Kathy Light

Founder Kathy Light Leadership, Motivational -Informational Speaker, Coach

Since the early 1990s, Kathy Light's work has centered around developing leaders:
helping them grow their businesses, make more money, and lead more satisfying and impactful lives.

Among her clients, colleagues and friends, she is frequently referred to as one of the most optimistic and positive people they know. She is known for helping others feel great about themselves and motivating them to even higher levels of greatness.

In 2001, she left a successful career as Director of Training and Leadership Development for a large financial services firm to pursue her dream of launching her own coaching and training business, Kathy Light Leadership. She maintains a thriving coaching and training practice, serving primarily sales executives and high performing small business owners who are dedicated to continued growth and who value the ideas, energy, resources and accountability that Kathy provides in their coaching relationship. Many of her coaching clients have remained her clients for several years, growing both their business and personal lives significantly each year.

In addition to her work as a coach, speaker and writer, Kathy is an accomplished soprano. For much of her career, her public vocal performing has primarily included classical music, usually in churches. A recent heart-opening moment made Kathy keenly aware that her passion for singing has not been fully satisfied through her current means of expressing it. She realized that in holding back this gift, she is not only holding herself back, but holding back on the number of people whose lives she can impact. Inspired by this realization, she created a powerful presentation which combines her gifts of singing and speaking in an entertaining and compelling message about listening to the song in your heart and letting it out for the world to hear. Entitled

"Releasing the Song in Your Heart," this presentation is inspiring audiences to pay attention to their deepest dreams and take action to make them come true. Kathy's second book, Release the Song in Your Heart© will share many stories of people inspired by this message, and how they are realizing their dreams. She expects the book to be released in 2011.

Kathy's upcoming first book, Reasons Why You Rock: Realize Your Gifts; Amplify Your Personal Power©, is a reflection of her life's work. It reflects the knowledge and experience she has gained helping people realize and develop their gifts, and by doing so, truly amplify their personal power and their ability to impact the lives of others. Kathy's intention is that the book will be read by thousands of individuals who have not yet realized the extent of their greatness, and who are ready and willing to do so. Her hope is that those who read the book will use it as a guided journal to record the reasons why they rock, and by reading these reflections regularly, it will become a source of ongoing inspiration throughout their lives.

Kathy earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, and a master's degree in business administration from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Kathy lives in Plano, Texas with her talented and loving husband of 23 years, Roger Light, and their two terrific children.
