Decisive and Driven: Katie Kenney Opens TruBlue in Raleigh, NC

on

After 25 years in team management within the telecom industry, Katie Kenney found herself laid off and facing a decision about what came next. Rather than looking for another corporate role, she saw an opening to build something of her own.

Working with FranCoach coach Becca Phillips, Katie landed on TruBlue, a fit made even better by her husband’s handiness and the couple’s shared desire to become more entrenched in their community. Katie moved with such speed and conviction that she and her husband, Chris, finalized the purchase before her coach even realized it was imminent.

“Katie Kenney is the kind of person every entrepreneur hopes to become — incredibly driven, decisive, and crystal clear on what she wants for her future,” said Becca Phillips, Katie’s FranCoach coach. “Once she sets her mind on a goal, she moves with confidence and purpose, and that determination is exactly what makes successful business owners stand out.”

TruBlue’s team was equally impressed, sharing that “Katie and Chris have been terrific throughout the whole process.”

Katie’s story is a great example of what happens when preparation meets opportunity — and the confidence to act on it. FranCoach is proud to have helped point her toward TruBlue.
