Katalytic

I chose the word Katalytic for my business because I'd love to serve as a catalyst for you to increase your well-being in the areas of personal finance and personal leadership.  And just as a car’s catalytic converter reduces toxic pollutants and controls emissions, the Katalytic Converter method helps people take control of their finances and their lives, reduce stress, and convert toxic situations into hopeful ones.  I am passionate about this, so if that’s what you’re after, you’re in the right place.

I attribute much of my daughter's financial prowess to the things she learned with Kathleen. She is now 22 and still putting into effect the principles that impacted her to be a careful spender, a good planner, and wise with her budget. She has made it her goal to stay out of debt and away from the use of credit cards. Not only a blessing to her but to this mama's heart as well!

"Worrying about credit and finding  ways to take out car loans are things my friends have been talking about recently. I told them about the sinking fund concept (dividing the full amount needed by the # of months they have so they save up until they have enough cash) and how budgeting is extremely important in everyday life. There have been times I've run so low on money that I don't think I'll be able to last the next week, but once I put together a budget, my finances all make sense on where each dollar needs to go and where I can save or spend. It saves so much stress, and financial stress may as well be one of the most difficult to handle!

This mentoring did 3 major things for me. First, it raised awareness of my financial situation and upcoming needs. Second, it made me realize that all of the little choices that I make with my money are so important. This has given me an idea of how I need to be handling money. Third, it's made me dream about what my future financial state could be and has given me concrete examples of how to get there. Overall, I feel much more ready to face the world of finances being confident in my own knowledge and having ideas of where to look for help when I need it.

Kathleen is a fantastic instructor with a true passion for teaching about Personal Finance. She genuinely cares about her students and their success and will work with them to help them achieve their goals. This class is so relevant and had us all left thinking “Why don’t they teach this as a standard course in school? I’m glad to be learning it now, but I wish I had learned these things 5 years ago too!” Well truly better later than never, no matter where you are at in your finances, no matter what life stage, becoming financially literate (or even savvy) starts NOW (right where you’re at) and Kathleen will help you get there.

This Personal Finance class gave me language for the future. I am 19 years old and don’t pay for a mortgage or insurance yet, however this class gave me words to what is coming in the next seasons of life. It also gave me foundational information for how to manage my money and what a healthy perspective of money is. This class is extremely relevant and has been the bridge into my next stage of life. Mrs. Rumford taught this class with 'the heart of a teacher' and was so faithful in walking with me throughout the class. I highly recommend taking Mrs. Rumford's course!

​Through the financial course that my wife and I took with Kathleen, we feel 100% more confident in dealing with our finances. We learned crucial financial information that we wouldn’t have even thought to look at before the course. Now, my wife and I know how to budget well and truly manage our money with wisdom and discernment thanks to Kathleen. We are in our early 20s and, honestly, we wish we had learned this stuff even earlier. Not only did Kathleen teach my wife and me so much, but she also fostered a community for a group of us in our 20s to grow together and learn how to be financially responsible.  The earlier you can get ahold of this information the better! And if you are lucky enough to have the chance, I recommend Kathleen Rumford as an instructor.

'I don't know where my life, my finances, would have gone if I hadn't taken Personal Financial Katalyst (using Financial Peace) with Kathleen.' I've repeated this sentence numerous times to family members and friends. Before I took the course, I was passive with my finances and debts, and now I can say with confidence that is not the case anymore. Kathleen not only supported me IN class with copious amounts of wisdom and support, but supported me outside of class with additional information and celebrations as I made progress and achieved small "wins." I cannot recommend this course enough, but moreso, Kathleen Rumford. I mean every word!

Taking the Personal Finance course has been on my "to-do" list for a while now. When I saw Kathleen was highly recommended by a friend of mine, it was a no-brainer to give it a shot. I am so glad I did! Kathleen is passionate, engaging, and a wealth of knowledge. She broke things down for us to understand, answered our questions, and opened the door for different discussions. It was also helpful to hear others' experiences/questions/situations and learn from them with Kathleen's guidance. Finances are extremely important and I am very thankful Kathleen was the one to provide me with the knowledge and tools I need to succeed. Highly recommend this course and Kathleen to anyone interested!

Kathleen has been an eye opener for me. She helped me see and realize things about myself that I couldn't see. Kathleen helped me have a different perspective on possible career fields, asking the right questions that had me thinking on all aspects of my life and led me to a more focused and prioritized action plan. I am very grateful that I got to talk with Kathleen because I now have a clear goal about my next steps.

Kathleen has been my coach for over 6 months, while I have been going through some tough patches in my life. She has encouraged me to be more positive and look at every situation in different ways that have come up with life changing results!  Every time we end our sessions I feel motivated and energized.  I look forward to every session.  Thank you Kathleen!

I have had the pleasure of being coached by Kathleen over the past nine months and she has been a huge support for me as I work through various home and work situations. Kathleen is so easy to talk to and challenges me to go further to reach my goals. I really feel that  she is 100% invested in ME and pushes me to new places. She helps me make sense of all the noise going on in my head and has helped me stay on course. Everyone needs a Kathleen in their life!
