Founder of Kitty Cole & Associates in 1993, Kitty has built a robust practice based on skills and techniques she honed as both a business executive and individual performer earlier in her career. She counts herself as one of the fortunate who can base a career on personal passions she has discovered: the power of communication and the sharing of that power with others to enrich their lives too.

A former Director of Training and Development for Connect Public Relations of Provo, Utah, Kitty designed and implemented a training program with more than 65 courses and coached 35 employees and clients. As a Real Estate Sales Manager and Associate for Mason-McDuffie Real Estate, Inc. of Orinda, CA., Kitty became a President's Club Lifetime Member by virtue of her position in the top 3% of company producers. While there, she also designed and trained its highly successful Working in the Nineties [W.I.N.] program.

Starting her professional career in retail, Kitty was a buyer for Robinson's in Los Angeles and I. Magnin's in San Francisco where she was promoted several times to Divisional Merchandise Manager and Store Manager. Kitty has a Bachelors degree in Management from St. Mary's College in Moraga, CA.

A zealous proponent of community participation, Kitty is an active volunteer and former board member of STAND [against domestic violence] in Contra Costa County, CA., where she has chaired its most popular "Joie de Vivre" fundraiser several times. She is also a former board member, trustee and volunteer for Diablo Regional Arts Association where she chaired its first major fundraiser in 1994.

Kitty is a member of The Institute of Management Consultants and the National Association of Realtors.
