AS YOUR COACH, I BELIEVE:

Healthy leadership starts with choice

As humans, we can limit what’s possible by what we believe is true. Over time, those beliefs can quietly narrow clarity, creativity, and decision-making.

Let’s partner to recalibrate what’s true for you.

There’s rarely one right answer or a single path forward - and meaningful change doesn’t come from insight alone. It emerges when we reconnect with curiosity, play, and an expanded perspective.

Together, we’ll explore tools and mindsets that stretch your capacity and choice - widening the field of what’s possible.

— Katie Desimone | Certified Coach

MORE ABOUT ME

The entry point is a goal. The impact reaches your whole life.


WHAT’S POSSIBLE


Active Goal Setting

Clarify what you’re working toward, define the steps to get there, and challenge the assumptions about how it has to happen.

Continuous Growth

While we focus on a specific goal, the insights and practices often carry into everyday decisions, conversations, relationships, and reflection - creating growth as a way of operating, not a one-off moment.

Lasting Change

Accountability is what turns awareness into action, helping new behaviors take hold and keep progress consistent over time.

What my clients have made possible for themselves

  • Before meeting Katie, I had very strict and deep-rooted criteria for how I defined a successful career and felt deeply unhappy and trapped in my role. Her guidance enabled me to reevaluate the criteria I was so trained to value and define new criteria that would allow me to be my best self both professionally and personally. Through incredibly thought-provoking questions, she changed my perspective, helped me better understand my self-worth, and narrowed my focus on what kind of job would truly motivate and reward me.

    - Carrie, VP Brand Marketing

  • Katie was a game changer. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and no bs approach to coaching was so helpful at getting me out of my comfort zone and allowing me to approach my situation with a fresh perspective. I have referred two friends to Katie and I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of seeing a coach!

    - Tyler, Emmy Nominated Film Editor

  • Katie’s coaching has brought me closer to a life of fulfillment. Her ability to synthesize and simplify the swirl of thoughts and emotions I bring to our sessions is nothing short of a superpower. She knows when to zoom out for perspective, when to slow down for deeper reflection, and what key insights to capture as a foundation for growth. She balances tenderness and directness, creating a safe and efficient space to get to the heart of what matters.

    - Margaux, Creative Director

  • Through Katie’s coaching, I found the clarity and courage to finally pursue a business idea I’d been holding onto. I had put so much pressure on myself to make it 'successful,' and not start until 'everything was just right.' Our work together helped me redefine what success means to me - something more aligned with my life today, being creative, and incorporating elements of both fun and play. This experience helped me move forward with confidence and let go of the ego that was holding me back.

    - Dana, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

  • Katie challenged notions that I didn’t even know I had about myself, by asking clarifying questions and playing with different possibilities. Our sessions gave me control over my own professional narrative and upped my confidence in interview settings and beyond. I loved having someone in my corner.

    -  Marissa, Creative Writer

  • I had my first session with Katie and had no idea what I needed or wanted. She instantly made me feel heard, and more importantly, capable. I learned so much about where I wanted to work, who I wanted to be as a leader, and the legacy that I hoped to leave behind at any role. Since then, I’ve approached my new role with confidence and integrity. As she reminded me, I had the tools, I just needed to trust myself to use them.

    - Molly, Marketing Design Lead

  • Working with Katie helped me get unstuck and reconnect with what really matters to me. Her support was incredibly thoughtful, grounded, and exactly what I needed to move forward with clarity.

    - Mark, Operations Manager 

  • Working with Katie has helped me stand more confidently in my power while navigating challenging conversations, especially as I step into a new C-suite role and manage new leadership dynamics. Her thoughtful, direct questions and ability to hold space in uncomfortable moments helped me identify where I get stuck and take clearer, more confident action. Our work has also supported me in shaping my own path as a modern marketer, moving beyond the traditional playbook and into a leadership style that feels authentic, grounded, and aligned with how I want to feel: stable, peaceful, and at ease.

    - Tara, Chief Brand Officer

  • I came to Katie feeling burned out and unsure if I needed a new job or a new career path. Through our sessions, I gained clarity and felt empowered in my direction. Katie kept me honest, challenged me in the best ways, and held me accountable to keep momentum going. We worked through a performance review and interview prep, and I walked into both feeling confident and ready to speak my truth. Her guidance made a real difference in how I approach this next chapter.

    - Ilyssa, Executive Producer 

  • My time with Katie has been both memorable and empowering. I truly felt held in all of my sessions ( and challenged ! :)) in such a way that made me feel safe and comfortable to dig deep and show my most raw self. Katie is truly a master at her craft and cares deeply for her clients to achieve their goals and get the most of the coaching sessions. Katie has a thoughtfulness in her approach and is so articulate, organized, and skillful in the way she dives into topics with you. I'm so happy to have done this coaching program with Katie as it's given me a new perspective on many aspects in my life and tools to use to help navigate once I depart from her program.
