What Clients have said about KATHY NELSON
If anyone has the kind of courage and wisdom that
it takes to follow their dreams and create miracles, it’s you! Thank you
for helping me focus on what is truly important in my life. You inspire
me!
Elaine, Realtor and Office Owner
Kathy Nelson has been my personal coach for more than two years. She
is incredible. Better than a therapist (and not as expensive...), her
unique style allows for complete integration of personal development in
every area of life. Kathy's coaching style allows you to set goals that
are important to you, and then has an accountability factor to keep you
on track. Since working with Kathy I have doubled my income and work only
twenty five hours a week. But most importantly I have noticed the quality
of my life improve dramatically. I am fully conscious walking through
life and my make choices that are based around my goals and values. I
would highly recommend Kathy to anyone who wants to see dramatic results
in a very positive and caring atmosphere.
Mary Lou, Real Estate Professional
I worked together with Kathy through two life transitions. I was feeling
trapped in a job that paid well and had lots of prestige, but that frankly
bored me. Kathy and I worked together to identify my values and goals,
which allowed me to see what was missing. Kathy's enthusiasm and positive
attitude supported me while looking for the best possible job fit. In
3 months, I applied for and got my dream job: more interesting, better
paying, and with a promotion to boot. It was the best possible outcome!
The second life transition was becoming pregnant. My husband and I are
expecting our first baby soon, and we are truly thrilled. Kathy worked
with me to balance my life for our big event. I am very thankful that
I've settled into "the job" and can now concentrate my energies on building
our family.
Happy Client S.S. in San Diego
I looked forward to my weekly sessions with you and saw my life improving
as a result of the work we did together. You taught me how to be clear
about my values and my purpose in life and gave me beautiful tools, such
as treasure mapping and creative visualizations, which I can use for a
lifetime to continue this work. I feel you really care about me as an
individual and about my success in life. I highly recommend you a Success
Coach to anyone who wants to move his or her life forward in a happy,
productive, successful direction. Like me, you will consider yourself
lucky to have found her.
Valerie, Personal Fitness Coach and Optometrist Office Manager
You woke me up! Your astute questions helped me to see where I want to
go. My life will be vastly improved from this moment on.
Heather, Appraiser
From misery and mediocrity to maximum life enjoyment, I really believe
you can help anyone enjoy life more. To prove it, I sent you my wife and
my mother-in-law to coach! With your help and support, I have completed
my MBA as well and started an on-line business. What’s next?
Scott, Bank Manager
Coaching is like falling in love with you over and over again. Kathy
helps me expand my vision of my goals and myself. I found changing my
life did not actually have to be a painful process.
Norma, Insurance Consultant
You have helped me metaphorsis from an ant to an eagle. I soar! We have
identified my goals based on my personal and professional needs and wants.
With your help, I have been able to implement a marketing program that
is producing the results I desire. I have significantly increased my business
and expect continued growth. It is a pleasure to work with you and I look
forward to a long coaching relationship.
Joe C., Mortgage Lender
You are such a “SPECIAL” lady and coach. I truly enjoy ‘playing’ with
you. I have begun my ‘time-log’ and WOW! I found I remained on task and
focused, while being aware and conscious of the moment. Thanks for the
brainstorm and suggestion!
Molly, Realtor
When people hear I work with a success coach, they always look surprised
and ask, "Why? You are already very motivated and successful." I always
tell them that I feel I am not anywhere near reaching my full potential
in all areas of my life. I remind them that even athletes who have become
winners of Olympic Gold Medals still work with a coach. With my coach
Kathy's help, I am truly heading toward reaching my full potential.
Elaine, "Number Runners", Accounting, Payroll and Quicken Support
Thanks for your wonderful coaching this afternoon!!! I really appreciate
where you are coming from and your clarity and focus. I’ll let you know
how my ‘vision’ of a ‘beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, pleasant' office
turns out.
Betty, Realtor
Working with Kathy Nelson was integral to the life changes I recently
made. I had really painted myself in a corner with respect to a life I
no longer wanted. Kathy gave me the tools and the means to look at life
from a completely different point of view, and now I have these tools
to use for the rest of my life. It is so important to work with someone
who can be clear and objective when you are in the middle of all the ‘stuff’.
Kathy will not let you escape from your true nature, however, her compassion
and wisdom made it so much easier for me to come to know, that the greatness
of my power was always within.
Donna, Ex-Patent Rep, now Wife and Seeker of Truth
Great call! You are steering me in the right direction to make every
day count!
Maureen, Realtor
Kathy is an outstanding coach. With ease and grace, she helped me get
focused on my issues and commit to taking action. I would highly recommend
her to anyone who is looking for more balance, clarity and focused attention.
Ken, Premier Coaching
My business seems almost too easy now. You help me focus on what is happening.
I now have to look outside my business for the adventure I used to find
inside my business. Thank you.
