“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle… when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

What people say about us
Mentor, Manager, Teamleader, Executive, Friend, Careermaker, Advisor. Kathrin (Alpha Epta) has many ways in which she touches the lives of those around her and each is carefully planned and faithfully executed. It is more than just passion, it is the main reason she breaths, the core of her soul. I have seen her do incredible work from the blue collar worker to the senior executive, each career is equally valuable to her as she does not just fill roles, but places individuals where they belong. Vice versa, she is an honest and caring advisory to her clients, making sure they grow their business with the life and lives they need. For me, Kathrin (Alpha Epta) was a mentor who pushed and pulled me, inspired me and showed me direction. She sees value and worth, that’s what sets her apart.
