>> For years, I wondered what was wrong with me. I would take classes and courses, do training program and seminars. I knew the information was right, and I would leave thinking that I would implement everything I learned because it was such great information.
But it would be weeks, or even months after the conference, and I would realize, that, once again, I hadn’t taken the steps I needed to in order to accomplish what I believed God was calling me to.
After talking with some of my most focused and successful friends, I finally realized – I wasn’t broken. My plan was.
You see, I imagined that everyone else was going home, locking their door, hunkering down in front of their computer, and powering through all the materials from their latest seminar.
And that works for some people.
But for many of us, we perform better, work harder, and more often hit our goals when we are a part of a group.
I am one of those people.
I crave the feedback that a group can give me on my plans, and creative ways to implement them.
I need structure provided by someone who has walked this road before and can help me figure out how to navigate the difficult parts.
I need a group of people who are going through the same process I am, so I feel less crazy when things get hard.
I need an expert to let me know that I’m not wasting my time.

Coaching Testimonials >>
As a leader in my industry, there are times when I need advice and wisdom from someone who isn’t in the middle of what’s going on in my world. I consider Kathi Lipp my ‘go-to coach’ as she never ceases to give me wise counsel and direction. She is clear-headed, straight talking and has the ability to see what I sometimes can’t, and therefore, provides the direction I need. If you are a leader, speaker or author who requires someone to help you stay focused and directed, I HIGHLY recommend you call Kathi. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
I have admired Kathi as a speaker, writer, and podcaster for a while. Discussing my own speaking and blogging career with my husband, I lamented a feeling of being lost in the sea of cyberspace. If only I knew someone who was ahead of me on this journey. Someone who can say they’d been there, done that, made mistakes, found things that work, and can guide me on a path to success. Enter Kathi.
Being coached by her has been a wonderful hands-on experience. She’s open and honest about her journey and full of resources. One of the greatest things is watching her work her business because she practices what she preaches.
Feeling overwhelmed, I called Kathi for help when I found myself bogged down in the process of writing my second book. After a phone conversation, she helped me create and organize a plan for moving forward. Over the course of six or eight weeks, Kathi helped me to get unstuck and set reasonable, doable writing goals while helping to keep me accountable for my deadlines. Not only did I get the book done, but my professional relationship with Kathi encouraged me and empowered me to write a book I am very proud of.
