Katy has an amazing natural ability for guiding her clients to identify their uniqueness.

The material is already within us and she brings it to the surface so we can communicate it clearly with others. It is a relatively fast process and I wish I started this work years ago. She believes in endless possibilities for my business and in life. She is the energy and light we all need in business.

Thanks to Katy I have great insight into the one area I have struggled with...

and that is how to "codify" outward my differentiated skill set as an attorney...and human being.

Katy was incredible to work with. She's bright, funny, dynamic, and ALWAYS has a smile on her face.

She has the unique ability to use both her analytical/attorney mind and her creative mind in order to effectively strategize and deliver a message that is penetrable and well received by the target audience. I look forward to working with her on my next project!

What can I say- working with Katy isn’t work, it’s a personalized expedition into what makes you tick so that your business ticks for you.

I really do feel that I’ve gained not only a new perspective on not only how I work and run my business but why I do it and most importantly what needs to change. Katy’s energy and grace are contagious- don’t miss the chance to catch some for yourself.

Roya Hough, JD

Working with Katy was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career, and for myself.

I was overwhelmed and not sure what my next step should be. Katy brought me back to the basics - what is it that makes me “me”, and how do I get that across to someone else. I am now much more confident in who I am, and am more willing to take a risk in my career, and in life, because I know my strengths and weaknesses better, and have trust in myself and my abilities. I wouldn’t be where I am without putting in the work that I did with Katy.

You made me “rethink” my story...

and how it perfectly applied to what I do now, both personally and professionally. I keep throwing out your name as the trigger for this “new” approach on my past, present and future. Always will be thankful for that.

Katy has helped me get more clarity into my strengths and how best to utilize them.

She has helped me define my personal brand and be aware of consistently showing up aligned with it. My success at this was reflected in a recent review that literally used adjectives to describe me that were my brand adjectives! I've also found her coaching about impactful communications invaluable. I have more confidence now than ever in having sometimes difficult conversations and have become more effective in marketing myself.

Branding bootcamp helped me to discover my brand.

Working with you in my first three years of practicing law is a decision that I am really proud of. Branding bootcamp helped me to discover my brand. And it was really a treat to spend one on one time shopping with you! You taught me how to communicate my personal brand with the partners that I was working for at the time. I stopped feeling intimidated in professional settings and now I truly look forward to networking. What I will never forget, though, is that I was wearing one of the dresses that you picked out for me when I met my now husband of five years. I’ll never forget how that dress made me feel. Thank you for everything!

Katy has helped me completely restructure my business in a way that I could have never done alone.

I started Bootcamp & 1:1 with Katy in the height of the pandemic. It seemed like a good time to focus on the business side of being a lawyer. I was at a crossroads & maybe a breaking point when we connected. I was exhausted, bewildered. My bandwidth was stretched so tight I thought I was going to snap. I was petrified because I wasn’t sure I could afford to commit to the level of service I needed, but I knew I had to face my business transition head on. Now or never. What if this is a waste? What if I spend this money during a pandemic & there’s no return? Thank God I did it. Katy has helped me completely restructure my business in a way that I could have never done alone. She saw things in me & didn’t know existed. She extracted my good & helped me minimize the rest. She kept me focused by being pragmatic, sincere, and truly vested in my mission. She was never pushy, but always encouraging and compelling. Now, a year & a half later, I have successfully transitioned my business to what I WANT it to be. I control my business, my clientele, my image. My business doesn’t control me anymore. My decisions are deliberate. But I’m not done w/ her yet. We’ve got more good work to do. Katy, thank you. I’ve hit many significant milestones w/your help. This isn’t just about my image, branding & business. This is about my long-term quality of life. I’m so grateful for you.
