1-1 Coaching with Kate

You’re a leader, a successful entrepreneur, a high achiever. Someone others look to.

So, who has your back? Who helps you when you’re stuck?

That’s where I come in.  

I work with experienced entrepreneurs and senior leaders who are ready to unlock their next level of success. 

I’ll help you turn the dials that need adjusting. 

Whether those dials are within you, or at a more strategic level.

It may be that you're banging up against recurring issues, or looping at a level you’ve outgrown. Tangled up here, you’re missing what’ll lift things to the levels you’ve been wanting. Those levels may even be beyond what you can see right now. 

I can read the complexities and nuances of the landscape you’re operating in, and am highly effective at zeroing in on the thing that’s most needed to move the needle for you. As my client Marissa put it, “You hear things in a short conversation that others wouldn’t hear.

I support the success of many industry leaders   that you might know, work with or admire.

Lets take a closer look at some Client Stories below..

Before you read these client stories, consider this: its easy to get caught up fixing symptoms rather than addressing root causes. These client stories show how crucial it is to address things at the right level. Whether you’re being distracted by the seemingly urgent (symptoms of unaddressed bottlenecks), or simply pouring energy and resources in at the wrong level (some levers are significantly more impactful than others), you might find yourself wondering as you read: Where are my blind spots? Bottlenecks? What are the bigger dials that I could be turning?


[MEET ANNA] Signed a milestone $15,000,000 contract...

When Anna first came to me, she was the CEO of a social-service agency in Australia with around 50 employees. Anna was always ‘on’. People and things were constantly coming at her. It was relentless.

Anna was at capacity. And because of it, so too was her organisation.

Background context: Anna had single-handedly built her Agency from the ground up. The mindset and hands-on approach that fuelled success in the early phases eventually became a bottleneck as her organisation evolved. She needed to fully occupy the leadership role of a CEO, and thats where we focussed.

Immediately after working together, Anna signed a milestone $15,000,000 contract. With a clear headspace and schedule she was now able to see and execute on much bigger stuff.

We achieved these shifts by completely transforming her leadership approach.

Through our work together, she stepped entirely out of day-to-day operations, cultivated a culture of leadership within her teams, developed strong boundaries, and sharpened her communication skills. Each of these dial turns allowed her to progressively take charge at higher and higher levels.

Its now been a couple of years since, and while things have continued to expand (additional investments, a new company started), Anna is also taking more time off when she needs, stepping away knowing that things are able to run smoothly without her being there.

[MEET KARLIE] Redesigned her business model for scalability...

Before working together, Karlie was a naturopath running a busy clinic, charging $80 per hour. Stretched to capacity with a full client load, she didn’t have the time or mental space to see a way out.

We rebuilt her business model from the ground up, allowing her to step out of 1:1 work entirely, and instead using her professional skills in a more leveraged way.

Together we’ve amplified her leadership within the industry, as well as expanded her brand and services into an entirely new market

Karlie has successfully run multiple launches, each generating tens of thousands of dollars. With a streamlined, highly-leveraged business model, robust backend systems to support daily operations, and a clear brand message that establishes her authority, she’s now moving confidently in a whole new direction.

“Not only did she help me see far beyond what I ever thought was possible, she also provided the plan and detailed pathways to make that vision a reality, which is rare to find.”

[MEET SYLVIE] Transformed team communications & optimised processes

When Sylvie first came to me, she was facing recurring issues within her team. It quickly became clear that these issues were symptoms of deeper problems that had been given time to fester. Addressing these root causes required not only practical changes, but also deeper personal coaching for Sylvie herself.

On a practical level, we needed to create an environment where her team could excel, addressing key gaps in the operational structure. We optimised systems, implemented clear scorecards and reporting, and supported Sylvie in making the internal shifts to step fully into her leadership role.

At a personal level, we worked on her ability to stay steady and clear when faced with tactics aimed to sidestep accountability. This included recognising the patterns and practising communication strategies that kept conversations on track and standards upheld.

For instance, whenever she tried to hold certain team members accountable, they’d find ways to derail the conversation, leaving her feeling confused and frustrated. Rather than standing firm, she’d end up consoling them—completely bypassing the standards she intended to reinforce.

