The Modern Leader’s Journey
After 25 years of coaching executives through career transitions, leadership challenges, and the constant pressure to show up with presence and impact, Kathryn Lowell has distilled what actually works into a practical guide for today's leaders.
The Modern Leader's Journey isn't abstract theory—it's real strategies from real coaching sessions with leaders navigating the same complexities you face. Whether you're stepping into your first leadership role, rebuilding after a setback, or leading through unprecedented change, this book offers a clear path forward when the traditional playbook no longer applies.
Inside, you'll find the frameworks Kathryn uses with clients every day: how to move from fear to presence, decode the hidden expectations in your role, and build the kind of leadership presence that creates impact without pretense. Consider it your coaching session in book form—practical, honest, and designed for leaders who are done with surface-level advice.

Image Consulting
Strategic Professional Presence
Your professional image is a powerful business tool. In leadership roles, how you show up matters—not because appearance defines capability, but because visual credibility opens doors, builds trust faster, and reinforces the expertise you've worked years to develop.
What Image Consulting Delivers:
Visual brand alignment: Ensure your appearance reflects your professional authority and goals
Presentation mastery: Refine your delivery style, body language, and vocal presence for interviews, presentations, and front-of-room leadership.
Wardrobe strategy: Discover your best colors and styles, build an efficient polished wardrobe, and optimize what you already own for maximum impact
Executive presence training: Master the subtle appearance elements that distinguish senior leaders
Through confidential one-on-one consulting, Kathryn helps you maximize professional impact through strategic choices in appearance and presentation. Whether preparing for a transition, stepping into leadership, or showing up with greater confidence, image consulting ensures your outer presence matches your inner capability.

For more than two decades, Kathryn Lowell has helped talented professionals break through the invisible barriers holding them back from optimizing their leadership impact. As a certified executive coach and image consultant, Kathryn brings a unique dual lens to leadership development. She understands that executive presence isn't purely internal (confidence, mindset, strategy) or external (appearance, communication, delivery)—it's the integration of both.
This insight has shaped her entire practice and led to the development of proprietary frameworks like the Fear-to-Presence Model™ and the Hidden Job Description™—practical tools that help leaders understand the unwritten expectations holding them back and develop the presence, influence, and strategic communication required at senior levels.
Her new book, The Modern Leader's Journey: A Coach's Guide to Presence and Impact in Turbulent Times (January 2026), captures the essence of her coaching philosophy: that leadership isn't about perfection or performance theater—it's about showing up authentically while mastering the unwritten rules that govern advancement.
Her practical, results-oriented approach has helped hundreds of professionals navigate career transitions, earn promotions, and step into roles they once thought were out of reach. Based in Bentonville, Arkansas, Kathryn works with clients nationally through individual coaching, image consulting, and executive development programs.
