Katie Smith

Katie B. Smith has over 15 years of executive search experience working with business leaders to grow their company and their teams. In addition to her years spent consulting and training professionals on how to hire and retain top talent, she has also provided strategic consulting to increase profitability and morale, and create accountability within organizations.

As an Executive Coach Katie works with senior executives, managers and career employees who seek new career opportunities or want to become more productive in their current role and improve work satisfaction. Her many years spent helping companies find top executives gives her an inside perspective on what companies want. 

Katie holds her Advanced Corporate Coaching certification from Coach U, and Professional Coach Certification from the International Coach Federation.  This combined with her years of recruiting and training experience, allows Katie to hone in on what companies are looking for and successfully coach her clients on how to present their best selves to key companies and constituents.

 In 1990, Katie shifted her focus inward with a desire to redefine “success” in light of personal challenges, including raising a severely hearing impaired daughter. She devoted time to teaching her how to speak and listen, and in the process, learned what it truly means to communicate with ourselves and others. During this time, Katie discovered the power of yoga and meditation to improve stress level, creative thinking, and communication. This led to creating a marketable and much-needed stress-management course for attorneys in California through Kundalini Yoga and Meditation.  She has since worked nationally with corporations and individuals bringing awareness to the importance of achieving an integrated and balanced life.

Katie believes retraining ourselves to be authentic is vital to growth in ourselves, our companies, and the teams we manage. Her clients commend her inspiration and her unique ability to help them identify tangible goals with real personal and professional meaning, allowing them to experience more freedom, higher income and greater peace of mind.        

Katie is a highly savvy business professional trained to observe clients’ inner strengths and help them design actions that produce positive results. This unique and powerful approach helps her clients develop strategies to make their life easier and more productive.

Katie B. Smith & Associates helps small business owners, corporate executives and employees navigate change and create sustainable results.
