The common thread is helping organizations and individuals be responsive to the accelerating pace of change in the world we live in . . . to figure out what they really want, how to tell their story in a way that attracts the support they need – internal and external – and bring their vision, mission and purpose to life.
As a transformational thought leader and entrepreneur, Kathleen has a proven track record of designing, implementing, promoting and replicating innovative projects on a local, statewide, national and international basis. She is known for doing the seemingly impossible and being the ultimate resource choreographer.

She considers herself an ‘on-demand’ learner and is reflective, intentional and curious. Kathleen enjoys sharing her great sense of humor.
Bringing her leadership to community efforts is important to Kathleen. She has volunteered her time and talent to the design and development of the World Academy for the Future of Women, which launched in September 2009. The Academy provides university women in China with a leadership program that is project-based and focuses on addressing United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Kathleen has also had the privilege of serving on a number of nonprofit boards. She has been awarded the Eureka-Communities Fellowship Award in recognition of her dedication, commitment and community service. The YWCA honored Kathleen as a Woman of Excellence in Education.
