AN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PRACTICE FOR FOUNDERS & C-SUITE

Stop Performing Polish. Start Leading From Your Core.

You built the title, the company, the reputation for having it together — and it’s working. Nobody at the office can tell you’re doomscrolling at 1am, avoiding the conversation your marriage actually needs, or running on adrenaline because you’ve forgotten what it feels like to run on anything else. The Lift As You Climb Method™ is how you lead from conviction again — without blowing up what you built to get there.

Discover What’s Been Holding You Back

You wake up, go to work, come home, scroll mindlessly… and repeat. Like you’re living on autopilot in a life you don’t remember choosing.

That quiet voice asking WTF… is this it?

That’s not burnout.

That’s misalignment.

I help you break free from autopilot and step into a life that actually excites you
again in your career, relationships, and leadership.

Using a proprietary Purpose Factor Assessment, deep clarity work, and bold action steps, we move you from stuck to certain and activated.

You get to come back to life again.

Because life is too short to live on “meh.”

Kate’s Story

I found out how thin the line is between competent and collapsing before I ever had a client. That’s where I learned something most executive coaches never have to learn firsthand: the people who look the most in control are often the ones closest to falling apart, and nobody can tell from the outside. Including, most of the time, them.

Twenty-plus years later, that’s still the exact pattern I see across every boardroom I sit in. The founder everyone calls unshakeable. The CEO who hasn’t taken a real day off in three years. The executive whose marriage is quietly ending in the next room while the earnings call goes fine.

I’m a licensed clinical therapist. I’m also a professional mediator trained to sit in a room while two people, two departments, or two versions of the same marriage work out what’s actually true, instead of managing around it. I built The Lift As You Climb Method™ because I got tired of watching brilliant people hire a coach for their leadership and a therapist for their marriage, and nobody for the thing actually connecting both: the pattern running underneath. With me  you get the best of both worlds and desired outcomes. 

I’m not here to help you cope with the chaos. I’m here to help you stop generating it.

Lately, I’ve Been Having Amazing Chats With Some of My Favorite Podcasters.

Finding Your North Star: The Power of Purpose and Fulfillment

Find Your Purpose, Shine Your Bright Way

Transform Your Self-Worth and Shine in Every Interaction

You know that feeling when you’ve poured hours into preparing for a big pitch, only to leave the room wondering if anyone noticed your effort? I help professionals rediscover themselves, boost their self-worth, and ensure their contributions truly shine in every interaction because it comes from conviction and not performance.

My goal is to help you gain clarity on what you really want, and give you the tools to ask for it, negotiate confidently, and move forward with full chest knowing. Doing so can save you time, energy, heartbreak and maybe even money.

Kate has an incredible gift for uncovering what’s holding you back. One session with her gave me clarity, purpose, and focus I’d never had I now feel inspired, energised, and clear on my path.

From Confusion to Conviction, Clarity and Control

“you know when a leader walks into their beautiful house after a 12 hr day, drops their keys on the counter, pours a drink, and realizes they haven’t genuinely laughed, connected, rested, or felt excited about anything in their own life in a while…well I help those people learn to find themselves again.”

That feeling isn’t boredom it’s a call for more.

That’s not boredom. That’s the part of you that already knows something has to change, and is tired of waiting for permission to act on it.

Here’s how we work: we name what’s actually true instead of managing around it, and rebuild how you make decisions under pressure, not in theory so you stop needing the next win to feel okay. This isn’t a five-year plan you’ll abandon by March. It’s the difference between performing fine and actually being fine.

You don’t need the path to be perfect. You need to stop pretending the current one is working.

Will You Be The Next Success Story?

Here’s what my clients say about working with me

Welcome to Lead From Your Core

At Lift As You Climb, I guide founders and executives through the hardest pivots — the burnout that won’t quit, the marriage or health quietly cracking under the weight of the win, and that restless “is this really it?” underneath a résumé that says you’ve made it. And when the problem isn’t just one leader but the culture around them, I work with the organizations they’re building too — because burnout doesn’t stay contained to one office.

Whether you’re stuck in the exhausting in-between of “something has to change,” secretly wanting to burn it all down and start over, or watching it show up across your whole leadership team — you don’t have to navigate it alone. You have options, individually and organizationally. And most importantly: you’re going to be OK.

Therapy vs. Coaching: What’s the Difference?

