I spent quite a bit of time feeling like I was doing all the ‘right’ things to get to my next step. I was pursuing opportunities that looked right on paper but that I knew did not feel deeply aligned, and I neglected getting honest with myself about what I wanted to be doing. Katy helped me realize my strengths, rebuild confidence, and confront what truly energizes me. She gave clear, actionable direction attuned with the times and helped me recalibrate my energy toward what was going to move the needle most. Her guidance helped me land in a role that aligns with my values, interests, and non-negotiables, and I am so grateful for the tremendous community and toolbox I built along the way!

I worked with Katy via her Purposeful Path Accelerator. Like many other PPA alumni, I knew I was at a crossroads in terms of what I wanted to do next professionally, and that I could benefit from a coaching environment to help structure my possibilities. Katy’s exceptional coaching ability, clear-eyed yet uncompromising expectations, and the community she built within PPA went even further – it unlocked dormant potential. If you have the chance to work with Katy, I strongly encourage you to make the leap. Her emphasis on a long-term mindset-shift rooted in radical clarity with yourself – instead of superficial, short-term quick wins – is a true superpower.

There aren't enough words to express how incredible Katy is. I was feeling stuck in my career. I was proud of everything I'd accomplished at the startup I joined as employee #2, but I wasn't sure where my career was going. I didn't want a job, I wanted a career. I interviewed several coaches, but the second I met Katy I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. She helped me get my confidence back that I'd lost along the way. She made me feel comfortable and supported. The people within the community of PPA is a true example of you attract what you put out there. The community aspect was one of my favorite parts of PPA, just such an added bonus. I was scared to make an investment in myself, but having gone through PPA and worked with Katy I would do it 100x over again. If you're going to invest in anything, investing in yourself is absolutely worth it.

I joined Katy’s Purposeful Path Accelerator earlier this year when I was trying to decide what came next after hopping across consulting, private equity, and startups. Over the 4 months we worked together, I gained real clarity around what matters most to me in a professional setting and shifted my mindset from simply choosing my next job to intentionally building an aligned career path. Katy is incredibly skilled at helping you recognize your strengths and communicate your value with confidence. She’s also built an amazing community of people who are generous with their time, thoughtful collaborators, and just genuinely great humans I wouldn’t have met otherwise. If you’re feeling stuck in your career or want to approach the job market from a place of confidence and alignment, I can’t recommend working with Katy and joining PPA enough.

Before joining The Purposeful Path Accelerator, I hit a ceiling in my career growth. I was second in command at my company of nine years, but wanted to make a huge pivot into tech. I had already been looking for a year and a half, juggling a full-time job, a fractional pivot role, and a job search, which led to burnout. Inside PPA, the clarity work helped me figure out what resonated most with me and how to share my value as a generalist. The program was intentionally curated and intimate, and it was exactly the healing and energizing catalyst I needed to land an amazing new role. I maintain relationships with other PPA clients to this day. You don't have to do it alone! 🖤✨

I came to Katy during a pivotal moment in my life — as a new mom to triplets, searching for balance between family, career, and impact. Katy's unique blend of genuine empathy and action-oriented guidance helped me transform how I approach my professional journey. Through our work together, I discovered that stepping back to envision my life holistically, rather than just focusing on career milestones, has enabled me to show up more fully both in family life and at work.

i was always skeptical about the career coaches i saw all over linkedin, but after seeing a post announcing one of katy's 'stand out candidate club' masterclass, i found myself intrigued instead and figured 'why not?' i had nothing to lose, especially 4.5 months after getting laid off. after taking a page of notes during that 1 hour masterclass, i booked a discovery call to see what coaching was all about. we laughed and cried through that call together, and i signed onto PPA before signing off, taking a huge bet on the investment that ended up changing my summer! i know i wouldn't have been as confident in the interviews that led to my current role if i hadn't joined PPA and put in the work by showing up to the twice-weekly group calls and diving into the course material. katy is a compassionate coach who is passionate about pushing her clients to dig into who they are, who they want to be, what they want to do, and how to get there. she has create a community of people who are all cheering for each other to win, and lifting each other up throughout the process. she is a rockstar who always brings great energy and just the words you need to breakthrough on your journey, wherever you may be within it. don't sleep on the chance to work with her!

