What Clients Are Saying

"Kathryn created a structure for exploring the next stage of my career. Her wonderfully warm style, deep experience and wise insights were instructive and empowering. I came out with more clarity to identify and articulate next steps in order to achieve my personal and professional goals."
Miriam S
CEO, Jewish Family and Children’s Service of St. Louis
"Kathryn was committed to developing my ability to move through the transition in a way that was healthy, whole, and deeply meaningful not only for myself, but for the communities I serve. Kathryn is a person unlike any other. The nonprofit world (and beyond) is lucky to have her."
Jill P
Executive Director/Founding President, Hemophilia Alliance of Maine
"In a very structured way, I was led to talk about things I wouldn’t normally talk about or think through, and that effort in the end helped me to arrive at conclusions about myself and ways I want to brand myself that I would not have arrived at otherwise. I feel stronger, more authentic, and more confident in what I want professionally and personally as a result."
Aubrey B
Entrepreneur
"Kathryn is also a passionate advocate for emerging leaders in the field, as well as those mid-career. Rather than offering boilerplate advice she asks pointed questions which help you travel to your own conclusion - which can often be surprising! I think of her as a career sherpa, guiding the way with expert and seasoned knowledge. Additionally, her own experiences as an interim executive director give her the upper hand in conversations about transition and change."
Nicola R
Executive Director, Monterey Symphony
"Kathryn’s impact on my life and my business has been profound! I had an epiphany which led me to a much deeper understanding of why I do what I do! I will be forever grateful for that pivotal moment; it's an experience that continues to guide my work and my life."
Kim H
President, Unbridled, LLC
"I hired Kathryn as a coach at a time when I knew transition was in the air for me. The impact of Kathryn's intentional, deliberate coaching calls that included both big picture thinking and detailed roll out of ideas, was tremendous. The result was positive motion along my career trajectory, and I advanced from associate artistic director at The Pasadena Playhouse to deputy artistic director at Arena Stage. I have since recommended her to others who, too, have advanced in significant ways as a result of Kathryn's coaching. She's the real deal. Connect with her. I know I will again in the future."
Seema S
Deputy Artistic Director, Arena Stage

Who is Kathryn R Martin?

With almost three decades of professional experience as a leader in the arts and culture field, I achieved the success that I had envisioned back when I was in high school.  

And then, I began feeling a “pulling” to make a change, but wasn’t sure what was possible, what made sense, or what I wanted to do next.  I just knew I wanted “more” in my life.  More meaning, more impact, more balance, more revenue, more ease.

Hi, I’m Kathryn.

I intuitively see your unique and true value, the many possibilities that exist for you to have the impact you are meant to achieve, and then, I put my results-oriented “hat” on to help you create the tangible and actionable steps needed to get you there.

And, we need you to get “there.”  It’s why you are here.

Every week I talk with successful leaders who are at a crossroads moment.  They share their stories of burnout, ambivalence, running the scenarios over and over, and (in hindsight) realize that much of their drive and career choices have come from limiting beliefs and industry norms about what is and is not possible. 

I understand. I’ve been there. And my clients – leaders just like you – have been there.

And then we took a leap. A courageous leap – but not a blind leap.  

I’m creating a MOVEMENT of leaders moving from being “stuck,” to now living their Dream Scenarios; following their passion in corporations and businesses, theaters, symphony orchestras, operas, dance companies, foundations, arts and culture departments, universities and social service agencies around the world. They’ve made big decisions on career trajectory, leadership strategies, launching a new business, catapulting (and monetizing) existing talents, having balance. Together, we’re making the world an extraordinary place.
