Now We're Getting Somewhere
I’m Katie + I’m a certified life coach, and I’ve also been a management consultant at McKinsey and a product manager at a tech start-up. In other words: I know what it’s like to have a life that looks pretty good on paper, but doesn’t feel as good as I want it to.
I help my professional clients develop lives that are more meaningful, happy, and successful — and I want to share the same practical insights with you.