Katy and the Purposeful Path Accelerator are fantastic. I had been in consulting for over two and a half years, but I didn’t know where to go next before joining. I was networking, but it wasn’t targeted, and it was hard to focus on the right opportunities. The way I was approaching my job search just wasn’t working. PPA helped me take it to the next level. I took the time to figure out what excites me, changed my mindset, and realized how my skills were transferable to roles I had never thought of. I landed an incredible new role at a rocketship tech company, and couldn’t be happier. Being part of PPA helped me see how much more is possible. Katy and PPA are 100% worth the commitment.

Working with Katy was a true turning point in my career. Her approach goes beyond traditional coaching. The PPA program she created doesn’t just help you clarify your professional narrative. She helps you uncover what you value in both work and life and build the confidence to go after it. Katy is smart, strategic and wise beyond her years. The global community she’s built around PPA is remarkable. I remain in awe of her ability to curate meaningful connections and sustain community momentum. If you’re looking for a coach and an engaged professional community, join PPA and work with Katy. She’s got the magic.

When I first connected with Katy and joined the PPA program, I was lost, confused, and really craving support and direction. Inside PPA, I went through the clarity phase, and it gave me permission to step back, reassess, and reconnect with what I truly wanted. That clarity became the tipping point that set everything else in motion. The beautiful part is that my new role ended up finding me — it felt aligned, almost like it was waiting for me, rather than me chasing something that didn’t fit. What I’ve learned through this process is that you never really know where your next opportunity may come from, but you can always go back to the clarity tools and practices Katy teaches. They’re a compass you can rely on. And honestly, the most impactful piece wasn’t just Katy’s time, wisdom, and energy (though that is invaluable). It was also the heart-centered community she has built inside PPA. The people are incredible — supportive, ambitious, authentic — and having access to that kind of environment is rare. Katy, thank you for helping me find direction when I needed it most, and for creating a space where transformation feels not only possible, but inevitable.

Before I found Katy, I was completely clueless about what direction to take next in my career. I knew I didn’t want to keep doing what I’d been doing, but I had no clear vision, just a growing sense that something needed to change. I joined Katy's Purposeful Path Accelerator (PPA) program to figure out what was next, and to do it in a way that felt aligned with the life I actually want to live. I’d been circling around the idea of needing help for a while, but I booked with Katy because her approach felt so grounded, smart, and human. I didn’t want hustle, I wanted clarity and a solid path forward. Over six months, I got exactly that. With Katy’s coaching, I reimagined my personal brand, realized I wanted to be my own boss instead of getting another J.O.B., and even signed my first client. But the biggest shift? I stopped waiting for permission. I started showing up - messy and real - and putting myself out there in a way that actually felt like me. Katy is equal parts strategic and soulful. She has a way of making you feel deeply seen, while also challenging you (gently but firmly) to take bold action. If you're craving more alignment in your work, and want support that’s both practical and purposeful, I can’t recommend Katy - or the PPA program - highly enough.

Katy’s words grabbed me through the screen. Before becoming Katy’s client, I enjoyed reading her incisive posts and course materials for professionals at critical career junctures, which I was at the time. As a mid-career professional in transition with a good record and network, I was not considering hiring a coach. I thought I’d “emerge” into the next phase through discipline and good old elbow grease. Then, I saw one of Katy’s clarion posts and got curious enough to reach out. She offered exactly what I was looking for: someone to push me and challenge my thinking, with process and a sense of humour. Our time together was brief, but not short on impact! Love what you’re doing Katy – your work carries far and is inspiring courage in many, me included! Thank you

I'm so happy I connected with Katy. Her courses provided the structure I needed to shift my mindset and gain clarity on what I wanted next in my career. I often entered her weekly group meeting calls defeated and unmotivated from the tough job market and left the calls energized, and excited to apply to jobs. The caliber of people she attracts are next level; high achievers always willing to lend a hand. When I received a job offer, Katy‘s guidance was instrumental in successfully helping me negotiate. Thank you, Katy!

