My relationship with Kay goes all the way back to 2007. As the Professional Development Coordinator at the local child care resource and referral agency, I worked with presenters in developing training for education professionals. I participated in many of the programs that Kay presented for our agency. Over the years I learned so much: to look for competencies, not just content knowledge in hiring staff; how to work with people of varying personalities; and how to lead teams to name just a few. In March 2014 I attended one of Kay’s public programs, “Kick Start Your High-Heeled Success”. I was hooked! I purchased Kay’s book and knew I could make a difference in what I was doing and how I could work with others. I discovered pretty quickly it wasn’t enough. I attended a couple more programs, always wanting more. I learned about Kay’s coaching program and signed up for a 1-hour trial session. I wanted to sign up for a year but couldn’t pull it off myself. After 2 years, I approached my supervisor about working with Kay as part of my annual professional development. I remember saying, “I will give up going to state conferences for the year if I can just work with Kay.” I was approved and the coaching began. Coaching with Kay has been a journey of self-discovery. While I had the content knowledge of being a strong leader all along, I needed the specific skills and confidence to make it happen. Since I began working with Kay I have shifted my leadership in small and vast ways. I am growing to be a thought leader by being more creative and strategizing in new ways. My perspective on the importance of processing and analyzing interactions has changed dramatically. I spend more time reflecting on what I want and what I need in my work. I involve my team in big-picture thinking to improve programming. As a point of evidence, most recently I led a team of 15 staff to plan, coordinate and carry out a conference event for leaders in our area. From start to finish, everyone had their assignments and worked together to provide a successful event. Kay walks along with you as a coach. She knows just what to ask to take you to the next step. She allows reflection while keeping you motivated to take the action needed to go the extra mile. If you have been considering working with a coach, today is the day! You will not be disappointed in what Kay can help you become. Kay’s personal and professional style is second to none. She detects your needs and then guides you to success. Kay has taught me that it just takes one little step at a time to make a huge difference. I have had a couple of very close mentors in my life and Kay is at the top of the list. If you are doubting yourself today or have a dream to fulfill and want to reach the top, you have to contact Kay. She will help you get there!
