Bob-Kat, PhD

is all about making it happen. Between trying to keep the big Boss happy and clients engaged, Bob-Kat sometimes pulls her hair out. Thankfully, she's got the mountains to keep her sane.

Bob-Kat lives in Denver where she rocks it out as a Director of Sales for a data and analytics company.

“Bob-Kat is quirky.”

Bob-Kat is an interesting cat. She's great to work with, but definitely isn't shy about being herself or bringing her blanket into the conference room. At the end of the day, she works hard and is hard at work being friendly, generous, and easy to work with.

We're two friends who want to do something to help you be awesome at your jobs. We feel there is a lot of focus on leadership, but not all of us are in "leadership" positions at work. So, how do we make a difference? We stand out.

We united in graduate school where we were immersed in leadership and organizational theory. While we all get jazzed about academic research (I mean, who doesn't love a good lit review, right?!), we think there is a whole lot more to figuring out how to navigate our careers. It can be tough. Nothing quite prepares you for how to deal with manipulative bosses, competitive coworkers, or the pieces of your job you just plain hate.

Making the "powers that be" happy often ends up requiring working more hours. And, sometimes that's what it takes. But, what we believe in is finding ways to create space for influence at work, to not being that worker-bee, but being someone who has a voice. 

That's where we come in. We're your go-to support for easy-to-implement ideas that will help you make an impression, expand your influence, demonstrate your worth, and enjoy your job. We're here to help you standout without working overtime. 

Join our crew and share your stories with us of how you made a difference with #impresstheboss.

We can’t wait to know you.
