MEET KATE

Hi. My name’s Bob. Well actually it’s Kate but people call me Bob.

I have an ‘outrageous’ personality which for many years kinda got in the way of my success. I tried to deny my true personality and ‘fit in’… and made myself miserable in the process. I am naturally a leader and a go-getter but was struggling with the conflict between the pressure to be ‘demure & ladylike’… yet still deliver the goods. It was exhausting!

I learned some tough lessons on the way to success – but the most valuable one was that I already have EVERYTHING I NEEDED to be successful… I just needed to use the skills and strengths I already had and be myself.

I’m an experienced Business Transformation and Change practitioner, who became the Director before turning 40 and then went on to start my own Consulting Business. On a personal note, I’m a proud Mum of two (my family is EVERYTHING to me) and a real-life Ninja as I am a student of Taekwondo!

My business experience straddles working in both large corporate, multinational environments and owner operated businesses. I spent over a decade working in the Investment Banking Industry in London before returning home to New Zealand in 2008 (as a result of the GFC) where I took up roles working as a Business Partner and then two General Management positions.

Now I work as a Business Advisor and Strategist and I specialise in coaching SME business owners in the Wellington region ‘solve the tough stuff’ and achieve their goals… This work has taught me one Universal Truth – any business is only as good as the people in it. Lift the people and you lift the business.

I have taken my experience as an Advisor, Strategist and Coach – and in 2016 I decided to fulfil another of my passions – helping other women forge their way in the Business world… and so ‘KILLING IT’ was born.

Yes life is tough… but so are you.

Yes sometimes the scales are unevenly balanced – but the only way to rebalance them is to take ACTION.

One of my favourite sayings is “if you change nothing, then nothing will change”. So I implore you to decide what needs to change and…

GET ON WITH BEING AWESOME!

That’s what this programme is about – using the framework to uncover the skills and talents you already have so YOU can achieve YOUR goals.
