About Me

Hi! I’m Katherine Smith, or Coach Kathy for short. I’m a seasoned business professional, professor at in the California State University system, and certified business coach through Life Coach Institute of Orange County. I spent close to 20 years in the aerospace industry helping build internal strategies while increasing efficiency. I began applying my own Success Formulas to students, professionals and business organizations alike. I started to notice that, through my guidance and mentorship, clients were seeing unparalleled success, and this sparked the birth of In Your Korner.

My passion for building high-performance teams and my clear understanding that organizations and individuals are complex and multidimensional allowed me to create In Your Korner to focus on career development, succession planning, project management, and team building. With these building blocks, I can create programs that are tailored to yield specific results. At its core, In Your Korner believes in all aspects of growth — personal, career, and business — and it utilizes a unique mixture of assessments to create a specialized method, The Korner Method to get you these results.
