Experience:
Leadership workshops are a powerful and pragmatic way to introduce new tools, approaches and science-backed frameworks that help create a common approach to leadership in your organization.I offer a variety of workshops on topics like inclusive leadership, leading through change, building resiliency, and decision-making. I am known for facilitating experiences that meet people where they are, inspire new ways of seeing, and provide practices that participants can apply right away to the challenges they’re facing. They’ll also gain new awareness of how their individual and collective actions shape culture and drive results on a daily basis.
Deliverables:

Custom and co-designed learning outcomes tailored to your unique organizational context.

We’ll start with creating a clear contract that outlines your goals and commitments. Then we’ll move on to explore your current situation, take time to imagine an inspired future and design and execute a plan of action.We’ll wrap up by reflecting on your key learnings and plan for the road ahead.

I know some things, but I will never pretend to know more about your circumstances than you do.
Think of this more as collaboration than consulting: you’ll remain in the driver’s seat and I’ll bring questions that will shed light, reveal new options, and present solutions you didn't see before.
My goal is to show up as a creative thinker, seasoned leader and curious learner with decades of experience to leverage in pursuit of pragmatic solutions that we’ll fine-tune together to succeed in your context. -

My Approach
Creative
Leadership challenges require visionary thinking and practical solutions. I grapple with complexity to design solutions that are both elegant and easy to understand.
Collaborative
I make it a priority to work together as peers to co-create strategies and solutions that have a fighting chance of taking hold.
Human
I believe that organizations thrive most when they inspire and create the conditions for performance - rather than manage it.
Honest
words
Here’s what people say about what it’s like to work with me.

“Truly amazing. I get access to some of the best leaders in the world, but none of that could be replaced by what I experienced today. Thank you.”

"Kate is incredible, and I don't say that lightly. She has a gift for listening and picking up on details and common threads - and for providing light structure where there are takeaways from each session without it feeling like a lesson plan. I feel so lucky to be coached by Kate, and I know others do too.”
-
"Thank you for leading programs that make me a better team member, manager, and overall human being.”
-
“Kate’s thoughtfulness, human-centered thinking, and the reasonableness of her approach and contributions are always a north star. Thank you for representing the best Airbnb could be and forpulling all of us towards a better version of Airbnb, and maybe ourselves too.”
