Kathleen June

Joseph Campbell was right: if we truly want to change the world, we must teach people how to live in it. This is precisely what Kathleen June accomplishes by igniting a passion for teaching and learning in coaches and thought leaders. Guiding them to build their own Soulful & Structured courses or craft their signature speaking presentations, Kathleen ensures that the final product is authentically theirs—a course or talk that becomes their most reliable marketing tool and source of repeat clients.

The task of distilling content, engaging busy learners, and guaranteeing that people walk away with practical, usable skills can be daunting. However, with over 30 years of experience in instructional design and training trainers, Kathleen offers the invaluable gifts of a sharpened focus on content and a shift from merely talking at people to fostering lasting, useful learning specifically tailored for adult learners.

In building a course with Kathleen, clients can expect their most soulful life experiences to be intricately woven into the course structure. This approach ensures that their innate wisdom, deep passion, and aspirations for their clients enrich every aspect of the course or talk. The outcome is learners who acquire real-life skills and are eager to return for more.
