It has been said that behind every great leader is a great team or a coach to cheer them along. Busy executives and business owners often recognize they need help but are not sure who to turn to and feel that bringing a consultant or coach into their life will be too invasive or costly. In addition, many business owners and solopreneurs are frustrated with all the demands of maintaining their normal life and business responsibilities. They can also feel overwhelmed at times while building their business and implementing the right process that will give them the time and revenue results they dream of.

“I believe that everyone has a story to tell and very seldom do they find an outlet to share it! There are so many opportunities where people can network and get leads. However not many opportunities for sharing ideas or building strong centers of influence. I love history and learning about why a person started their business or what experience they are able to share with others. This is why I have been so passionate about the creation of IBAL International Business Academies of Learning. IBAL is a place where Entreprenuers, Business Owners and Professionals can come together in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect to share their vision and creativity and have the opportunity to share the skills and tools necessary for their personal and business success. ”
IBAL believes in the mastermind approach to building business and Kathleen is proud to be one of the C0-Founders of this fast growing community based organization.

“Kathleen uncovers more ideas and ways to help you move your company forward in one meeting than most consultants come up with during years of working with companies. Why she isn’t booked out for 10 years running is beyond me. Folks, this is one Smart Cookie! Really! She is truly a gem when it comes to intelligent growth of a company. Get her on the phone and see how she can help you!” ~Andy Greider , Host, Producer, Writer , Uniqueness is Power“I highly recommend Kathleen Smart and the work that she does at IBAL. Kathleen is the consumate business networker and IBAL is not only a place to network, but a means of gaining the skills and contacts you will need to grow your business.

If there could be only one person in my Rolodex, it would have to be Kathleen due to her influence in the Atlanta Metro business community.”~Scott Burton Williams, General Manager, ATS Tech Solutions, Inc.
I believe strongly that Children are our future and in order to leave a legacy for my family and grand kids it is vitally important to give back to the community where we live. My husband and I have started a foundation called Smart Kidz Community Foundation in order to fund education and community projects that encourage kids to discover their potential to go for a big life!
