Fruitful Coaching and Consulting helps queer leaders and their teams bridge the gap between their values and how they lead day to day.

Kind Words From Clients

Kind Words From Clients

Medium green background
  • “Through coaching, I strengthened my ability to trust my own read of a situation while staying open to new information. In my work that shows up as stronger decision-making, clearer boundaries, and more intentional collaboration. ”

  • “Having someone else take my dream seriously, asking me straight-forward, grounded questions, and helping me break a huge journey down into tiny steps helped me navigate my fears and imposter syndrome. Kate helped me cultivate the self-trust I need to move in the direction of my dreams.”

  • “Kate’s ability to ask unbiased, genuinely curious questions showed me how effective that approach is, and it’s changed how I communicate with others”

  • “There is no chance that I would be where I am in my business without Kate. Without her calm, clear, grounded guidance and accountability, I would still be dreaming without ever taking action.”

  • “Kate is a world class listener and advisor. Kate's coaching style is so adaptable to every unique scenario to provide the right combination of freedom and structure to aid your self-reflection and solution exploration. This has changed the way I show up as a educator and mentor. I move more slowly. I focus in deeper. I engage more often with nuance and curiosity.”

  • “Through her thoughtful structure and the precision of her questions, I became more internally organized and more self-trusting. I’m clearer in my decision-making, more grounded in difficult conversations, and better able to navigate relationships at work.”

Chemistry Call

The first step in our work together is a free, 30-minute chemistry call, which is an opportunity for me to get to know you and your goals, and for you to get to know me, my coaching style, and my approach. Think of it as a trial run!
