I had a lot of doubt and was completely unsure of how to grow my practice so that I could truly transform the lives of my clients. I was already a certified coach through iPEC, and I had already launched my own business. The best coaching and leadership development experience of my life. I will end with the same two words I started with - Life changing! Now I am happier than I have felt in a long time and I look forward to all the wonderful things to come. Without the coaching and education from Kathleen this past year would have been rough, instead, it was a year of growth and opportunity. I obtained my ICF accredited skills and I am working to obtain the ACC credential. The sessions inspired me so much that I dusted off an old dream and completed the ALA Academy’s Authentic Leadership Coaching program. Her authentic style opened up healthier perspectives, fostered new abilities to face fears, helped me develop more self-confidence, and have a more faith-filled life. Through Kathleen’s questioning, coaching, and observations she helped me uncover parts of myself that were lost through the years of being a single parent and working mom. I knew from our first meeting, it was an opportunity that if I embraced, would help me navigate some pretty rough waters. I was given the gift of coaching sessions with Kathleen. Life changing! Last year, I was bogged down with many struggles, both personally and professionally, my life needed attention in ways that I had been ignoring for way too long. I'm so grateful I chose to embark on my own ALA Academy journey, and know that anyone else able to experience Kathleen's and ALA Academy's wonder will be so happy they did!

The skills learned and traits discovered are applicable far beyond coaching others - they are applicable in all areas of life. Kathleen helps her students feel proud, encouraged, supported, and safe. I have never been part of a program that both teaches you to look deep within and discover yourself in a way that can never be tangible, but also provides the tangible tools needed to act on the person you've become throughout the program - because you WILL be someone different at the end! The way Kathleen runs ALA Academy is unlike any other training or workshop in that you truly feel like a family and will not want to ever lose sight of the relationships built. Authentic Leadership Advisors Academy is beyond what I ever could've expected it is a wonderful cultivation of all the aforementioned qualities Kathleen possesses, in a way that makes it feasible for students to walk away with a sense of real progress and growth. She is a true catalyst for others to want to learn from her how to lead their best life, inspiring change seemingly without trying. Kathleen exudes contagious passion in everything she says and does. The program is ICF certified and I believe, one of the best Coaching certification programs in the world. If you are a seasoned coach or looking to take your career in this direction, look no further than the Authentic Leadership Advisors Academy. Her program teaches coaching from the heart and helps us to become creators rather than victims in life.

The Authentic Leadership Advisors Academy, under Kathleen’s loving leadership, gives us the permission to be human and therefore, vulnerable, in the workplace. Specifically, why there is so much disengagement in the work place (as many studies have highlighted) when there is more focus, energy and training on developing leaders than ever before? I think the answer to that question lies in Kathleen’s coaching model – that our development efforts are focused on the goal and not on the soul.

Eugene and Lance briefly wear their winter outfits from ' Queen for a Day'.As an experienced Leadership and Professional Development professional, I had been looking for answers to some deep questions concerning leadership in the corporate arena.

Eugene and Lance briefly turn into birds just like they did in ' Freebird'.

This song is briefly sung by Lance in the series finale special, ' Plus Est En Vous'.