Katy, I am so glad that I found you! When I came to you, I had no idea what I wanted next. I was recovering from burnout, unsure if I’d ever get my fire back. I had many days where I lost confidence, unsure of whether I had any redeemable skills or value to offer in this incredibly competitive market.

The PPA program content, community, and your personal coaching via Slack have been beyond instrumental in helping me to get to the other side over the last 3 months. I’ve been able to articulate clearly what my unique value is as a generalist and unapologetically lay out my own non-negotiables from companies.

I’ve interviewed with several companies, and they’ve been consistently impressed out of the gate with my ability to articulate my value, which is a testament to the strength of the Purpose and Positioning work we do in the program.

You’ve coached me out of getting trapped in the scarcity mindset so many times, helping me build muscle to tolerate discomfort and rejection in this process. I now feel much more confident that I’ll find the right fit and path, even if I need to take (productive!) breaks to rest along the way. THANK YOU!!!

Nicole Funk

Venture Manager, Celonis

Before working with Katy, I felt directionless, unfulfilled, and very overwhelmed by the prospect of job searching. I had a hard time putting myself out there (both online and in-person) to network and was worried about making a mistake. I knew I wanted a change from the typical corporate career path but had no idea where to start. I had a lot of fear that I would fall behind my peers by getting off the proverbial corporate hamster wheel.

 Katy helped me very quickly gain clarity on what was truly important to me and what kind of work I find fulfilling. She really helped me shift my perspective from "work will always be a grind" to "there is a lot of work out there that I find exciting and inspiring, and my experience and skills are very valuable to the right company". She gave me the courage and the direction, starting with baby steps, to put myself out there, network, and join local entrepreneurship communities that I find very fun and energizing.

 As a result, I:
- Widely broadened my network through special interest groups online and locally (after realizing that cold outreach is not that scary)!
- Pursued and started a new opportunity within my current company
- Updated my LinkedIn presence
- Feel wildly more empowered on how to network and find my next opportunity when I decide to make that jump

It sounds cliche, but after working with Katy I have felt a weight lifted around finding the "perfect" job. If I am moving closer to what I think I want (and that might change, and that is ok!) it is a worthwhile move. My overall outlook on job changes has shifted as well, where I think about opportunities with much more excitement and curiosity rather than trying to find a perfect needle in a haystack. This has really drastically changed how I view my career - it is much more fun and exploratory just by making this mindset change!

 Katy has such a gift in asking the right questions to help you cut through the excuses and fears that are holding you back and surface what really lights you up. There is so much more to the job search than updating your resume and writing a cover letter! She is very organized and gives you tangible next steps so the process doesn't feel overwhelming. Katy also brings so much excitement for your successes and cheers on your "little" wins, while holding you accountable to push towards your broader goals. I so looked forward to our sessions and often felt I'd make massive breakthroughs in a half hour of chatting instead of months reading self help books by myself.

Before working with Katy, my biggest challenge boiled down to inaction. Lack of clarity on what I wanted, belief that I could go after certain goals, conviction and trust to carry through with chances to grow. To put it lightly I was very unhappy....and feeling like I had nothing to work for or towards (or, really, not being able to get started) made it so much worse.

Our coaching sessions allowed me to fully understand what I really wanted, why I wanted it, and articulate it. Then, through a base of belief in me, I started to just go for it - not haphazardly, but with structure - and iterate as I tried approaches. All the while being given tactical advice and resources. The base though was a belief in myself I hadn't felt before. I'm still mid-pivot from consulting into Venture Capital, but these are some of my breakthroughs so far: I have begun relationships I never would have before, and interacting in ways I wouldn't have in the past.

Just a few weeks into working together, I turned on my conviction and self-belief in going after what I want, and dove head-first in, immersing myself in the VC world. I've been upskilling a ton, creating thought leadership, building dozens of new relationships, completely revamped my online presence, and going to networking events.

Katy has helped me see my future self, believe in it vividly, and take actions to go out and be my future self now. I have a reason for everything that I'm doing - and I'm very happy doing it! I've rediscovered belief in my potential and it's such an amazing feeling.

