Get Ready to Change! (Really, this time…)

How many times have you said you wanted to change something about yourself, your work, or your life? Change seems to be the buzz word everywhere. But how do you actually bring about lasting personal and professional change? How do you stay motivated to achieve your goals? How do you tap into the power to create the life of your dreams?

Kathy Wilson, a former star collegiate and professional basketball player and coach, is an experienced organizational training facilitator and a leading authority on powerful behavioral change and communication strategies. Balancing the lessons she learned on the court with her knowledge in the areas of leadership coaching and organizational management, Kathy brings a unique perspective on how to create positive change in your personal and professional life. In a day and age when everyone is trying to “make things happen” and “make some changes”, Kathy can give you the tools and strategies to understand just how to do it.

Her path to this field began with her coaching women’s collegiate basketball for seven years at The University of Mississippi (1997-1999) and The George Washington University (1999-2004). In 2002, while still coaching collegiate basketball at GW, she founded her own company, Life Leadership Unlimited, LLC, and began coaching people to create better lives for themselves. In 2004, Kathy left women’s collegiate basketball in order to expand her services and devote herself full time to helping people discover how to live their most powerful lives.

In 1988, Kathy received her BA in Radio, Television & Motion Pictures (now Communications) from the University of North Carolina @ Chapel Hill while on a basketball scholarship. In 2001 Kathy returned to school to receive her Graduate Certificate in Leadership Coaching. She returned again in 2002 to receive her Masters in Organizational Management, both from The George Washington University.

Kathy is a member of Success in the City, the National Association of Black Sports Professionals (NABSP), Yes!Circle, and she sits on the board, as Membership Co-Chair, of the Greater DC Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). She also volunteers her time with the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). Kathy is the author of Not Your Mother’s 40! How to Live a Powerful, Fit, Fabulous & Healthy Lifestyle at 40 and Beyond! and SUCCEED AT CHANGE! Understanding and Mastering the Change Process, Parts 1 & 2.

In addition to her training, Kathy has expanded her focus to empowering professional women to discover their power within their imperfections. With passion and energy, Kathy espouses the concepts of powerful living, and commits herself to the values of possibility, empowerment, and transformation..

By far, though, Kathy’s greatest accomplishment is being a mother of a precocious, smart, creative, and amazing daughter, Elayna, whom she adores. Kathy resides in Alexandria, VA with her family.
