BEYOND PRODUCTIVITY:
Building Environments Where Business and People Thrive

In today’s complex business environment, organizations face a critical challenge: how to drive results while sustaining team engagement and energy.

Traditional approaches to productivity often fall short, leading to diminished performance, burnout, and turnover.

I work with organizations and leaders who want to:

  • Drive high performance without burning out their teams

  • Transform how their teams approach work and productivity

  • Build sustainable practices that support long-term team and personal performance


The Sustainable Ambition Method for Organizations & Teams

The Sustainable Ambition Method offers a different path forward.

My approach operates at the intersection of Strategy, Execution, and Human Sustainability and links to natural human tendencies: our motivations and our tendency to want to do more and the need to move between states of using and restoring our energy.

This method helps teams work more effectively and efficiently, by aligning the right goals with the right focus and the right effort. It helps employees find meaning in their work, focus on what matters, and make the doing manageable.

This approach goes beyond time management techniques and productivity hacks that simply suggest how to use our finite time and energy more efficiently and try to squeeze more from the same resources.

The results:

  • Higher team engagement and retention

  • High performance with reduced burnout

  • More effective workload management

  • Better work-life integration

  • Sustainable long-term success

I offer a few ways to work together:

  • Want to make quick progress? Get started with a 90-minute clarity session to help unlock immediate insights and impact.

    This is for you if you feel like you’d benefit from a coach and accountability partner to help you identify some shifts in your leadership or with your team without a bigger, long-term coaching commitment.

    You might be challenged by:

    • Getting employees engaged in their work

    • Focusing the team’s efforts on the work that matters most

    • Creating a sustainable work pace and environment for your team

    • Or, we can customize the session to your specific needs

    Here’s what you’ll get:

    • One 90-minute coaching call held via Zoom or phone

    • Pre-assessment questionnaire to focus our session

    • I’ll work with you as an advisor and coach to go deeper and help you identify a few actions to pilot and a first step to take to make a shift

    • You’ll leave with more clarity and a canvas of notes, inquiries, tools, or exercises to use as a guide moving forward

    • One 15-minute accountability session 2-4 weeks after the session

    • From here, we can determine if you’d like to continue working together to move you forward on your journey


    LET’S EXPLORE WORKING TOGETHER

  • A Sustainable Ambition Assessment for Teams is a low investment, big impact short-assignment to apply The Sustainable Ambition Method to identify opportunities for optimization across Right Goals, Right Focus, and Right Effort for a team. 

    • Does your team have strategic clarity?

    • Are they connected and find meaning in their work?

    • Is the team’s work and energy focused on what matters most? 

    • Where can work practices be optimized to sustain energy and performance?

    We use a human-centered approach in that we engage the team through qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover insights to identify opportunities to optimize how to work together more effectively and efficiently and sustain team engagement and energy.  

    After an assessment, we can discuss if deeper consulting, a workshop, or training is desired to further support your goals.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "She takes the long view of what a successful career can be, and she helped expand my definition of what success looks like on my terms, both personally and professionally. After each coaching session I felt uplifted and more empowered to create the career I need to live the life I want."

    Robert
    Management Consultant, San Francisco

  • "Kathy provided tools, guidance, and support to help me navigate a career crossroads. I so appreciated her amazing ability to listen to and distill my swirling thoughts into insightful observations. There were multiple times where Kathy challenged me to think in different ways, recommended activities and frameworks that were spot on, and made me think 'why didn't I think of that?'"

    Erica M.
    Startup co-founder and Design leader

  • "I had a wonderful experience working with Kathy! She encouraged me to build daily practical changes that have helped to bring more joy to my life right now and has also equipped me with tools and framework for how to continue to define my long-term career objectives."

    Natalie Fogal
    Marketing Manager, Best Buy

  • "I have unlocked more clarity in my time with her than I have on my own in the past few years. Her help and support has led to greater fulfillment in my career and personal life. From our first meeting, Kathy was extremely engaged and easy to talk to, asking thoughtful questions that pushed me to explore my larger purpose and career goals."

    L.M.
    Marketing Manager

  • "Kathy is a brilliant and accommodating coach. She flexed her schedule to be available for an immediate need with thoughtful preparation, rewarding exercises, and guidance in a literal 24 hours, 2-session whirlwind. With Kathy’s guidance, I was able to make really big priorities and choices and ascertained such clarity. I felt so prepared—I had all the insights to be able to lead a pressure-filled conversation on what I wanted (and didn’t want). It feels so powerful!"

    Carol Best
    VP Brand Marketing

  • "Kathy’s career workshop was incredibly valuable to me. As a busy professional and mom, I had struggled to carve out the time to focus on my career. The exercises Kathy walked us through forced me to examine my career and myself through a different lens – one that I had never looked through before. The diverse perspectives of everyone in the workshop really made a lasting impression and I’m so grateful for the experience."
