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

9. APPLAUSE
“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
“Kadence LLC equips you with the tools to succeed in all aspects of your professional and
personal life. Invest in yourself, invest in your future.”
-Laca Wong Hammond, Vice President, Morgan Keegan Inc.
"I had a remarkable experience attending the Kadence empowerment workshop. Ms. St.
Hilaire did a wonderful job of coaching the participants through identifying, reflecting
upon and planning towards a future goal or aspiration. 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. "
