Lily says...Kiala has an uncanny ability to know what you want to do with your life, even before you realize it yourself. With Kiala's nurturing and targeted guidance, I went from lost to found (having quit my teaching job to starting my own business and working from home), all in the space of a few months. Every one-on-one call is like talking to a compassionate friend and cheerleader who has the insight into sifting out what is unnecessary and highlighting exactly what is needed to reach your goals. Because of Kiala, I have grown exponentially, both in my business, and my creative life. And both my biz and creative life feels within reach now. Kiala helps me break down my big dreams into manageable and concrete action steps. Talk about accountability! I highly recommend using Kiala as a compass that leads you back to your heart, doing the life work you were meant to do.

Kelly says...Calls with Kiala are not only inspiring, but are literally chock full of business strategy ideas that I never even dreamed were possible. She generously provides the ideas and then helps you to brainstorm action plans that turn the ideas into reality. Her keen eye saw potential in me and my business that I didn't even know existed. I get so energized and empowered from our calls that I have to be careful when we talk or else I am too excited to sleep! I look forward to each call and smile for an hour afterward!

Ruth says..."Where do I start in describing my journey through Kiala's 3 D course? Working with Kiala has given me a totally new perspective on what it means to create online courses. The courses I've created using the 3D process, are now the foundation of my budding business. Here's how I see Kiala. She is part magician, idea wrangler, business insight strategist. Most of all though, I find her to be a creative visionary, who holds space powerfully, and continues to keep me on track toward creating an actual online business. Each time we have a coaching session, she reminds me to look at what I've created. This is really an important idea because it's all to easy not to see(believe) in what I've done. Kiala is big on reminding me to celebrate my accomplishments.
So, if you are ready to create, and get your offerings out into the world, the 3D(Design, Develop and Deliver) is where you need to be. This course offers a wealth of information and ideas that will help you in your business building process. Kiala's 3D provides knowledge, strategies and steps for creating a business that is sustainable, and one that will move you toward prospering emotionally and financially. So get yourself ready and prepared to step into the winner's circle. Let the 3D course guide you toward what's waiting to be created by you". --M.

Virginia says...If you want one on one assistance with developing your creative business - Kiala's the one. I had the dream of developing a couple of e-courses to supplement my in-person art workshops. I successfully released my first course and there is no way I could have done this without my sessions with Kiala! Kiala makes the "possibilities" become "realities," and her vision of what's possible for you and your business is doable because she sees the steps you need to take in order to reach your goals. She's clear in her directions and level headed and doesn't do drama or judgement. She is all about helping you succeed. She's thrilled when you do. I give her 5 stars. I've learned so much about what I am capable of achieving as a result of working with Kiala.

Sheila says..."When I started the Right Brain Business Plan® e-course with Kiala, I knew I wanted big things to come from the process. I knew I had my biggest year ever, ahead, and I needed open-hearted and firm guidance from someone who had navigated the ups and downs of business. The work I did in that e-course with Kiala laid the foundation for me to launch a new program and a new book within months of finishing my time with her. I also gained the courage to jumpstart my 1-on-1 coaching -- with ease! Kiala is such a go-getter that she has experienced an enormous range of business practices and has an extensive toolbox. What I value most about Kiala is her compassionate heart and strong encouragement to go for it by listening in, dreaming big, and most importantly, taking action."

"Because of Kiala I now work effectively in a team and I have a passion for teaching others and being true to myself.

"I would call Kiala a teacher, an encourager, a mentor, and an initiator. The approach she uses is unlike any other approach I've been exposed to. Her intentions are deeper. Her approach is not just about coaching, but about transforming while helping you accomplish your main goal and goals that you don't know you have yet. She inspired me to think positively and realistically, which fin-tuned my attitude towards life." --Fabiola Duncan, Medical Supervisor |
