“Katheryn is always positive and productive, has put together great material that covers a wide spectrum of experiences that resonate with many profiles, and always went the extra mile to be supportive while I navigated [my VP role and expat lifestyle]. I happily recommend her not only as a coach and cultural training resource, but as a great professional contact to make.”

"At the time I reached out to Katheryn, things were crazy. I was managing a new leadership position, move to a new home, and a variety of other personal matters. Katheryn is a superstar. I would recommend Katheryn to anyone who needs personalized service to help them with any and all aspects of their life. She is extremely knowledgable, detail oriented, articulate, prompt and fully capable of supporting families, expats, and executives who need another set of eyes to see and manage the things that matter most."

"As I joined as a new employee, I was so nervous and many things were quite new and I felt high pressure. Katheryn helped me overcome these feelings. We also discussed how to overcome challenges at a global company, how to stay motivated, and how to communicate across cultures.“

If you would have asked me a few decades ago if I needed input from a coach, I would have laughed out loud. Ah, the folly of youth. Having long surpassed middle age, I now know better, but not enough to figure it out on my own. So when I began to wonder about how to best use my remaining decades, I started to rethink the whole coach thing.
Katheryn Gronauer came recommended from so many online and individual sources that I would have continued in my foolish ways not to hire her. And I'm glad I did. Not only did she help me sort out the jumble of ideas and hopes that were milling around in my head, not only did she offer concrete activities to help me extract those that were the best match for my long-term path, not only did she assign homework after each meeting with attainable goals, she did all of those things with personal attention to my specific situation.
What surprised me the most is when she would step out from "official coach" mode and for a while take on the role of enthusiast, suddenly saying, "Hey, I know someone who would be a perfect match to help you with this portion. Let me put you in touch with them." And guess what: She was right.
If you are wondering how you are ever going to figure out what to do from this point forward, I recommend Katheryn as a source of guidance and inspiration.

"A lot of what I have learned is that I have control over my reactions, even when it's taking a pause beforehand, and that makes me feel empowered; it's all in my control. The biggest unlock with me and coaching is having someone reframe my thinking in real time. Katheryn has been a great support. I feel heard and acknowledged, and felt her coaching is very targeted.”

“I have had coaching before but there is something about Katheryn’s coaching that is especially good. I enjoy our conversations and look forward to them.”

I was lucky enough to be taken on as a client of Katheryn’s to undertake some executive coaching sessions. This was very timely for me as there were many changes happening in my life. I had recently received a promotion which meant moving to another country and taking on a new role. She has given me so much support and guidance during our coaching sessions that have been invaluable to me during this transition period in my career! I continue to learn from her and have lots of fun doing it! I would certainly recommend anyone who is going through a challenging time in their career or people that just want a bit of structure and guidance to reinvigorate their career, to try some coaching sessions with Katheryn. You definitely won't regret it!

"Katheryn's coaching has not only helped me feel more positive, but it is also guiding me in the direction of success. I was struggling to feel like a good culture fit at my company and she helped me see opportunities. She has helped me to organize my thoughts and clarify what I need to do in order to have a concrete image of what I want to be and how I want to be successful. She also helped me to think about how I could better talk to my manager and global leaders to make that happen. Katheryn is very helpful not only as psychological support but also as an executive coach.”
-Rie
"The insights from coaching have given me confidence to open conversations with my Japanese subordinates and colleagues. I'm more equipped with finding out where they are coming from and finding the right words to move us forward. Previously I would just give up on the basis that we don't speak the same language or force my ways on them."
-Seema
I had to grab the opportunity to do coaching as I was also stepping into a new role within my company. Leading a team was something new to me and the coaching sessions were beneficial in helping me understand how to go from operating on my own within my expertise to being a leader for others. Katheryn’s insights have given me a lot of awareness and exposure on how to approach my mindset, relationships, and communication which were unknown to me at the start. Whilst going through several coaching sessions, my sense of direction became as clear as light and things turned out for the better.
With Katheryn's diverse insights and creative measures to matters, she will be able to bring insight that will bring light to matters that you have not seen nor experienced before. What I can advise is that you seek Katheryn out for coaching sessions. You will not regret this as she will be able to bring insights and exposures that are derived from her vast experience.
