“My husband and I have operated a small business for 25+ years and needed direction to get to the next level. Right from the start, we felt at ease with Katherine’s warm personality and positive attitude.
Katherine challenges us to dig deep to identify the goals and vision we have for our company and is helping us map out a strategy to get there. In just six short months of working with Katherine, we’ve dramatically increased our sales, become more organized and focused, and put new systems in place for our success.
She has helped us to see the value of all our years of hard work and given us hope for our future, both in our business and our personal lives. We are grateful to have found Katherine and highly recommend AccelerateGrowth45!”

"The clarity around expectations and the follow through on accountability have given me the ability to become more than just a CEO in name only. We have tried to develop a stronger business model and stick with our strategic priorities in the past and the day to day always seemed to overtake our progress by Q2 and would fizzle from there. AG45 has provided the structure, buy in and consistent accountability that has produced an environment where department goals and strategic priorities are becoming part of the fabric of Wenger."
