About Kitty
Kitty Barrow is a co-founder, senior partner, executive leadership coach, trainer, and speaker for Southwestern Consulting with more than 30 years of professional sales, leadership, and entrepreneurial experience.
Kitty spent the first 15 years of her career leading successful sales teams. She gleaned invaluable insight from working with thousands of women over the years, helping them develop their sales and leadership skills. Kitty then increased her experience when she stepped out of her comfort zone, changed industries completely, and led the way to grow Southwestern Consulting from the ground up in a male-dominated field. Not only does Kitty currently lead one of the top Southwestern Consulting teams worldwide; her own sales records went unbroken for seven years. Her experience makes her one of the premier thought leaders on the subject of “leading like a woman.”
Now, as an executive coach and speaker, Kitty specializes in giving her clients the tools they need to advance in leadership personally and professionally. In her high-energy keynote, she draws from her own journey and the journeys of other successful female leaders to show women how leadership starts within. Kitty also shares solid strategies that everyone can apply to enrich their lives and solidify their businesses.
Kitty holds a bachelor’s degree from Auburn University, with a Master’s in Sports Medicine. She is the happily married mother of two beautiful daughters (a real-life “soccer mom”). In her spare time, she enjoys improv, IronTribe Fitness, road biking, sailing, and Nashville Major League Soccer. She is active in her community, serving on the boards of Safe Haven Family Homeless Shelter and the Greater Nashville Auburn Club.
Kitty is the best coach I’ve ever worked with. She was tough, demanding, but fair. The techniques she taught me allowed me to go beyond where I thought I could go. I’ve now built two successful companies from the lessons I learned from her. I would pay 10 times what she charged for the results I’ve achieved. I can’t thank her enough.

Kitty is a true sales professional – high energy level, hard working, knowledgeable, positive and persistent. The consulting services she and Southwestern offer were a very effective use of our sales training budget dollars: the three sales people we enrolled in the SW Consulting program all won our President’s Club trip to Ireland […]. This was the first time each had qualified for the annual trip.

Great for the younger generation. I loved her energy and her message. Kitty spoke well and would be great to talk to our men in the company. Kitty has lots of energy and was engaging. Overall felt it really applied to our career, no matter what group you’re in. Really enjoyed her section on Owning Time and discerning when/where to apply our time

It was great to hear Kitty discuss the real stories of her actual clients, it gives the material much more weight versus just speaking theoretically. The information about approaching people was the most valuable. I loved how she covered what to do and what not to do in terms of language and non-verbals (body language). I loved her energy…the quotes are great. I am actually going to print a few and hang in my office. I really liked “the value you have is from the impact you have on other humans.”
Loved it! Appreciated that her personal experiences lined up with exactly what I am going through right now. She was great and could tell that she truly believed in what she was saying. Loved one of her quotes and stories. It was so spot on as I’m living with this situation currently….so decided that I’m going to have a talk with this person to build our relationship.

Kitty your presentation on Monday was absolutely fabulous. Your inclusive and participative approach was tremendous as our staff was really impressed. The feedback and the excitement from our Alabama staff was a thing of beauty. The fundamentals of the presentation will be tools to use professionally and personally.
