelling, group discussion, practicing, individual and peer coaching. She knew my training objectives well and ensured that they were fulfilled. I am still benefiting through her reaching out to former graduates. As evidenced by positive internal and external feedbacks, I have improved many skills, most notably in communication, networking and executive presence. I have no reservation to recommend Kathryn as trainer to anyone who desires to improve performance and advance career.”

- Chan Li, Director of Analytical Development at Lexicon

“We had the pleasure of working with Kathryn on a very involved initiative - the Verizon Women's Summit in February 2011. Kathryn was the keynote speaker and panel facilitator for a large scale event which was attended by several hundred people in our auditorium. We also broadcast the event worldwide to many of our locations. We provided participants with copies of Kathryn's book (Collaborative Competition) and used the tenets of her research as the basis for developing our capability around Collaboration. Kathryn was well prepared, extremely well received and we were very pleased with the results.”