Much of this behaviour stemmed from old people-pleasing habits and an outdated narrative about wanting to be a “good boss,” which kept her in a cycle of over-accommodating. This, in turn, led to underperformance and ongoing frustration.

Through our work, Sylvie learnt to hold firmer boundaries and stay steady in the face of any tactics designed to deflect or derail. Today, she leads with much more clarity and confidence, and is able to hold her team to the standards required that keep things running smoothly.

[MEET ERICA] Now attending meetings at the United Nations...

Erica originally came to me looking for support in developing online platforms around her facilitation work and land and sea management work with Indigenous people around the world.

At the time, she was dabbling in some smaller-level stuff that was a mismatch to her extraordinary talents - aka: figuring out social media when she just really needed to be out in the world, pulling the much bigger levers she’s capable of.

I remember saying to Erica in one of our early calls, “Have you met yourself?”

Not only was she not actively recognising the uniqueness of her skillset or seeing the level at which she needed to be operating, it was also clear that she was simply playing in some wrong sandpits. 

Through the coaching and redirection, Erica stepped into the lane she was meant for—and the domino effect began.

Today, Erica’s work with Indigenous people has global significance.

As a Māori woman, who works closely with Indigenous people across Australia, and the world, she’s attending meetings at the United Nations, involved in global initiatives, and serving on boards.

Throughout this time we’ve worked extensively together for visioning, strategic guidance, coaching and sound-boarding.

“I have one on one coaching sessions with Kate twice a month, and they are absolutely vital. She has this ability to shift and weave however I need the support from her. She pushes me forward when I need it, and she steps back when I need some space.”

[MEET AMY] Built out her body of work and unique frameworks and processes

Amy was juggling contracts, running workshops, and in the process of launching her first big event. She reached out, knowing she wanted someone in her corner but wasn’t exactly sure what kind of support she needed.

I could see there were a few key areas to focus on: 

  • Stepping into her “front of the room” leadership and shedding old habits of hiding
  • Recognizing and owning her (very) unique thought leadership
  • Developing her ‘body of work’ by packaging that thought leadership into a clear, teachable framework and system. 
  • Reworking her business model to make it significantly more scalable, as her current model had some serious limitations
  • Optimising her personal organisational structures to support this next level of growth.

These are the things we worked on together. With these pieces in place, I designed a unique plan to amplify national visibility and reach, while also serving as a network builder we can tap into for future regional meetups.

Amy said: "Kate’s strategic mind combined with her intuitive ability to guide and challenge, has been transformational for me. I feel fully supported by her on every level—emotionally, mentally, and strategically—she’s truly in my corner.”

If you’re feeling like you could use some extra support but aren’t quite sure what that might look like, reach out. Let’s chat about where you’re at and figure out what you might need. Because staying stuck—held back by those blind spots you keep bumping into—is a risk you don’t have to take.

[MEET MARISSA] Business now grounded in profitability and sustainability

When I started working with Marissa, a talented coach from New Zealand, her revenue was strong, but her profitability had some blind spots. That’s where we began—making adjustments to increase her bottom line.

Marissa was caught in a cycle of overworking, driven by a business model that kept her in constant delivery mode, with significant operational gaps. We tackled these step-by-step, closing those gaps to free up her time, which she then reinvested into high-priority areas. We implemented systems that included an effective triage and response process, ensuring client payments no longer slipped through the cracks. 

One key area we worked on was her tendency for over-delivery and being hyper-available. We focused on how to provide outstanding service and results while also setting clear boundaries around access and availability. This new approach elevated the experience of her work, consequently attracting more premium-level clients.

Today, Marissa’s business has gone through a complete operational overhaul. With solid systems and structures across multiple areas, combined with clear leadership expectations, streamlined communication, and firm boundaries to protect her energy, Marissa’s business is now grounded in profitability and sustainability.

“Not only did she help me see far beyond what I ever thought was possible, she also provided the plan and detailed pathways to make that vision a reality, which is rare to find. She pulled me out of my little box and helped me transition away from seeing clients in clinic, to a different business model which has given me more freedom in my week and done wonders for my nervous system. Kate’s coaching is powerful, no-nonsense, and direct, exactly what I needed to make these big shifts.

I honestly couldn’t have done it without her guidance and clarity.”
