Working with Katarina resulted in measurable improvements in the quality of my work. My relationships with colleagues strengthened, which led to better collaboration, and stronger results. But to get those outcomes, I needed to first look within. Coaching is like therapy, but for work. Katarina helped me by holding up a mirror to see my patterns and behaviors - and use those insights to help me show up as my best self in my work. Rather than telling me what to do, she co-created solutions with me that would feel right to me in my particular context. She also helped me sustain growth outside of the coaching process, by identifying structures I could use to reflect and improve on my own.

Effective coaching has been one of the most valuable resources in my career, and Katarina is a rockstar of a coach. She’s supported me in my leadership through thoughtful questions, fresh perspectives, and a caring approach. She has worked with me to come up with solutions that are sincere and authentic to who I am as a person and leader within my organization. Katarina’s coaching is attentive, creative, and empowering.

Katarina is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and insightful coach. She approaches her clients with empathy and understands how to help individuals from a variety of backgrounds achieve their professional goals. She has been a wonderful thought-partner and invaluable resource as I move into the next phase of my career. I would highly recommend working with her!

Katarina provided more than just guidance. As a new manager, I was looking for a mentor who I could openly talk to about the challenges managing a young team for a start up company. Katarina patiently listened and worked with me through each challenge, providing valuable techniques and insight. Her years of experience helped me become a more confident and effective manager.

I have worked with Katarina Jones for the last 6-8 months and it has been something that I will always be able to look back on to gain strength in my career going forward. Katarina always broke everything down in her coaching style to help make the biggest impact in a short period of time. I would recommend Katarina 10/10 times to anyone looking for a great coach/mentor in their career.

"My experience working with Katarina as a coach was exceptional. Katarina is an intent listener and asked thought-provoking questions to help me self-reflect and grow as a professional and people manager. Katarina provided useful coaching on navigating both specific scenarios such as having difficult conversations, as well as guiding more holistic developments like finding my leadership style. I had a wonderful experience and grew tremendously thorough coaching with Katarina!"

“I decided to work with Katarina because I needed an accountability partner that I could trust. I love how organized and goal-oriented she is. I’m a creative designer who is often better with bigger picture ideas, so she has helped me focus on my own goals by giving me tangible micro-goals. As a result, it has become so much easier to commit to my plans.

I also noticed that Katarina is focused on every word that I say, she is quite the synthesis master. This means that she can take the 15 ideas I'm talking about and help me organize my thoughts so that I can see patterns or notice my unsaid needs.

I'd recommend Katarina to anyone who is trying to bring more focus into their personal life and career.”

“Some coaches like to teach you within their own personal business framework, but Katarina doesn't try to force a set of ideologies on you. Instead, she listens to you and tries to provide relevant context to whatever discussion is at hand. She often does this by giving you a new set of perspectives on the subject that you wouldn't naturally have gone to on your own and then pushing you to think about your world through a new lens. For me, it feels like you're honestly reaching conclusions about yourself in a way that's not forced and makes you excited to put in real effort to make some changes.”

“I started a job as a new manager about 4 months ago and in my first week learned that AngelList was investing in leadership coaching for all managers. This immediately made me feel valued by my company and confident I could learn to be an effective manager. Since I started working with Katarina, I hired two new people to my team and, with a lot of help from her, I have been able to navigate building out a brand new team and function at my company. My new hires have ramped successfully and are working great together. Katarina helped coach me on how to build rapport internally, give feedback to new hires, create a positive team culture, all of the skill sets that are so new to me, coming from a sales background and going into management. I am so grateful to my company for  investing in coaching. It not only paid off in terms of my career development but helped me create positive new hire experiences and work better cross-functionally. Investing in developing managers is an investment in employee happiness and success.”

“Katarina makes you think about what you want and come up with ways to get there.  She provides some suggestions, only after making you think of things yourself (presumably so as not to contaminate your own thinking before you've had a chance to think about things).  She gets to learn the people you work with and always remembers the details about them.”

“Katarina is compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener. She helps me navigate complex circumstances in both my personal and professional lives. We've worked on topics ranging from personal brand building to navigating team dynamics. I highly recommend working with her!”

“Katarina is extremely patient, and a fantastic listener (with amazing attention to detail!). She picks up on the smallest things that I mention and they are often a very telling sign of a core issue that requires resolution. I look forward to our sessions because I know that she'll provide a totally different perspective on the issues I raise, and that she’ll suggest interesting tasks to encourage me to continue reflecting on, and learning from my experiences.

She’s equipped me with the tools and personalized frameworks necessary to think strategically about both projects at work, but also how to manage my professional growth... and the resulting changes in my attitude and approach are being noticed by my managers!”

“If you want to take your career to the next level, do yourself a favor and hire Katarina. She always pushes me to think strategically and prioritize my own growth in a way that benefits both me and my company. Working together has allowed me to hone in on my most important priorities, launch new initiatives that benefit everyone in my business, and even put me on a fast track to management!”
