Kathy’s first job was working at Nordstrom’s department store. This is where she
learned the value of extraordinary customer service. As a single mother, in 1978, she
moved from Seattle, WA to San Diego, CA and spent the next two decades in corporate sales and marketing with a few years as a San Diego County Sales  Manager
and then as V.P. Senior Business Development Specialist. Kathy reached National Top
Gold level in the President’s Club – which netted a two-week voyage to her choice of
destination anywhere in the world!
In 1996, Kathy took the leap of passion and faith, by leaving the corporate umbrella
and going from the security of a healthy six figure income to zero.
Kathy Nelson was on the cutting edge of the coaching movement when she founded
San Diego, CA-based, On Track Success Coaching & Consulting and created the
Passionate Life Approach. As someone who has fallen down and come back stronger
more times than she can count; wherever her clients are, she’s been there and back.
Kathy says, “And, if I can do it, certainly anyone can.”
After starting her own coaching practice in March 1996, she was certified as a Co-
Active Coach in October 1998 with Coaches Training Institute. She attended the
Vancouver and the San Jose ICF conferences taking classes all day for the duration.
Always one to walk the talk, Kathy had a business coach for the first year of her
practice and even coached with Jodi Jan, Shirley Anderson (as part of her Coaching
Salon Group) and took many extra classes with Thomas Leonard and Dave Buck at
Coachville. She built her coaching practice business over the past decade and has
logged hundreds of coaching hours and thanks to her continued work leading
teleclasses she’s coached thousands of people. This does not take into account her
one-on-one coaching through which she has coached hundreds of her own clients over
the last 10 years.
Kathy’s credentials are unparalleled. She was a coaching teleclass leader for By
Referral Only (BRO), a national coaching/training company, for almost 5 years. She
developed BRO’s online classes for Strong Foundation, Time & Planning, Visioning,
Basic Business and financial planning. She has studied with Jim Rhone, Jack Canfield, Brian
Tracy, Tony Robbins, Tommy Hopkins, Louise Hay, Terry Cole Whittaker, Dr. Paul
Brenner, Dr. Christian Sorensen, Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith (seen on The Secret), Productive Learning &
Leisure and many other fine motivational and inspirational leaders. She is regularly
hired by companies to support improving their employee’s performance, team
participation and contribution.
But, it doesn’t stop there. This past president of Business Network International has
tons of media credits. She was honored as the Best Life Coach in San Diego by the
San Diego Reader Magazine, published nationwide through Copley Press, quoted in the
March 2006 Good Housekeeping magazine, a regular guest on radio shows and news
segments including Channels 7, 8 and 10 and a guest on The Leeza Gibbons Show.
Kathy ignites and fuels her passion by helping people identify their values and
strengths and weave important things into their lives. She helps her clients build
successful, satisfying careers and measurably improve their job satisfaction and
performance.
