About Me
Kathleen B. Schulweis is a Professional Certified Coach, trained in Co-Active Coaching as well as a professional Sociologist with a focus on professional growth and development for women and men. Kathleen’s private coaching practice consists of the Chiefs of major non-profits and for-profit companies as well as individual solo-preneurs and professionals. Her clients hail from around the globe and focus on business development, communication and team-building strategies, and change management. The common thread among clients is a desire to manage change and combine professional success with personal fulfillment.
She is the founding President of the Southern California Chapter of the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (1999 - 2001) - the leading organization for female entrepreneurs in high growth technology and life science companies. During her term as President, FWE established a stronghold in Southern California and formed three separate organizations – Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego County. Its members raised over $600,000,000 (yes, 600 million dollars) during that time.
Kathleen Schulweis is the founding Director of the California Institute of Technology, Caltech Women's Center, where she worked for seven years to protect and advance the rights of female scientists. While at Caltech she formed the Program for Women Entrepreneurs, a project designed to help facilitate technology transfer for women scientists and to empower them to choose entrepreneurship as a career. In the mid-1990’s Schulweis was a co-investigator on a National Science Foundation grant to develop a set of studying images of female scientists at work and in life.
Prior to her stint at Caltech she empowered women with special programs, services, and policy development at the University of Southern California and at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Kathleen Schulweis earned her coaching certifications at the Coaches Training Institute, considered to be the Harvard of coaching schools, her Professional Certified Coaching Certification through the International Coaching Federation-the leading certifying organization in the world, her graduate degrees in sociology at the venerable UCLA and her Certificate in Business Management Effectiveness at the University of Southern California (go Trojans), all while happily married to her life partner Dr. Seth Schulweis and mothering her three children and various pets.
Clients include professionals, business consultants and coaches, non-profit founders, and scientists and researchers who are either launching or growing their businesses. Clients typically double their income and personal satisfaction once they work with her.

Workplace Bullying: Hard Times Make Defending Harder
Here is a brief case study of the impact of our current economic circumstances on our perspective and therefore our confidence.

I picked up this book because of my on-going research into the bullying phenom thinking I might find some assertiveness-training and confidence-building insights. Well, I forgot about all that great research on gender differences and am… Continue
