Kitty Boitnott
Kitty Boitnott is a Heart-Centered Career Transition and Job Search Coach who specializes in working with burnt-out teachers who want to make a career change but don’t know how or where to begin. Recognized multiple times as an outstanding online career coach, Kitty’s areas of expertise include teacher stress and burnout as well as stress management strategies.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Kitty provides coaching using multiple approaches designed to meet the individual client’s needs. The mainstay of her program is her signature course, “Jumpstart Your Job Search,” which she created in 2015 and then revised and expanded in 2019. She provides the course as the mainstay of her service but has developed multiple access points into the program, from a do-it-yourself model to a full-service program that includes email support, group coaching, and premium one-on-one assistance.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important thing that has contributed to Kitty’s success as a coach is her background as an educator and her understanding of the need for a teacher who wants to transition out of the classroom to market themselves to the job they want rather than the job they have. Teachers must learn how to use the job description’s language if they want to get past the Applicant Tracking System. Most teachers don’t know how to do that without help. What sets Kitty apart is that she has been in their shoes. She understands what teachers can do, and as a career coach, she knows how to help them translate what they can do into the language of the job they want in their next career.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
For me, it is important that the people I work with spend time exploring what it is that they want and need from a job so they are happy at both work and at home. What is right when we are young and single may not be right for us with children, or when approaching retirement. Hence, I provide coaching on understanding strengths, motivations, purpose and culture fit at work, alongside coaching on priorities in current and future seasons of life. From this knowledge base, ‘right fit’ careers/ jobs can be identified, applied for and obtained.

We use the findings to help identify what they bring to a role and what they need from a role, so they can thrive.

In a search to make a career change after 11 years in the corporate business world, I found inspiration and fulfillment through my experiences receiving career coaching. I learned during this transitional journey that my inherent strength and passion ultimately lies in connecting with people and it did not lie in sitting behind a computer screen.
The power of coaching inspired me to leave my career in Accounting and dedicate myself to helping others with their career transitions.

I started down the path of helping others through a transition in their life and career after losing my first husband, Grant, in 1999 at a young age to ALS. Life took a devastating turn for me but through the process, I learned how to create a safe space for others in difficult situations to grow and move forward.

I’m living into my values, strengths, and experiences by helping people move forward in their careers.
