Testimonials
“I first used Kathy Judge as a coach to help me with a range of professional matters including issues of organizational development, personnel relationships, succession planning and mentoring. She was an effective sounding board, a careful listener, a perceptive questioner and a thoughtful giver of guidance that helped me to formulate my own solutions. As I found her more and more useful in my work life, I increasingly used her coaching skills to help me think through a more broad set of issues involving my own professional transition and interpersonal relationships. The biggest bonus in this is that she is not only an effective coach but she is fun to work with. I always look forward to my conversations with her.”

“I am a college educated, mother of two, grandmother of three, widely traveled, married 39 years, and recently widowed quite suddenly.
Kathy and I began working together around my grief after the death of my husband. She helped me accept the power of the loss and the opportunity for growth it presented. She brought genuine caring, empathy, hope, humor and open-mindedness to our process as the grief work turned into work on the next stage of my life. She was intuitive about things I could not say and thoughtfully interested in things I could. She was able to draw on her experience and understanding to help me “problem solve” and move forward. She always pointed out opportunities to be grateful and the need, indeed the capacity for, a broader understanding of living today and facing the future with zest and intention.”

“My greatest frustration and disappointment in expanding my client base had been my lack of progress and success. I spent more time thinking about building an expanded client base than actually doing it. I just couldn’t get myself to take action. I was overwhelmed.
Kathy Judge helped change that. Kathy, with her easy style, probing questions and direct feedback helped me to first understand that success was possible - and that to be successful it would be worthwhile to go back to the basics. Asking what it actually was I wanted to do, what excited me, and what it was I wanted to contribute through my work, she helped me identify how I was sabotaging myself. In pragmatic and thoughtful ways, Kathy helped me reframe the service I wanted to provide. I felt reinvigorated! What seemed overwhelming became readily attainable. Kathy guided me to acknowledge my strengths, values, and passion.
She then introduced me to a “tool box” of skills, honed to my abilities, which enabled me to achieve my goals and aspirations. As a result my client base increased by 40% last year.
Thank you, Kathy Judge!”

“From a business woman of 26 years, owner of a small Vermont company with a staff of 10, three months into coaching with Kathy Judge Certified Professional Coach.
Although I have not made the "big decision" or monumentally changed the business, nor have I conquered the world or increased my net worth by millions…I have moved forward in a number of most delightful ways.
My options are clearer, those things that are most important in my life are surfacing to the top and the realities of who I am and where I would be most comfortable in the after 50 portion of my life are now tangible - and a path to them far easier to implement.
Kathy provides the experience; training in life and career options; and professional setting to allow one to understand the possibilities, the limitations and to lend support and a cheering team for getting where you want to go. As a sole business owner you end up spending an enormous amount of time having discussions with yourself no matter what your depth of friendships, associations and/or networking is.
The relationship that Kathy provides is invaluable to me. Kathy presents a knowledge set, good humor and the collegial qualities that allow for a successful assessment of what is needed in the hard job of changing oneself, accepting oneself and envisioning and implementing a new revised you.”
