If you've followed my work, you know that I spent 18 years in corporate life in marketing, publishing and membership services, and rose to the level of Vice President. My career was very "successful" on the outside, but internally I struggled. I managed large budgets and global initiatives, and achieved a lot. And I've learned many skills including leadership, communication, management, strategic planning and more.

But I also struggled fiercely in crafting a life and career that aligned with who I really am, inside.

After a brutal layoff in the days following 9/11, I made the decision to finally reclaim the direction of my life and entered into the helping professions. becoming a marriage and family therapist, writer, career coach, speaker. Over the past 16 years in this work, I’ve coached and trained thousands of professionals around the world.

Now, in my business Kathy Caprino, LLC, I am dedicated to the advancement of women and men around the globe, and helping professionals bypass the very difficult challenges I faced. After all, I believe we're all seeking the same things in life: fulfillment, balance, good income for ourselves and our families, wellbeing, growth, and true happiness.

I support professionals in attaining their biggest goals through my writing, speaking, coaching, keynotes and workshops, and serving as a media expert on women's careers. I'm a Senior Forbes contributor, a LinkedIn voice, an author and the host of the podcast Finding Brave, which consistently ranks in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts.
