"Kate is a constant reminder of how we can benefit by having joy and fun as guideposts for the journey, rather than struggle and pain. If you’d like to be reminded of who you really are, supported to create according to those values, and enjoy the process, then give Kate a call."

"I have worked with Kate and David to provide both "Maximizing Productivity From the Inside Out" and "Maximum Performance Leadership" to our division employees. Both courses have been eye opening and showed us how to live life in a more enjoyable state of mind and how to not let life's many challenges get you down.
Employees that attended the leadership course were so impressed with the training that they have developed a monthly meeting where they check in and report to each other on how they are using the skills taught in the class."

"Since my coaching relationship with Kate I have been set free to soar...to be at peace with who I am and where I am in my life, and still knowing that I am going forward. Fears have always kept me bound and now at the age of 63, I am learning how to be an over comer. It is so wonderful to have Kate always there for me, showing me the way beyond all of my fears that have held me back. I have become a master over my thoughts, knowing I always have a choice. It has been an exciting journey coaching with Kate. She shares my dreams, making each session an adventure. It’s wonderful to have someone there cheering me on…I love my coach."

"Working with Kate Sholonski is fun, energizing, centering, and challenging. Kate's coaching is definitely "fully-alive" and "out-of-the-box". Coming to her is like having regular life adjustments as she consistently helps me re-align my life with my values, my power and my passion. The accountability keeps me on track with my life purpose. Her concise and powerful questioning focuses on what's most important - separating the wheat from the chaff. She holds a space where I am free to experience my fears and sorrows, and celebrate my successes. Kate's creative talent for using metaphors colors our times together. My life is enriched and blessed with Kate as my coach."

"I began coaching at a point in my life when I was feeling a bit lost and stagnant. I wasn't unhappy, but I wasn't moving in any particular direction. Kate listened to me so carefully that she could hear my true passions in life - and together we explored ways that I could incorporate more of those into my daily life. In six months, I have reached a turning point. I have much more energy and feel as if I'm now moving in an exciting direction.
Having a coach is like having a constant friend who wants to see you living life fully, who believes in you totally, and is always challenging you to become the greatest person you can be. My weekly sessions with Kate are like a touchstone where I can feel fully supported and remember who I am and what gifts I have come here to give."

"My coach, Kate, has become a mirror for my soul. Through her insight and creativity she assists me in defining my "self"- the strengths, weaknesses, goals and aspirations that lie within me. Kate offers perspectives that have become integral parts of the fiber of my being - words, phrases and symbols that I carry in my mind and heart every day. These ideas fill me with strength to be 'true to myself' even in the most difficult circumstances. Participation in coaching has become a most impassioned and empowering endeavor! Kate is more than a coach. She is a kindred spirit on this often challenging journey we call "life"- a constant reminder for me to cast the shadows behind and fill myself with light so that the mirror of my life reflects love and joy to the world."

"Kate worked with our organization in fun and effective ways that enabled us to learn and grow as a team. Her facilitation abilities and her appreciation of each individual had everyone of us engaged and working toward our common goals. Kate's understanding of organizational dynamics and the human spirit made her a wonderful and important catalyst for our staff. We have improved communications and office morale, and we are much better at addressing the hard stuff of human relationships, which I believe is the foundation for organizational success."

These are statements from teachers who participated in Kate Sholonski's "Living Life on Purpose" workshop at the Seneca Highlands IU9 Summer Curriculum!

"Out of eighty-four workshops, Kathleen's (Kate's) two hour "Living Life on Purpose" workshop attracted thirty-four women (a very large attendance for a two hour session), and received rave reviews. The majority of attendees rated the workshop as "Excellent." Under additional comments, many noted Kate's ability to connect with her audience, her enthusiasm, and the important content, or the "meat" of her workshop. We will be thrilled to have Kate return as a workshop presenter in the future!"

Written comments on the participant's forms included:
"This activity gave me a chance to reflect on my future goals and to be at inner peace with choices made for my life."
"....was very motivational and will positively affect my teaching because I will be more content and fulfilled."
"...reminded me to 'step outside the box' to help students see different perspectives of themselves."

"I contracted with Kate Sholonski to provide a department retreat for the staff of Laurel Behavioral Health. We spent eight hours with her and I've received more positive feedback from the staff than I have from any other training. They were especially appreciative of the opportunity to examine the balance in their lives and the guidance they received to incorporate mindfulness into all their lives' activities. I highly recommend Kate as a trainer and coach."