 My hope for you is that you give yourself the opportunity to feel this amazing energy. Commit to yourself, invest in yourself. Give the foundational work your full attention, honesty, and care to get that true clarity. Once you have it, allow yourself to be believed in. If I can, anyone can - trust me. And you will know that energy when you feel it.

I found Katy through LinkedIn and was immediately drawn to her posts about pivoting careers. Katy became not only my career coach but in a holistic sense, she became a spiritual guide too. She’s versatile, intelligent, honest, driven, and leads by example.

I was not an easy case because I come from a very niche industry, and pivoting to another was daunting. She helped me knock down the roadblocks that were holding me back. I appreciate her straightforwardness because it held me accountable.

With Katy’s help, I was able to face my fears and come out the other side a better candidate, with a better sense of my future self. I turned negatives into positives. I even recorded my first thank you Loom video!

She pushes you to do things you are uncomfortable with because when you look at the big picture, there is nothing to lose. I highly recommend working with Katy Culver if you are looking to unlock your full potential.

I worked with Katy in the fall of 2023, when I was coming off of a travel sabbatical and searching for direction in my tech industry career and my life. Katy is very skilled at what she does, but more importantly, has genuine empathy and strong intuition.

Katy helped me understand and articulate my motivations and blockers, which was key in sorting out my career transition and figuring out what I wanted to do. She took genuine interest in my work and always showed up to our sessions 120% prepared. The motivation she has to be a great coach helps the client, too — working with her made me much more motivated in my job search and helped me immensely in holding myself accountable. Katy has a great system set up to help you structure a job search, from initial brainstorming, identifying blockers and hurdles, focusing in on what someone actually wants to do, networking, standing out in job apps, making an amazing resume, optimizing LinkedIn and more.

Not only did I end up with a new job I love, but I learned a lot about what a good job search looks like and how to market yourself, skills I'll take with me for the rest of my career.

Katy also has a spiritual side to her, and if you're looking to do inner work in your job search she's a great partner in that too. We had many interesting conversations about things like manifesting and energy work that have informed how I approach my life and career, and through that we became great friends.

I highly recommend working with Katy — it's a fantastic investment that will pay off and I'm so lucky I found her!

I came to Katy when I was trying to make the jump into Startups from the corporate world. I had a wide range of startups that i was interviewing for (seed to series B upwards) and she was able to give me accurate and helpful career narrative input that made me stand out from other candidates. She also was able to provide some materials that helped prepare me for startup interviews and gave me insight into that world in general. Overall, she was a great help! I am currently in year 2 of being a Product Ops manager at a seed stage fintech company.

Katy is not only an incredibly talented, smart inspiration in her own right in her personal career, but she has a beautiful capacity to listen and translate what she hears in others. She has a clear process to help folks reflect on their careers to date and define future aspirations, and she has a very unique way about enabling community and conversation to guide action. I am so grateful to have had the chance to work with Katy!

I joined the Purposeful Path Accelerator at a point when I felt my job search wasn’t moving forward. I had just relocated, was struggling with interviews, and knew I needed a different approach. Over the time we worked together, Katy helped me refine my story, strengthen my mindset, and ultimately stand out in a way that led to real results - including landing the role I wanted. Her guidance was always practical, honest, and deeply focused on helping me show up as my best self. The biggest shift for me was learning how much my energy and presence influence the way others perceive me. For anyone looking to elevate their job search strategy and stand out in a competitive market, PPA is an excellent resource.

I worked with Katy from August to September 2024, when I was struggling to land a full-time role as a startup Chief of Staff, testing out a pivot into larger companies. During our coaching sessions, Katy helped me refine a specialty to focus on and significantly boosted my confidence in interviewing and pitching myself. What proved most valuable was learning effective cold outreach strategies, like using Loom videos, which I had previously been hesitant to try. The job market was incredibly competitive, but Katy's coaching equipped me with the tools to pivot into fractional work, where I've found much more success and been super happy. I utilized her cold outreach techniques to secure multiple fractional COO/Chief of Staff roles. The positioning, storytelling, and value proposition work we did together was instrumental in helping me market myself effectively in this new direction. If you're feeling stuck in your job search or considering alternative career paths, such as fractional work, I highly recommend working with Katy. You'll walk away feeling more confident, clearer about your path, and equipped with practical techniques to move forward — whether that's in a traditional full-time role or exploring the fractional path.

