Kate helps executives to understand and grow their wisdom in leadership, so that they have a positive impact on themselves, their team, team, family, community, and leave a legacy on the greater world around them.A business professional and coach, Kate specialises in unleashing brilliance in people, teams and companies. In her career, Kate worked to the executive role of People and Development Director at Wiley & Co, and now works externally as an Executive Coach and Leadership Facilitator in other companies, as well as hosting the podcast "Level Up Leadership". Unlike other consultants who are ‘in and out’ without seeing the impact of their work, Kate has over a decade of history with her Leadership and Culture work at Wiley. This gives her great scope to be cutting edge, yet understand the practicalities to what it is really like as an executive leading in business today.Personally, in February 2018, Kate's life took an unexpected twist, when she had a minor stroke caused by a spontaneous vertebral artery dissection. She refers to the experience as 'a gift without a bow' - although it wasn’t pretty, the experience is a unique gift, and the lessons have added great depth to her insights of the brain, self-compassion and connection with others’ experience. Kate has been rehabilitating and rewiring her neural-pathways, and life, using all her knowledge and experience in neuroscience, positive psychology, habit theory and performance coaching. Her experience is now not only outside-in, but inside-out - she has LIVED it. The experience has fundamentally changed and challenged her to get clear and live on purpose.With more interests that a term deposit; and more degrees than a thermometer, Kate is an eternal student. University education consists of a Bachelor of Business Management (Australia), an MBA (France/Australia), and an Executive Masters in Positive Leadership and Strategy (Spain). She is an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation. A musician at heart she’s studied Musical Theater and Performance at National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA). For fun, you'll find Kate relaxing at any piano she finds (probably belting out a tune) and cycling at sunrise. She is also a keen yogini, and is a qualified Yoga Teacher. Passionate about holistic leadership, you’ll notice her approach (and that with Zenith Journey), is about supporting the whole person - mind, body, heart and soul.
