Mastering Confidence author Kathy Archer has been in your shoes!

Hi, I'm Kathy
I help you lead with confidence, so that you can enjoy impactful leadership!
​
I am a Leadership Development Coach now, but I didn't start out that way. 
  • I am a Child and Youth Care graduate and after years in leadership, I obtained my leadership degree.
  • I spent 25 years in the social profit / nonprofit sector in Alberta Canada
During that time, I was a youth worker, home visitor, and family support worker before moving into a variety of leadership role.
​
I worked with vulnerable youth, families involved in the child protection system, individuals with disabilities and those with FASD. 

Now, I coach, teach and mentor women like you to lead with confidence!

Straight-forward and clear, Kathy provides a path forward for mastering confidence. Her real-life accounts are relate-able and helped me acknowledge my own stories to find my way forward.

I've regained my confidence with this valuable tool
Learning to use the Inner Guidance Cycle (Pause, Ponder, Pivot and Proceed) has been a life saver for me!
It is such an invaluable tool. I can use it midstream to switch gears. 
  • Where I used to lose it, I am now able to keep calm. 
  • Where I used to feel inferior, I now can regain my confidence.
In working with Kathy and through her book Mastering Confidence, I have gained incredible confidence. I not only present differently both personally and professionally, I now feel competent and capable and feel that I belong, exactly where I am!
Sue Holt, Executive Director North East Family Connections, Calgary

The  accompanying FREE course online was crucial to master my confidence
​I gave the members of my team each a copy of Mastering Confidence. We shared a bit about our journeys with each other and how helpful Mastering Confidence was. The team members are all inspired, and thankful Kathy wrote Mastering Confidence. 
  • For me, the online course was crucial and prompted me to really practice the great insight’s shared in Mastering Confidence.
  • The online videos and exercises in the accompanying course gave me the confidence when I was feeling overwhelmed myself, to tell my team I believe in us as a Team and we can all do this.
Thank you, Kathy. You touch lives and support us in ways you may not imagine!
Grateful reader!
