Testimonials

 
 

The two-person 'workshops' were very practical and enabled me to readily apply what I had learned in the real world.

–Richard P., Minister

(Kathy's class) has put a new spin on the people I deal with. . . it taught me to deal with them more effectively because I understand their motivations.

–John M., Director of Operations

Panels speed up the learning process and I understand the Enneagram’s value so much better now!

–Anonymous

We have been so blessed by the Lord through our meetings with Kathy. The Lord has brought us to new levels of freedom. We see the Lord work through Kathy  and reveal to her things that we need for healing, growth, and encouragement. We expect to grow in the Lord each time we meet and in the time in between . Our time with Kathy is invaluable to us, and we hope that many more can be blessed by Kathy's Ministry. 

–Andrew and Joana C., Pastoral Ministry

I learned many practical tools which will help not only in the business world but also in my day-to-day life (e.g.. forms of nonverbal communication such as body language). Perhaps the best part was SPIN selling. I now know how to 'draw' people out of themselves and help them see what's truly going on in their lives.

–Pat S., Office Manager

Kathy has helped me in so many ways the past 3 years of my life. From making huge life transitions, feeling afraid, doubting myself, and wanting to know more about who God is...she has been there every step of the way. She is the one mentor/ counselor that I can fully trust and rely on to speak truth into my life with wisdom and love. She cares like no one I’ve ever been to for help and she is truly gifted in what she does. I would not be the same person I am today without her. She has walked with me through moving home from college, finding a job, working through family difficulties, romantic relationships, and my personal walk with the Lord.

–Anonymous, Ministry

I never knew the Enneagram could be so much fun to learn!

Kathy changed the way I see myself by helping me develop my confidence in relating with people. She taught me to be wise in dealing with people. I started seeing results right away. Kathy is so exuberant about what she teaches that I am challenged and encouraged to take new risks in my career and personal relationships. In my experience working with techies, it is the people who have social skills who move up in their careers. If you cannot communicate with customers you cannot do business. 

–Irene C., Computer Programmer

My daughter felt an instant connection with Kathy from the first time she met her. Kathy was easy to talk to and a great listener. She  was loving, kind, genuine, and sincere.  She never talked down to my daughter, but had a unique way of being able to speak the truth in love to her. I always felt so relieved when my daughter would say, “I’m going to meet with Ms. Kathy today.” I had every confidence that Kathy would  counsel and advise her through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Scripture says that “every good and perfect gift is from above” . I can truly say with all of my heart that Kathy has been and continues to be “a gift from God” to our family!

–Anonymous Client’s Mother

I was privileged to see one of our consultants transformation from frog to prince. In the time he worked with Kathy he got promoted and also got engaged. By learning some basics in the social skills department his life drastically changed.

–Anonymous Vice President
