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.
