Client Testimonials

“Taking the risk to create a business from scratch can feel daunting, especially following what felt like secure careers at various big brand-named companies. From P&L development to helping secure new business, she makes us feel like she’s got our back through every step and is always looking out for us – even when daydreaming!”

On top of empowering us through our business ventures, Katherine makes us feel seen, heard, and supported in ways that I wish I had felt when working in a corporate environment. Everything she does and says is in the best interests of our business. She simplifies our processes, helps us get out of our own way, and makes the most difficult of tasks seem easier to grasp.

With her, we personally feel unstoppable – like we cannot (and will not) fail.

— STACY MARTIN, PRINCIPAL, FLATIRON WORKS

“I've had the good fortune of working with Katherine for the past ten years. Since hiring her as my business coach, my company's revenue has increased dramatically.”

Katherine has helped me improve my company's marketing, build a better website, navigate contract negotiation, hire employees, and overall develop a consistent and healthy business.

Just as important, she's taught me how to steer my business through challenges with confidence, which gives me invaluable peace of mind as a solo entrepreneur.

And Katherine's wisdom is always delivered with kindness, empathy, and humor, making her a pleasure to work with.

— MEGAN HILL, CEO, PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITERS

Working with Katherine was very beneficial to me as a small business owner who is not savvy with marketing, especially social media.

“She gave me the structure and guidance I needed to create a presence that is truly my own, capture more attention from the right audience, and be specific about my strategy.”

She really held me accountable and helped me get to the next level!

— MICHELLE LEE, FOUNDER, TERRA VERA RETREATS (THE JOURNEY WORTH TAKING)

“Building a dream from scratch can be hectic but she helped me turn my dream into a reality.”

Katherine was able to organize my thoughts from the jump. Her organization skills allowed me to stay on task during a website build-out while simultaneously running my business operations. That wasn’t easy but she was there every step of the way. 

Katherine also has a way of listening to all of your ideas while taking notes, organizing them into action items and then works with you to add timelines. This allows you to sit back and create without boundaries.  

I’m forever thankful to Katherine for her guidance.

— JOY FENNELL, FOUNDER + CEO, THE FUTURE IN BLACK & THE ALL BLACK EVERYTHING SUMMIT

“There’s one thing to say, sure I want to be an 8-figure CEO.” And another to say okay how are you going to get there. 

I needed that extra little, “Okay, let’s go in and unpack each one of those and really let’s look at how can we make that possible.” Then to actually write those numbers down. And that's something I have never done.

What you took me through was so helpful, because it went from the big, hairy goal to, “I think I could actually do this.” And bouncing it off you, do you think this is really doable?

I would do a VIP strategy day every 6 months. It just makes complete sense to me. I’ve been an entrepreneur now for 15-20 years, so I am a self-starter. But you do need that person and that personalized, bespoke approach.”

— LYNETTE TURNER, TRANSFORMATION COACH

“Katherine has been incredibly helpful in encouraging me to take a high-level look at my business, while also being able to recognize the smaller details that have impacted both my revenue, and my efficiency — how I'm managing my time and resources.”

With her guidance, I've been able to identify opportunities for growing the brand, fine-tune my existing products and create new ones, tighten my marketing approach, and also identify areas where I was losing revenue by investing in marketing resources that weren't producing a return. She also brings a good eye for the visual aspects of branding and the impact it has on my overall site traffic, which is a core concern for me as a web-based business.”

— DANA LEAVY-DETRICK, OWNER, BROOKLYN RESUME STUDIO

“A fairy godmother for businesses, especially as a women-owned agency.”

Katherine is a remarkable force that empowers, supports, and brings a sense of joy to our agency’s journey.

Through her guidance, we have gained invaluable tools, resources, and unwavering support needed to get our business to where it is today. She has been instrumental in equipping us with the necessary skills to navigate the challenges and seize every opportunity that comes our way.

Katherine encourages us to push our boundaries and holds us to a higher standard, allowing us to grow, personally and professionally. She regularly shares resources with us and continually provides us with innovative ideas for additional offerings that will benefit both our present and future clientele.

Undoubtedly, working with Katherine has been the most transformative investment we have made for our business.

— MACKENZIE PERNA, CO-FOUNDER, SUN & SOL CO.

“A few years ago, I embarked on a shift in my business where I felt I needed someone outside of myself to strategically help me pivot.”

I was recommended Katherine via a dear friend, and not only did she successfully guide me in gracefully exiting a chapter of my life, but she also held space for me emotionally as I peeled back the layers on what I truly wanted. 

Working with Katherine was above and beyond what I expected- we played with joy, desire, personal vs business interest, and something that was very important for me to understand, which how to listen to what I wanted and needed. She was a sounding board for my contradictions that I didn't know I was making and was a source of encouragement for ideas and dreams that I wasn't sure how to bring to life. Her strong suits are not limited to what I just mentioned, but also in copywriting, editing, and in how to forward face my business' presence.

My time spent working with her is eternally valuable for where I am going in life and when I need a little pick me up or guidance again, I will most definitely be circling back to working with her. As I closed my physical brick and mortar with her help, I have now successfully pivoted into maintaining a successful career as a celebrity hairstylist and entrepreneur.
