Katie Doucette, MSW
Partner
Moving. Excelling. Beyond Expectation.
Even the most seasoned and established organizations, executives and professionals must continually confront change, challenges and opportunities.
As a triathlete, Katie appreciates the exhilaration and rewards that come from committing to and engaging in practices that lead to extraordinary results. Katie supports the development of leaders at all levels to enhance their capacity in interpersonal relationships, strategic insight, wielding greater influence with important stakeholders and engaging others in times of change.
With over 25 years of professional experience in human motivation and behavior, Katie targets practices that improve performance and optimize the talents of her clients. In her forward-focused coaching sessions, she provides objective assessments and concrete tools leading to increased self-awareness of one’s impact as a leader.
The ultimate goal is translating those insights into greater personal and organizational effectiveness. In working with organizations, she takes into account the interconnecting systems and actively engages with critical stakeholders for success.
Her genuine and straightforward approach, challenging and insightful questions along with suggested resources take place within confidential conversations, creating an environment that allows the freedom to explore important issues.
She has a masters of Social Work degree from Syracuse University and extensive training in executive coaching and organizational consulting.
“Similar to an athlete or musician improving performance through practice and drills, clients can develop new skills to advance their careers — and to increase their profits and professional satisfaction.”
Katie’s highest goal is to unlock the enormous potential that lies within all of us.

Assisting others to discover, develop and expand their potential is Katie’s life work.

In addition to the joy she derives from her work and triathlons she relishes time with family and friends and traveling.
