Katie Close has been in the business of transformation for over two decades—first her own, then thousands of others. With 25 years invested in human development and 20+ years building businesses from the ground up, she now leads visionary founders, executives, and their teams into deeper alignment, emotional intelligence, and sustainable success. She’s the kind of coach who understands both spreadsheets and soul work—because she’s lived both. Katie earned a Master’s in Agricultural Business Education from the University of Delaware. She played and coached competitive basketball and has always loved team sports. But her early definition of success came at a cost: beneath the medals and GPA were sleepless nights, disordered eating, and a deep sense of disconnection.
