“I had the great good fortune to work with Kate McGuinness when I was at a professional crossroads. Having practiced law for decades, I was ready to change my profession but was unsure which path to follow. Kate’s thoughtful questions helped me find my way to a new position that was more personally and professionally satisfying and paid more to boot. But Kate did so much more than ask powerful questions. She listened intently and focused right in on me. In today’s world, it is so rare to feel truly heard. Kate reflected back to me the essence of what she had heard in my ramblings. That process helped me see clearly my own inclinations. More than any of these extraordinary skills, Kate’s empathy and understanding helped me find the courage to follow my heart. I highly recommend Kate McGuinness as a coach.” CEO of medical research institute
“In my work with Kate, I was able to go from scattered and easily distracted to focused, determined and much more productive than I had been in a very long time. Being a coach myself, it was additionally valuable to be able to learn from Kate’s coaching technique. In every session, Kate would listen quietly, occasionally ask a question or two and then just when I thought we had covered everything she would ask a question that really got to the heart of the matter. She was direct, considerate and challenging all at the same time. At one point, Kate made me realize I had been holding myself back by getting distracted with the next best thing. That was my turning point and I will be forever grateful to her. If you’re looking for a top-notch coach who is kind, gentle and direct, Kate McGuiness is it.” Coach

I didn’t know where to start. Through simple, direct and thoughtful questioning, Kate helped me organize my ambitions and develop a plan that could incorporate all of them. Her calm and confident demeanor is contagious, and has helped me tap resources within myself I did not know were there. She has been an amazing force for change in my life. Thanks, Kate!” Recent law school graduate
