“I worked with Kathi as an Executive Coach, we worked together for a scoped amount of time which was about nine months. Our goal was to work towards clarifying my purpose and understand my leadership style and in turn use this self awareness to get the best out of those on my teams and the people around me. We used the Birkman and tools from Lightyear Leadership to incorporate my authentic self into my leadership. Kathi was a spectacular guide along the journey and adapted plans to help me move forward toward my goals but also address immediate challenges I was facing. The work I have done with Kathi has helped me increase my self awareness and understand my personal impact. I have gained clarity on my purpose and personal values, and how to play to my strengths. One of the biggest challenges has been to discern what I should work on and what I should not, whether that be through delegating or choosing activities that are in line with the business vision/objectives and my own. From the work Kathi and I have done I now have an understanding and framework to use to discern what is the right choice for not only myself but for the business.”

“Anyone that is considering working with Kathi, I highly recommend to do so. Her wide breadth of experience gives her a unique perspective and her variety of qualifications means she can adapt to your needs and mix and match tools to help you reach your goals. She is extremely attentive and is always available for a chat, email or text exchange between defined check in's. I would not have made the progress I have in my personal and professional life without her.”

Chandani S.R. (Radia) Bola, Managing Director at Spectrum Uniforms

“Kathi is a versatile coach and mentor. She challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and provided a wealth of resources and support as I moved through each stage of my job search. I am thrilled with the outcome of my work with her!”

Nita Ponnaganti, Operations Manager, Ardent Solutions

“In 2016 I seemed to hit a plateau in my career and utilized Kathi’s services to develop an advancement plan. Kathi taught me how to evaluate and take advantage of new opportunities. I am in my current position because of my technical and operations experience and also because I was able to successfully apply learnings from my sessions with Kathi.”

David Gavia, P.E., Manager, Drill Bit Product Development, Baker Hughes, a GE Company

"Kathi and I have been working together for over a year, and I can say I have seen so much growth in myself since working with her. She makes you think of where your professional interactions are being driven from, and if they are benefiting the cause you are trying to accomplish. Once she helped me point out my blind spots, I could begin recognizing them and begin making a change. It has not been an easy road, but definitely worth it, and Kathi is the perfect person to have helped me with this. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and just an overall great person. I am blessed to know her and work with her."

Dana Bigler, Owner, Accelerated Quality Solutions, LLC

"I have known Kathi Crawford for about two years working collaboratively in an advisory board capacity with HVJ Associates. As an advisor she brings energy, good business instincts and sound advice, as perspective rather than telling me what to do. She challenges me but in a respectful way. She’s a great observer of people, taking in what’s going on and then provides well-grounded assessments of that. She gets things done in a deliberate, efficient way, taking initiative and bringing quality to the team. She’s a pleasure to work with."

Herbert V. Johnson, PE, CEO, HVJ Associates, Inc.

"I was at an impasse in my career when I decided to enlist Kathi's help. Not only was Kathi expert in interpreting my Birkman results, but she was able to help me recognize some of the deeper, underlying core competencies that have been common threads throughout my seemingly disparate work history. Unearthing these natural strengths and common themes was instrumental, not only in creating a resume that I am proud to send to potential employers, but in developing a compelling story to tell about myself and the value that I can provide to any organization. I am confident that the work I did with Kathi will pay huge dividends for me, not only in my next job, but throughout my entire career."

Chris Chitwood, Business Process Improvement | Project Controls | Financial and Cost Analysis | Oilfield Services

Ada Ferrer, Of Counsel at North Law, PC, hired Kathi as her Career Coach

"I was fortunate to work with Kathi at the end of 2012 during a career transition. She came highly recommended, and I quickly realized why so many people spoke so highly of her. Kathi is skilled at helping those in a career transition assess their skills and needs, and then use this information to discover the types of work environments that are best for an individual. Throughout our time working together, Kathi was available through phone calls and emails, in addition to our regular meetings. She was able to provide me with new ideas and perspectives. She is both encouraging and straight-forward. Our work together ended in securing a job that was a great fit for me. I would recommend contacting Kathi Crawford at People Possibilities to anyone in a career transition."

Katie Plunkett, Neurology Product Specialist at GeneDx, hired Kathi as her Career Coach

"I originally began work with Kathi regarding my own career. Through several meetings Kathi was quickly able to identify, and help me identify, the type of environment that I would be most successful in. She also helped identify my natural strengths and stress behaviors. This was put to good use during a job search. Ultimately, our work together ended in securing a role with a company that was a great fit both in responsibility and in culture. Kathi was there every step of the way and made herself available outside of our face to face meetings which added large value. Since that time I have also been able to work with Kathi as a consultant with my current company. She has recently facilitated a management training session that received great reviews from managers with results that are being put to use each day.

She offered well-organized material along with anecdotes that brought examples to life in a memorable way. Kathi's interactive communication style worked very well with a diverse audience, and far exceeded expectations for the session. The audience came away with some strong, actionable strategies.”

After 1 session with Kathi, Amy completely turned around and took control of her life. Now, she is positively DRIVEN, is happy, has positive relationships and is going full speed for what she wants. Kathi unlocked something in her and now there’s no stopping her.”

Donna Ross, Engineering Project Manager, New Product Introduction, GE Energy

"I was very lucky to have worked in the same company with Kathi. She was not my direct manager, but was an amazing coach while I was learning to be a Director of a new division. Kathi has a calming and very detailed way about her; she listens and talks the situation out with you. I always felt comfortable bringing my situations to her. She knows how to work with people, and knows that "cookie cutter management" doesn't always work. She helped me customize my management style to fit each individual working for me at the time. I would recommend Kathi for any coaching position-she knows what needs to happen on a team...as long as you are open and honest from the beginning. "If there was a Super Bowl in business--Kathi Crawford would be a winning coach!"
