I appreciated how Kathleen took a difficult situation and persevered to begin a new way of life. I enjoyed her story of how one moment can change everything, and yet, her message was to choose to be positive and look for the signs of joy in life.

Kathleen’s story and shared wisdom was a true gift to my team. Through her journey, so beautifully spoken, we learned to take “just one tiny impossible step at a time” to make any achievement a possibility. We immediately put that into practice and my team is now “buzzing” with renewed energy and have gone from tiny steps to running. We’re grateful and transformed. Thank you Kathleen!
Christina Johnson, Eurofins President & Global Head

Thank you for such an emotional, inspiring, and influential talk. I’m sure there was something in your presentation that spoke to each one of us. My husband, who has Parkinson’s, was listening in as he has had many similiar reactions as he has readjusted his way of approaching life. Again, thank you!