Sharon, Realtor
Kathy guided me through a hectic, confusing period in my life. She was
always patient, enthusiastic, organized and had a nice "kick in the pants"
way of getting me on track. She was a great listener and uniquely assisted
me with creating the life I wanted. I truly value the time we spent together
and will continue to use her helpful suggestions in the future.
Diane, Artist
You have been a big help to my business and me. I’m learning a whole
new way of being. Teaching me how to plan my time and stay in budget are
the most important things being reinforced, the rest will follow in God’s
time.
Judy O., Realtor
Through the months of working with Kathy, I have learned to recognize
what my true values are and to direct my actions in alignment with these
values. The power and control on your life and happiness is amazing when
you focus on this. I was able to negotiate a terrific career choice by
using these tools. Kathy has the gift to ask thought-provoking questions!
She helps you to design systems that make you accountable to yourself
and she has a sincere concern for you as a whole person. If you want success,
work with Kathy.
Margie, Optomology Sales
I bid on a series of coaching lessons at a charity event and was pleased
to win and receive a month of coaching with Kathy Nelson. I found her
to be helpful and energetic. She has a great personal magnetism and very
positive approach toward life which makes it "fun" to work with her.
Kathy helps one determine his or her goals in life and goes through a
discourse about the most effective means of achieving them. If you are
looking for a coach for your life -- to change the things you want changed
and reinforce the positives of your life, I would highly recommend her.
Marilyn, Estate Planning Attorney
Another group of brilliantly inspirational “Awakening Thoughts” – I appreciate
your interest and spirit.
Kathy, Graphic Artist
For many months I couldn’t understand why I was ‘blowing' all of my job
interviews. Kathy helped me to identify my strengths and my core values,
and with practice and her coaching expertise, I overcame my fears. I came
to 'enjoy' the interview process, landed my 'dream career job' and feel
a big thank you to coaching with Kathy.
Ron W., Advertising/Public Relations
Thanks a million! I really needed to hear what you had to say and your
reminders of where to focus. I feel revitalized already and much more
positive and hopeful. I am doing affirmations and have put some things
in motion already. Thanks again for you encouragement!
Connie, Realtor
How very much we enjoyed your talk to our club. I hope you received the
many compliments and positive comments I heard at the end of your very
uplifting and informative presentation. You were very inspiring to all
of us. We pray your time was as enjoyable as ours was informative.
Michael, The Encourage Mint
Put a star by today for me! I really got into this one! “Fought structure
all my life” was opening my private diary. I look forward to this journey.
Jim, Mortgage Consultant
Working with Kathy and her On Track techniques has helped me to define
and refine my goals and dreams. She is inspiring, informative, illuminating
and educational. I am more aware, focused, and since I am in management,
it has benefited me to have a success coach. I have found that having
such a positive minded guide to talk over challenges, speeds up my results.
Kathy’s emphasis on ‘balance’ has helped with the quality of my life.
I highly recommend Kathy’s On Track program to anyone who would like to
make his or her dreams come true too!
Natalie, Creative Memories Director
I was at a point in my life when I was feeling burnt, from work, remodeling,
female health issues, from life. When the phone rang, I did not want to
answer it for fear it would be someone wanting to do business with me.
I felt nothing more could fit on my plate, the most overwhelmed I had
felt in my life! (I was almost wishing for a nervous breakdown so I could
stop.) Kathy pointed out all the balls in life (health, relationships,
well-being, environment, fun & recreation), and how we need to juggle
them and treat them like glass except for the work ball, which is rubber
and can bounce back. I have taken time off before, a weekend once or twice
a month. She threw out the idea of a month or two! My first reaction was
"no way". I simple could not imagine it. How could I? What would
happen to my business? Would my clients still be there? What would I do
with my assistant? How about the work that was going on? Could I do it
financially? As we talked, I saw a light through that feeling of overwhelm.
I made some calls and the plan unfolded like a miracle. I took 6 weeks
off… and guess what? There was business when I came back… a little slower
that I originally wanted, but it allowed me to look at my marketing, put
some systems in place, and clean out my office and files. Best of all,
I love my work again! I feel wonderful…funny thing is I thought I would
do a lot more lying around, however, I listed all the things I had been
tolerating in my life and house. The time did fly, the 6 weeks felt like
two, and I did get most of the tolerations crossed off that list. Kathy,
I love you. You have a true gift of pointing out the things that I need
and don’t even realize I need. Thank you.
Christie, Realtor, GRI
I have known Kathy since 1983 through working with her as a Business
Development Consultant, friend and now, a Life Success Coach. Kathy walks
the walk, not just talks it! Her coaching promotes balance, positive attitude,
creativeness, goal orientation, integrity, and inspiration. The best part
is that Kathy actually lives these ideals! Kathy is your own best example
of how these principles can affect one’s life.
Nic L., Realtor
