What some current and past clients have to say:

Katie is professional and inspirational.  She challenges you to push the envelope of what you can achieve while emotionally connecting with your stuggles.  There is no other person I would want in my corner.
 Penelope Comette, Comette Consulting , Vancouver BC, 

I woke up on my 48th birthday with the absolute certainty that I did not want to wake up on my 49th birthday feeling like I had been feeling. This is what prompted me to reach out to Katie Bennett. My stress levels were very high. I felt like my life was out of my control which led to feelings of depression and anxiety. With Katie's guidance over the past few months I now feel like I am living life "fully engaged". My mind and my heart have been opened. I feel far more optimistic about life and the future than I have in many many months, perhaps even years. When you work with Katie you will learn about perspective and how your perspective colors every nuance of your life. A change in perspective can bring with it a whole new beginning. It has for me. I know that all will not be a bed of roses going forward. I also know that I have Katie always available to provide guidance whenever I need it. I would highly recommend Katie Bennett for anyone who feels they are at a crossroad in life but aren't sure how to get to the other side.

The most effective way to impact leadership development is through coaching. That said, it takes an extraordinary coach to inspire, challenge and hold leaders accountable to being their very best. Katie Bennett is one of those coaches. I've had the opportunity to work with Katie over the last couple of years and would highly recommend her. She truly emodies her tag line "Dare to be Great"!

As a direct result of working with Katie Bennett in a coaching relationship I discovered what was truly important to me. She helped me see the beliefs I was holding that were keeping me where I was (unhappy, unfulfilled, lost, feeling very alone and stuck), and gave me the support I needed to move ahead and begin the search for what I truly wanted in Life.

the full spectrum of personal, family and work situations."

Katie helped me focus…this focus gave me the clarity to make decisions from a place of confidence and purpose. Katie's powerful dance between her intuitive ear, her warm support, and her absolute belief in her clients potential has helped me to identify who I really am, what I want to achieve in life, and how I will succeed.

“...Katie has a natural ability to kill any negative thinking and to put fears under a microscope so that we can take a good look at what is holding us back."

"We brought coaching into our organization in the fall of 2002 to reward and invest in some of our top people. A group of 13 people including myself  worked with a coach for a period of three months. The results were impressive. The individuals involved reported new learning and skills in the area of managing, leading, motivating, communication, taking iniative, and delegating, as well as feeling a greater sense of self-awareness and
confidence. And at the level of the entire organization, the coaching revealed several
critical issues in the company that were under the surface.  In the bigger picture, we now have a plan to address communication barriers between management and staff, to create and reinforce a Corporate Vision that everyone in the company can be passionate about and enhance our performance on all levels.  I can honestly say that coaching has positively impacted our bottom line and will continue to do so as we move forward into our second phase of coaching".

"Katie's energy is infectious.”  -Andrea Thompson

  My first couple of sessions with Katie were like going to the dentist, awkward and uncomfortable. Due to her talents it wasn't too long before I was looking forward to our weekly conversations. Katie helped me realize "change" can be exciting, obstacles are opportunities, and anything is possible.  -Neil Hardy

I would highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a personal coach. 
Katie's greatest impact was her energy.  She helped me articulate my values and awaken to my life purpose and calling.  With her guidance, I now have a vision and the courage to make it happen.
