Testimonials

Katherine was a dream to present with. She naturally kept the process fun from start to finish. The audience clearly resonated with her knack for presenting complex content in an easily relatable way. Katherine uses storytelling and real world examples to highlight major points so her talk is as entertaining as it is informative. Our attendees had a fun time and walked away with usable and actionable ideas.

Katherine's presentation was the highlight of the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) 2024 Pacific Regional Conference (PRC). Not only does she possess a wealth of knowledge, she is also a charismatic speaker. I found her presentation so gripping that it empowered me to share my findings with my firm’s leaders to determine how best to apply the concepts within my company. If Katherine is presenting, I’m there!

On my first day on the job as Director of Business Development for an engineering firm, the CEO told me that part of my new role would entail managing culture and communication for an acquisition that was in the works. My first thought: “Fun!” My second thought: “I may need a little help.” 

Thankfully, Katherine answered the call. Her guidance, insights and diplomacy made all the difference in successfully bringing our two companies together. She asked all the right questions of employees; presented the data in a way that allowed us to move forward on a deadline; and facilitated efficient, engaging meetings between firms. And the bow that tied it all together: her kindness, making sure that all voices were heard even while difficult decisions were being made.

As VP of Marketing at Coffman Engineers, I was looking for a way to pinpoint areas for improvement for the Coffman marketing department. We hired Katherine to conduct a thorough, holistic audit of the marketing department, including our team structure, processes, products, and systems. She compiled quantitative, qualitative, and anecdotal data into topics and themes, and she offered actionable recommendations for improvement. We enjoyed working with Katherine on this audit so much - and the result she produced - that we asked her to help us figure out how to implement the audit recommendations by facilitating a strategic planning process for the marketing team.

I have consistently relied on Katherine when faced with complex projects with clients. Her ability to conceptualize and implement streamlined processes and procedures has been instrumental in developing strategic, business, marketing, and communications plans. Together, we have successfully developed strategies and frameworks that are not only easy to implement but also enhance operational efficiency.

My team had never gone through a facilitated strategic planning process prior to working with Katherine. We were unsure of exactly what to expect. To say Katherine delivered is an understatement. She led us through a highly tailored planning process that engaged everyone in the room. It was obvious to the team that Katherine thoroughly understood our company, our team, and overall best practices and lessons-learned from across our industry. The result of the strategic planning session was an executable plan and strategy with big, attainable goals. The plan continues to be actively implemented 18 months later. One senior level Coffman team member complimented Katherine by saying, "This is the best strategic planning process I've ever been involved with."
