A lifelong journey to gain that
confidence for herself
As a recovering shy person, Kathryn understands firsthand the communication challenges presented when one lacks confidence. This has led her on a lifelong journey first to gain that confidence for herself, then to help others do the same. Kathryn teaches executives, speakers, and entrepreneurs how to control their nervous system, so it doesn’t control them, enabling them to achieve peak communication performance in high-stakes, high- pressure situations. This allows them to feel and convey confidence and charisma when they speak so they can connect & engage authentically with their ideal clients, audience, and team. Kathryn believes that anyone- whether they have stage fright or love an audience- can learn to shift one habit at a time so they can communicate with confidence, captivate their listeners, grow their business, & achieve their goals.

Testimonials
Kathryn did a fantastic job of engaging the audience with her interactive talk! She gave us practical tips that were easy to implement. She tailored her presentation to the needs of our group, and got great reviews from our attendees. I even have another member that wants to hire her to work with her company as a result of hearing her speak. Kathryn exceeded the high expectations we set for our speakers!
When Kathryn taught an experiential learning session for my Boston College MBA class on professional selling, she connected posture, breathing and other-orientation to elevate our abilities to be present and better listen to and help clients. In this session we all got to experience increased presence and awareness, and felt that we could access our questions and insights more effectively to help our clients.
“She put together this amazing program, and y’all, at the end of my keynote presentation, I received a standing ovation. And yes, I think I had a role in that, and the content was great, but it was Kathryn who helped me hone it so beautifully that that made that happen!”
