ABOUT
Kathryn M. Downing, PCC, J.D.
As an executive coach and coaching supervisor Kathryn draws on the knowledge and perspectives gained from 30 years in business and Corporate America, almost 10 years of executive coaching experience and 5 years as a coaching supervisor. She comes with a joyous commitment to lifelong learning and her beliefs in the resourcefulness of her clients and the coaches she works with in supervision.
Her leadership experience in business (including as Publisher, CEO and President of the Los Angeles Times) and on the boards and as Chair of non-profit organizations has given her a real world understanding of organization and systems dynamics.
In her coaching supervision practice she works with executive coaches, with a variety of experience, to deepen their resourcefulness and resiliency, learn about themselves and explore their work. She co-creates a safe space for coaches to reflect on and about their body of work. One of her core values in this work is that deepening one’s personal understanding will enable one to deepen their professional understanding. She believes in holistically approaching supervision with a focus on the self as coach.
She is currently a doctoral student at Middlesex University, London working toward her professional doctorate (DProf) in Coaching Supervision.
She is affiliated with the Hudson Institute of Coaching:
- Coach Supervisor, Hudson Supervision Center
- Member of Hudson External Mentor Coach (EMC) Team
- Member of Hudson Leadership Team
She is affiliated with the Coaching Supervision Academy as CSA Faculty UK & Asia Pacific.
Her work is informed by deep reflection and integration of the Brené Brown approach to authenticity, resiliency, wholehearted living and The Daring Way™.
