About Kathleen Barton, MBA
Over twenty years ago Kathleen realized her life was out of balance. She spent all her time working, going to school, and studying. She didn't have time for her husband much less herself. Faced with the prospect of losing her marriage, she realized she had totally lost sight of her priorities. That was the start of her life balance journey.
In the ensuing years, Kathleen sought out alternative work arrangements to bring more balance into her life. In 1987 Kathleen found a job-share partner and sold the concept to her boss. She worked in the job-share while she completed her MBA. After her first child was born, Kathleen went back to work full-time while her husband, "Mr. Mom" as he called himself, stayed home with their daughter. After their second child was born, Kathleen went back to work part-time after taking six months maternity leave. Today, Kathleen has teenage kids, and runs her own business from a home office.
Kathleen likes to refer to herself as a "reformed workaholic", and as such, wants to help other women break their "achievement addiction" and live a more fulfilling, balanced life with less stress and more peace.
Kathleen Barton earned a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Business from California State Universities. She received her coach training from the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching.
