Testimonials and Quotes about Life Coaching - Nine Lives Coaching


What my clients say:

"Katey has helped me build a creative goal setting/achieving system that works. I will continue to use this process throughout my career and life. As a writer and self-publisher I was seeking encouragement and guidance from someone who understands the plight of the creative mind. Someone who's 'been there done that.' Katey has. Her understanding and friendly approach have helped move my ideas from dream to reality. She's truly a unique find."
-Laura Turner, www.violetprosepubs.com

"I'm a writer, and Katey became my life coach when I hit a major creative block. She helped me enormously with dissolving that block, but in the process, gently guided me to see, and address, the issues that had created the block in the first place. I never felt I was under any obligation to use her suggestions on the path she was helping me define for myself, and yet when I did, I immediately felt the difference in my life. The very best part about my sessions with her is that I felt like I was talking to a good friend, one with enormous clarity and perception. Her warmth, humor and acceptance made it easy for me to get straight to the heart of the problem and resolve it."
-JD

"Katey has been incredibly supportive of my creative dreams. She's willing to listen to my intentions to move not just to 'a bigger game' but out of the territory where 'bigger is better' and 'game' is an acceptable metaphor for life. I highly recommend her for any person whose aspirations don't fit into a conventional model of success. Katey is helping me pursue real change, not just minor modifications."
-BS

"Katey is calm, focused, and mentally organized, which has a contagious effect. She really took just one thing and asked a lot of good pertinent questions to help me break it down, and gave real, useful, and yet simple suggestions. I also appreciated it when she accepted that there were some things I knew would not work—it meant she was listening, and wasn't speaking from a place of absolute knowledge and certainty. That's good because it feels less like being told what to do as being gently guided along, taking an active part in the process, and having things organized. And we laugh together!"
-SS

"I never would have thought to turn to a life coach when I was wrestling with questions about both my career and my love life. But as it turns out, my coach was exactly what I needed—someone to ask pointed questions and delve into the emotions behind the decisions I was making in my life. Katey's coaching style, which is a mix of humor and tough directness, was a perfect mix when it came to helping me find the path that I needed to pursue."
-PH

"Katey has that uncanny knack for finding the spark that motivates me, the ability to help me acknowledge and overcome the obstacles I have created for myself, and the true gift of really listening to my needs. In just a few weeks of working together, she has already sharpened my life focus to an extraordinary degree. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to realize their true potential."
-LF

"I took one of Katey's free teleclasses last week, and am so glad I did. Not only was I able to collect a lot of useful information, but I also met up with a really neat person whose passion is helping people succeed on their way. Thanks, Katey!"
-FB

"Working with Katey has been a powerful way to start making significant changes in my life. She urges me to reflect more deeply on my life's choices, and in doing so, has empowered me to seek and ask for what I really want. Her encouragement has been consistent and respectful. I feel I can see the forest through the trees!"
-KC
