ABOUT KADENCE LLC

Kadence LLC encourages individuals to identify their passions and talents with the hope that these qualities become an integral part of their lives.

OUR STORY

Kadence LLLC was launched in 2003 in Karen St. Hilaire’s apartment when she invited some friends over to watch an episode of Dr. Phil. She ordered the show’s transcript and tape so that she and guests could discuss and asses themselves according to what they gleaned from the material.

This initial invitation evolved into a quarterly event where attendees would gather and just let their hair down. Tea parties soon followed in full swing. Interestingly, most of the women would call or come over in-between sessions to talk and ask for guidance or coaching to assist them through an issue.

The get-togethers became the foundation for workshops that Ms. St. Hilaire decided to share with the masses as a sought-after consultant to individuals employed by major financial institutions and the U.S. military.

Over a decade later, as the founder of Kadence LLC, Ms. St. Hilaire provides workshops in the areas of coaching, team-building, personal development, mastermind groups and brand cultivation. Kadence LLC is now a thriving consultancy with a stellar client list and a solid history.

MAKING HEADLINES

Book Brunch with Devon Franklin at Therapy Wine Bar

“As an Annapolis graduate, former infantry officer, Boston College Law School graduate and active duty Lieutenant Colonel in the Marines with over 22 years of service in the Armed Forces, I've always been confident in my worth, skills and goals. However, after attending just one Kadence Empowerment Sessions, I realized I placed unnecessary constraints on my career. Since then, I’ve consulted with Karen St. Hilaire on numerous career and life goals becoming a better lawyer, leader and father by implementing her advice.”

-Lt. Colonel Christopher B. Shaw, United States Marine Corps

It was both an intellectual and spiritual experience. I highly recommend Kadence workshops to any woman interested in taking her career and life to the next level. "
