Combining her background in communication and human resources leadership with practical advice and a deep knowledge of business and mindset principles, Kate isn’t quite like any other “consultant” or "coach" you’ve encountered.
A true self-made women, while raising two boys as a single parent, Kate worked as a senior human resources leader before teaching herself entrepreneurship. She resigned from corporate life to launch her own business.
Kate’s mission has always been to empower current and aspiring leaders so they can elevate and inspire the business landscape with impactful strategies and processes. Ultimately, impacting results and bottom line.
Today, she is doing so.
Kate is from California and resides in the Bay Area. Her boys are teens.
Kate challenges and inspires people to take confident action as a part of them transitioning from what was to what will be. As a part of that endeavor, Kate has taken years of her own setbacks, successes, and gratitude, and distilled them into simple yet powerful lessons that will help anyone become whom they are truly meant to be.
As a competitive youth tennis player, Kate grew up learning the unfortunate approach “If you’re not winning you’re losing”. After years of self-reflection and self-awareness, she repositioned her approach to be
“if you’re not winning, you’re learning”.
She influences others to embrace their strong suits and talents along with their uniqueness and flaws to have fulfilled and meaningful careers and lives.
