Kate Schaefers, PHD

Executive Coach and Consultant

“Successful leaders blend business skills with the ability to bring out the best in others. They build trust, and engage and inspire teams around a shared vision. I partner with leaders to bring their best selves to work – to build on their strengths, to manage blind spots, and to find ways to be effective while also being authentic.”

-Kate Schaefers
