Just a few days ago marked my 1yr anniversary with Kathy. I came to her confused, down, lost and with low confidence about my career path. WOW, what an awesome change she has brought to my life. Her ability to help me dig within and self reflect has changed my outlook on my direction and path at this point in my life. Also a new confidence instilled in me to get to where I want to go. Huge Thank You Kathy. You are a true blessing. Forever grateful for you. read more

I had the extreme honor of being coached by Kathy Nelson! When I first contacted Kathy, I had just transitioned from the corporate world, trying to build and establish my own business. I quickly realized I needed the support and coaching of someone who was an expert in their trade: That was Kathy Nelson. Very early on, Kathy became a prized mentor to me. Her wealth of knowledge and insight in business, and life in general, were and still are of great value to me. Kathy is not only an expert coach, but is also kind, understanding, compassionate, and empathetic, which are all amazing qualities that are very important to me. Kathy will forever be my go-to coach for any and all things life and business. Thanks again for everything, Kathy! read more

Today was my last session with Kathy. I think it's been a total of 8 meetings. I now have the ability to successfully go on an interview and own it. Since meeting with Kathy I've had one interview and aced it. It was as if I literally shut my eyes then opened and here it was, magic. Anyway, I got accepted and am now being fitted for a job at UCSD, a dream job in higher education. I'll keep ya posted as to what hat I'll be wearing next! read more

I would have never thought that the struggle and challenges that came from being a new mom, working full time and also trying establish a career would lead to some of the most unforgettable experiences that would ultimately lead to extreme fulfillment and happiness. But if you would have met me a few months ago, you may have picked up that I was bitter, annoyed, on edge, and for a lack of a better phrase, just, a walking b-i-t-c-h. If you don't believe me - just ask my husband! I blame some of this to hormones but also, I was frustrated because I was having a hard time understanding what I was trying to do, accomplish and be. I didn't have a plan... and for me, this is a big deal. Don't get me wrong, I can roll with the punches and be fluid, but if I don't have a plan, framework, or foundation to fall back on, then I just go insane. Now that I was married, with a newborn, and no plan for the next 10 years, 20 years... I was anxious and frustrated. I kept trying to make a plan but it just didn't come easy for me like it did when I was in my early twenties. I was determined to get over this darn "funk" and I did. One of the best decisions I made towards getting help was hiring Kathy as my coach. Kathy, really helped me to identify my values, gain clarity as to what is truly important to me while helping me achieve a realistic balance between all of the components of my life that make up "ME." In clarifying what it is that I want and how I want to get there, she was and has been instrumental in holding me accountable and on track! I'm sure there are many coaches out there but I personally admire Kathy because of her authenticity and lively spirit! Kathy is so genuine, fun, wise and professional. So what was it about Kathy that had me saying "yes?" * Well first of all, she was very fashionable with her bright coral nails, nice sandals and cute hair but secondly, she kept up with my thoughts and conversation and had brilliant comments to add and provided such wisdom at that initial consult that made me feel a whole lot better automatically. * She also had a plan and was organized in terms of what the next steps would be * There was something about Kathy's energy that told me this was the right thing to do In working with Kathy a little over 3 months I can finally say that I wake up every single day happy and look forward to the day. I'm happy with where I'm at and have a clear direction of where I want to go. My boss's boss even made a comment to me today and said," I just wanted to let you know that I've noticed a shift in you these past 3-4 months and I wanted you to know that others are seeing it as well. They are providing great feedback on how strategic you're being with clients and you're also very engaged. Just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job!" I have clarity, purpose and direction now. And most importantly... I'm not afraid anymore!!!!! I finally feel like the "life that I'm living is my message." Thank you Kathy for being your authentic self and providing your wisdom, experience and encouraging words!!! read more

I'm so thankful I found Kathy!! She is truly an amazing woman, who has the gift to help others help themselves. Highly recommend her services, my few visits with her were actually life changing. Too many details to go into here but she helped me manage, balance, transform both my professional and personal life. I took a break from coaching because things are going very well for me however it's nice to know I can always call Kathy should I need her services again. read more

I've known Kathy for nearly 20 years and she is one of the best coaches I've ever known. Prior to coaching she was extremely successful as both a salesperson and sales manager. So when she coaches people in the sales arena she has a lot of expertise and track record. In addition, her ability to get to the core blocks that people have in their business and life is exceptional. With so many people who call themselves coaches just because they can, Kathy also has the education and certification that gives her a tremendous edge over her competitors. In my previous company I referred her several of my sales staff and they all increased their production. In addition I also know four other individuals who have been coached by Kathy on life transition situations who rave about her methods. So in addition to her expertise in business coaching she also does great work in the life coaching arena. read more

Master Mind Ms. Kathy Nelson is a spectacular lifestyle business coach. I carefully selected her because she is a highly trained and experienced mentor who will guide you. She has developed many skill sets over time, and to save time, give her a telephone call right now. Her fees are quite reasonable compared to other "kumbaya" coaches. After several misfires and a drain on the pocketbook, other coaches lacked the business credentials. They could not keep up with me! Are you serious about entrepreneurship and launching your own startup? She is the one to engage head-on for all your personal and professional endeavors. read more

"I started working with Kathy in July 2013. At the time I was in a corporate job that I did not enjoy and, even though I was earning a good income, I was finding it harder and harder to go to work every day. My soul yearned to work on more creative projects of my own choosing. Within three months, I transformed my life to be much more inline with my values, my desires and my dreams. I honestly attribute this to Kathy's coaching and overall magical energy. She fanned my creative flames enough for my dreams to take flight. I honestly have more money in the bank than I did 3 months ago and I am doing what I love--while working from home. With practical step-by-step guidance as well as big picture envisioning, Kathy is a well-rounded resource for anyone who is ready to finally follow their bliss and go for what they really want in life. I give her a 5 star recommendation as a Life Coach." -- Patricia Lee Como, Writer, Copywriter Fort Lauderdale, FL read more

Kathy Nelson is an amazing, kind, insightful, caring & compassionate human being, and she brings all of that, and so much more, to her coaching work! I've utilized her services a number of times when I needed another perspective on business growth issues, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Her observational skills and insightful questions help to focus on solutions I was able to generate for myself. Her guidance is invaluable. She has a very broad spectrum of experience that I really value: which includes corporate, sales and entrepreneurial perspectives (you can look that up for yourself). I will be using her services more regularly in the coming year to help with my next expansion of services. I recently learned she also coaches by phone or Skype, etc. which now will make it much more convenient for me. I live and work in Encinitas, but not having to schedule even a "short" drive and to just be able to get on the phone or online, makes it so much easier; I look forward to bringing my colleagues in on our conference calls to collaborate on a new project together with her input. If you're needing help or considering coaching, I suggest you ask if she still offers a complimentary intro coaching session to see if it's a fit for you both... that's how I got to see her work. She is a one of a kind and, BTW, a true original: she's been coaching since before the "coaching" became an industry! I hope you get to experience the benefits of her work the way that I, and a number of my business associates, have. Thank you for your dedication to your clients' achievements, Kathy! read more

Kathy has been my coach for the past year. She has been an amazing force behind positive changes I needed for my practice.

Nice enough to give some tips to me via email even though she was not available to meet. I think that in my situation she could have opened up a few moments for a client. It speaks volumes when a business does not have any availability. It wasn't like I was not asked her to go author a memoir. 30 mins is nothing. read more

I have known and worked with Kathy Nelson for several years. Her knowledge and experience that she gained over the years translates perfectly into her coaching ability and style.
