"Kathy,
you were heaven sent for an earthly need. You have revolutionized
my way of thinking and have transformed my business. I have immediate
results! I have the confidence to ask for the big money, know
that I'm worth it, and actually get it! I just signed my first
contract with a client for nearly $6000 -- my biggest job yet.
Thank you for your patience, your transfer of skills, and your
thoroughness."

Business
Consulting & Coaching
Why
hire a business & personal coach? We
hire personal trainers to help us condition our bodies when we see a gap between
where we are physically, and where we'd like to be. But in other areas of our
lives, we're not taught to invest in ourselves. And we often don't...until
we're faced with a crisis! Then, after the fact, we kick ourselves for not
asking for support sooner. Sound familiar?
Eight years ago I had an opportunity
to hire a Professional Organizer to coach me through my business start-up, and
I chose not to because of the cost. I spent the first year making a lot of
mistakes -- mistakes that I doubt I would have made if I had sought counsel from
a successful business owner in my start-up days. I spent a lot more money
going it alone than I would have if I had invested in her services...not to mention
that it took me that much longer to grow my business to a profitable level.
About
Kathy Paauw... In
addition to being a Professional Organizer with a thriving business, I am also
a trained and certified business and personal coach. I offer a combination
of business consulting... sharing concrete tools and giving
advice, and coaching... providing guidance and support as you
find your own niche and working style, while finding ways to balance between
your work and your personal life.
Feedback
from others I have privately coached (shared with permission):
"Kathy, you are incredible and brilliant! You are
one of the most giving people I've had the privilege of knowing. Thank you
for the great coaching and encouragement you provided to help get my business
off the ground. I'm so much better prepared than if I'd done this on my own.
You have been a true blessing to me. Thank you!"
-Vicki Manning, Organized by Design, Nashville, TN
"I value
your listening ear for my organizing practice…someone to bounce ideas off
of who's been there and done that. You've taught me the importance of listening
to my clients and not making assumptions about their needs. And your advice has
definitely saved me money! At the end of one of our calls you asked me how I
was taking care of myself. That really meant a lot to me, and it made me think.
I take care of everybody else and don't think about what I should do for me.
You also helped take a look at how I value my services and what I charge for
them. Thanks for everything!"
-Elizabeth Hagen, Organization & Image Solutions, Sioux Falls, SD
"Your
role as my coach, mentor, and teacher has been instrumental in getting my business
flowing. Your thought-provoking questions and gentle guidance have helped me
in many areas of my life. I appreciate and am grateful for the emotional support,
encouragement, and valuable information you have given me on everything from
setting up my books and using ACT to marketing strategies and working with clients.
I now trust my abilities and know that I have much to offer clients as a professional
organizer."
-Karen
Roehl, Life Transformation, Kirkland, WA
"I
want to say thank you for your assistance during our coaching sessions together.
You are incredible! Your thought-provoking questions helped me focus on what
is most important in both the start-up phase of my organizing business and in
my life. Your guidance, support and recommendations gave me the direction I needed
and helped me overcome the obstacles that prevented me from moving forward. You
generously provided business assistance that jump-started my business and eliminated
the need for me to “reinvent the wheel."
-Carole
Thomas, Productivity Concepts, Phoenix, AZ
If you are considering hiring
a business & personal coach, contact me today
to arrange for a complimentary coaching call. Once you've experienced my
coaching style, you can determine if I am the right coach for you. If I am,
I'll share several options for ways in which we can work together. If I am
not the right coach for you, I can provide names of others who might be a better
fit.
