Helping creative leaders love their work

Sound interesting? Let’s go.

Guiding creative change-makers

Do you care about making a difference as much as you do making a dollar or making an object? Congrats. You’re a change-maker. Which is hard work and not always supported by the culture.

I support folks who are called to create, express, or make things better. What does support look like?

  • Listening

  • Coaching

  • Advising

  • Storytelling

  • Advocacy

My work helps people clarify what matters most, discover what’s holding them back or preventing progress — both internal and external obstacles — and create paths forward. It involves introspection and getting real with ourselves and others. It’s deeply powerful.

Part of my job is to make it as safe as possible for honest reflection. I draw people in to engage and participate. You want me in the room when people aren’t saying what’s on their mind. I’m also a trained writer and can craft clear, compelling messages that inspire and engage.

I can work with you in-person if you’re in the Raleigh, NC area, or by video/phone if you can meet during Eastern Time business hours.

Sound interesting? Schedule a time to tell me a little about what’s going on in your world.

Shift your perspective and your life. There are 4 ways you can get started today.

Option 1:

Read Useful / Beautiful

This is my monthly email reminder to discard unhelpful or ugly beliefs and return to what’s useful or beautiful. I write about making sense, the power of words, believing vs knowing, believing impossible things, finding what you look for, and more.

Option 2:

Get Daily Sticky

See what nuggets of wisdom, inspiration, trivia, and tidbits I’ve been holding onto for all these years. Topics include leading people, writing, marketing, value proposition design, stoicism, coaching, and more. Subscribe to get a sticky note on weekdays.

Talk to Kate

We can have a conversation. No obligations or expectations. We’ll discuss what’s on your mind and how I could help.
