"Kate Buckley's coaching touched our people here in many ways. They have talked about her poise, warmth, grace, energy, enthusiasm and her engagement of USLI’s CARE2 values into the curriculum. Kate is a talented speaker and teacher who embodied our CARE2 values as she coached, and made it fun for everyone!

"Kate is the consummate professional. Upon our first meeting, Kate quickly assessed what I was saying and understood what my goals were and where I went off track. Kate was very instrumental in helping me understand and see where I had lost sight of the big picture. As she said, often times people lose sight of long term goals and get caught up in the day to day minutiae. After my first session with Kate, I resumed my original goal oriented ways and was instantly back on track. My goals came back, were set back into motion and things started to happen. I looked forward to our meetings as they were very insightful for me and reminded me of many things I have forgotten and needed to do on a daily basis to get my motivation back in gear. I have regained my focus and am ready to go to the next level, thanks to Kate." —Gary S., Laguna Beach, California
"If you are looking to make a positive change in your life I don’t think you can do better than to work with Kate. She brings a warmth and expertise that is truly remarkable. The breadth of her knowledge and wisdom is something that I have not found in other coaches I have worked with. I plan to continue working with her in the coming years to co-create the life of my dreams!" —Michele J., Irvine, California
"Kate was my life coach for three months. From the beginning until our final session, Kate always maintained a positive attitude with me, and kept the vibe upbeat and meaningful. Each session was resourceful because Kate always put herself in my shoes and was able to offer sound wisdom and advice. She provided comprehensive recaps after each session that were very valuable and gave me goals to work toward each week. I now have a new approach to obstacles in my life thanks to her. If I did not reach my goals, she worked with me to figure out why, and gave me the tools I needed to reach them the following week. Kate never gave up on me and I appreciate her for that. I would highly recommend utilizing her coaching if you would like to get more out of your life by accomplishing the goals that give meaning and purpose to your existence. Kate gives you the tools you need to succeed and is there to provide insightful coaching and positive reinforcement throughout the entire process." — Brandon W., Scottsdale, Arizona
"You have given my son a gift and I am so grateful to you. He has moved from point A to B and is embracing it. Thank you, Kate!" — Hillary C., Laguna Beach, California
