About Kathi Jo

Hello! I'm Kathi Jo DeYoung. I started out my career in education and transitioned into the business world working in sales, administration and human resources. My coach training came from the Institute of Life Coach Training, an accredited program with the International Coach Federation.

I am a director for BNI of Michigan. I am also a member of the local Leads to Success BNI group where I have served as the Education Coordinator and President.

I also volunteer for Junior Achievement in middle schools here in Grand Rapids.

My personal journey has been one of winding roads! I am married and my husband and I have four children - two boys and two girls. We have added on with our son marrying. We also have two granddaughters.
With a husband, children, parents, a career and volunteer experiences life sometimes feels like a super highway.

In December of 2003, my father was diagnosed with cancer, and he passed away in 2004. Helping him intentionally close this life was a huge journey for both of us. Then in August of 2006 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I now celebrate “No more cancer cells!”

I have published articles in national magazines and been a guest speaker on radio and television. But what I enjoy most is working with my clients. Shedding light on the challenges in their lives or helping them take steps toward achieving their goals.
