Coaching Leaders To Take More Powerful and Effective Action

"Kathleen brings a perspective that is unique and highly valued by nonprofit partners. Much of that respect is based on her ability to listen and then contribute in a manner that fully recognizes the recipient’s concerns and challenges. A great advisor/partner listens carefully, quickly assesses the need, and leans into the problem with productive solutions. Kathleen epitomizes this process. "

"A game changer, Kathleen understands the dimensions and demands of transformation. She is deeply intuitive and instinctive with others, recognizing the challenges each individual will face. She speaks with grace and authority whether she is with one person or talking to a room of 100, clarifying, challenging and celebrating as need be."

"I appreciate Kathleen’s wisdom, authenticity, and deep commitment to embodied leadership. Her ability to responsively and skillfully pivot between using coaching and consulting approaches in support of my learning and growth objectives has been tremendously valuable. "

"Kathleen was my coach for eighteen months. Now several years later, I still hark back to the lessons and experiences of my time with her. Her coaching is unique in its depth, personalization, focus on the mind-body connection, and provision of techniques (both mental and physical) that will stay with you for a lifetime. I really can’t say enough about how my time with Kathleen supported my evolution to becoming a stronger, more grounded person overall, a more effective leader and, most importantly, more able to handle the ups and downs of a challenging, ambitious career. If you have the wonderful opportunity to work with a coach, I highly recommend Kathleen. "

"I wanted to share with you how your coaching has changed my life. First, my experience helped me move to a place where I could see the power and potential of my own leadership. That set the stage for me to leap into an Executive Director role. It is a great fit and I am proud that I am living my declaration in this exciting way! Thanks for your coaching that has quite literally rocked my world."

"I’ve worked with Kathleen Loehr over the last four years. Her coaching transformed how I approached problem solving, focus as a leader and personal growth. She approaches her work from an extraordinarily positive and affirming perspective AND challenges you and tracks your progress in ways that makes you clearer, more confident, and able to see new solutions and ways to arrive at the right place – for you, for your organization, and -- in some profound way – the world.
Kathleen is generous with her time, draws on a wealth of experience as a leader, colleague, and strategist. And her coaching is always centered on you – no cookie cutter solutions or pat answers or advice. Her somatic approach and ability to listen deeply and honestly makes the work energizing and extremely productive. In addition to being a truly talented coach, she is a truly good person."

"Partnering with Kathleen Loehr has been a defining chapter in my leadership journey. As CEO of a community health center, her executive coaching helped me bridge the gap between my values and daily leadership practices, enabling me to lead with deeper presence, clarity, and integrity in the face of complex organizational dynamics. Through somatic awareness and guided reflection, I gained insight into long-standing leadership patterns and developed new, embodied ways of engaging that build trust and resilience—both in myself and across my teams. Kathleen skillfully created a space that balanced challenge with care, guiding me through pivotal decisions and transitions with intention and strength. Her work profoundly shaped how I lead: with accountability, authenticity, and a clear sense of purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any leader ready to grow in both capacity and depth."

"Kathleen is a brilliant coach, mentor, leader, and manager. Kathleen is practical, intuitive, and experienced. Kathleen helped me think through all parts of my personal performance in order to be strategic, resilient and calm in the face of challenge. Kathleen’s coaching has been transformative for me. "

"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathleen to strengthen my leadership skills. I had no prior experience with professional coaching before working with her, and I came away from our time together feeling more grounded, thoughtful, and confident as I approached my work. Kathleen brings a wealth of experience and techniques to her coaching, and I appreciated her use of scholarly articles as well as centering practices. She is insightful, and very easy to talk to. No matter how busy my day and my mind were, the time spent talking each week with Kathleen allowed me to focus and work through some challenging situations with her helpful input. Our work together allowed me to reflect on my leadership qualities and style in a new way, and it improved the way I show up for both myself and others in the workplace."