I'm a generalist focused on operations and GTM and was looking to land in more of a generalist vs specialized role. I attended a few of Katy's webinars and found that she not only seemed to genuinely understand what I was going through as a generalist in a very competitive job market, but she provided so many actionable and helpful advice that motivated me to be more focused and lean into my strengths. I was able to completely revamp my LI to better align with what I wanted to do next, focus more on networking and better positioning myself, and ultimately ended up landing in a role and company I very much wanted. I can't recommend Katy enough as a resource to help focus during a job hunt and strategically position yourself to land your dream role.

I had a great coaching call with Katy that helped me gain real clarity on my next career move. She got to it right away, asked the right questions and gave smart and thorough advice on how I could move forward. I also appreciated her positive pragmatism in this challenging market. I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity and direction in their next move, particularly for people in non-traditional career paths or those who "wear a lot of hats."

I attended two training sessions provided by Katy with one being the Stand Out Candidate Club Masterclass and the second one being LinkedIn Leveraged: Maximize Your Visibility in the Job Search. We also had a 1:1 together. My time with Katy empowered me to create a personal brand on LinkedIn and energized me to do amazingly fun things to stand out as a top candidate during a recent job search. That being said, what inspires me the most about Katy is her in-depth knowledge around navigating the job market as a generalist, as well as her willingness to share this knowledge with others. Katy is absolutely brilliant in this regard and I recommend her coaching services to anyone.

I was in between jobs and needed all the help I could get. As an empathetic friend, Katy did not hesitate to share me her detailed tips and tricks along the way, to provide me with an edge over other applicants. She provided clear, specific feedback for improvement and regularly checked in on me (even when she didn't need to). Katy is knowledgeable, effective and caring - all the attributes you would want in a career coach!

Finding a job is a lot of work. It feels like a job in and of itself. And it can be quite a frustrating and intimidating experience. Working with Katy has made everything feel way less daunting. Her framework has allowed me to feel prepared and organized every step of the way. This was especially helpful in bringing clarity to what I'm looking for in my next role (it's amazing how many people skip this step!). Networking in particular was an area I felt uncomfortable with, and her practical guidance gave me the confidence I needed. Above all, Katy's consistent presence and regular check-ins made me feel supported and reassured amidst a process that offered lots of potential for stress.

Katy is very helpful in emphasizing the little things that end up putting you above other candidates. She pushed me to utilize video thank you messages post-interviews, which I really think gave me a edge in this market! She helped me put the energy into the process where I didn’t feel it necessary. Whether it's how to engage with a connection, approach an interview, or build relationships that end up getting you a new role I would highly suggest working with her!

My favourite thing about working with Katy is how personalized the experience is. She really takes time to drill down on identifying exactly what you’re looking for - which really helps to guide the rest of the process. From there, Katy provided sources to find opportunities, a comprehensive list of interview questions to study, and constantly checked in throughout the process. (She also has one of the fastest response times I’ve seen). Katy hadn’t even asked me to provide a testimonial, but I can’t recommend her enough. An awesome experience and coach - thank you Katy!

I attended a LinkedIn training that Katy ran and then met with her 1:1. Katy is present, engaged, overflowing with energy, and determined to overdeliver. She excels at getting to the heart of your career goals and obstacles with honest, direct-to-the-point conversations and practical advice, which enable you to take the next step faster. Katy not only coaches but also leads by example, having joined multiple mastermind groups herself, moved internationally, and grown her coaching business all in the space of 12 months. If you want more out of your career and life, look no further!

Katy's support helped me reframe my consulting experience in tech-friendly language. In our relatively short interaction, she was able to help me with my resume, LinkedIn, and broader job search. She spoke with empathy and clarity; I understood what she said and why she's saying it. Would recommend her to any career switcher that's struggling with the ambiguity of the job search
