Katrina Greene has been helping individuals and businesses fulfill their dreams with life coaching since 1987. In addition to holding a master’s degree in social work, Greene is a life coach, business coach, career coach, relationship coach, and executive coach with more than 20 years’ experience assisting others create meaningful change in their lives
When speaking with Greene, there is a smile that permeates her voice and a touch of humor that must immediately put her clients at ease. “The mission of a life coach is to help individuals, couples and families of all ages realize their potential and goals—achieving them by following a clearly defined plan of action,” says Greene. “In this way, clients create a healthy, balanced,successful life, career and/or business.”
Lately Greene’s focus has been on career. Not her own career, but on her clients’ careers. Greene finds that while business coaching she sees the interconnectedness of life, and notes that when working with a client on areas of his/her business, she often finds improvement in other parts of her client’s life, including, home, family and dating.
From small businesses to 100K businesses to multi-million dollar ones, Greene says: “I help people achieve and surpass the current goals in work and life, and I do it because I love seeing people happy, with more money, getting better, removing financial blocks, heal relationships.”
If a client calls and wants to discuss a dying business, after a bit of evaluation, Greene may recognize that a person’s advertising is not targeted or that perhaps his or her website is not optimized to capture local traffic. Greene will make recommendations of things that can be done as well as resources that may help fulfill the need.
As a business coach, Greene starts with a free consultation, during which she asks probing questions to determine strengths and weaknesses, including such things as staff, marketing, personal, absenteeism and advertising. Greene also utilizes the questionnaire to help illustrate the opportunities and threats in the specific marketplace and the individual’s business goals. “Often,” notes Greene, “after the first conversation, they have a better idea of what they really want.” From that call, Greene explains how she thinks she can help the client best. It sounds obvious, but, says Greene, with a smile, “Sometimes they think they want something, but they realize they want something else.”