Therapy

  • A deep dive into your past
  • Explores how childhood, past relationships, and unconscious patterns shape your present behavior
  • Helps uncover hidden emotional “treasures” or skeletons that influence your life
  • Like working with an emotional archaeologist, carefully uncovering your inner world
  • Acts as a mental tune-up, helping you clean the lenses through which you see your life
  • Focuses on understanding how you got here and healing old wounds

Coaching

  • Focused on the present and future, not the past
  • Helps you clarify where you are now and where you want to go
  • Like having a personal trainer for your life
  • Provides practical strategies, honest insight, and motivation
  • Think of it as a life GPS, helping you navigate twists, turns, potholes, and detours
  • If therapy is about healing, coaching is about taking action and climbing new mountains

Redefine Your Life & Start Taking Control

Feeling stuck, burned out, or just… blah? Like the spark is gone and everything feels heavier than it should?

Clarity & Direction

See clearly why you’re making the call you’re making not just what you’re chasing so the next hard decision doesn’t cost you a night’s sleep, and the goals you’re setting are actually yours instead of the ones you inherited from the job title.

Confidence & Self-Worth

Trust your own read on a room again so you can set a boundary with your board, your team, or your spouse without needing everyone else to validate it first, and actually hold it when it gets pushed.

Resilience & Fulfillment

Bounce back from the setback that used to take you out for a week, because the satisfaction is coming from knowing you led it right, not from whether the deal closed or the board clapped.

 

When It’s Time to Start Over

Sometimes the most powerful move is a fresh start. There is nothing wrong with getting back on track or dusting off dreams you tucked away years ago.

Freedom from Past Limitations

Break free from outdated beliefs, toxic relationships, or paths that no longer fit.

New Opportunities for Growth & Happiness

A new direction opens the door to experiences and achievements that align with who you truly are now.

Is This Right for You?

Who This Experience Is For and Who It Isn’t

This Is For You If…

  • You’re driven but done with the burnout.
  • You want clarity, not just strategy.
  • You feel stuck, off, or just fed-up and don’t know what else to do.
  • You’re leading a team or mission but not getting buy-in.
  • You’ve been called successful… but it doesn’t feel like it.

Not For You If…

  • You want someone to sugarcoat the truth.
  • You’re looking for a quick fix.
  • You’re unwilling to take responsibility.
  • You’d rather perform than lead.
  • You’re not ready to look under the hood.

Lead From the Core What I Believe & How You’ll Transform

Say what you mean. Do what you say. Real leadership can’t be faked. Whining without action is just noise. I will challenge you…hard. Growth happens in discomfort. I’ll guide you through it won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

By The End, You Will

Know who you are and learn to lead from that place with intention. Stop second-guessing yourself and start making bold, confident decisions while eliminating subconscious self-sabotage.

Lead with presence and power, create momentum without burnout, and show up fully in your work, life, and relationships. Live in alignment with your values and become truly unstoppable.

Understand how your team also works together and as individuals and see them differently.

Here’s How We Do It

  • Discover: We do some assessments and get clarity on where you are at right now
  • Align: Define leadership style, strip performance, reconnect to self
  • Activate: Bold roadmap for leadership at work and home
  • Integrate: Tools, coaching, and strategy to make it stick

Kate has an exceptional ability to see people for who they truly are and uncover what’s holding them back. As an entrepreneur feeling stuck and frustrated, I booked a session with her and took a Purpose Factor Assessment. In just one session, Kate identified the root cause of my block and articulated my purpose with clarity and energy I’d never experienced. I felt truly seen and understood. Now my path is clear, and I feel inspired, focused, and energized. Kate’s gift has profoundly impacted both my business and my life.

Got questions? I’ve Got Answers.

Is this therapy?

No. I’m a licensed therapist, which is exactly why I can tell you this with confidence: therapy looks backward to heal; this looks forward to lead. We’re not doing a full trauma deep dive here we’re using what clinical training teaches about how people actually change, and pointing it at your leadership and your life outside the office. If something surfaces that genuinely needs clinical treatment, I’ll tell you directly and help you find the right person. That’s not a failure of the process. It’s part of doing it responsibly.

Most coaching addresses your calendar, your habits, or your KPIs. None of that holds if the pattern driving the burnout is still running underneath. This works differently because it starts with why you’re actually stuck, not with another framework for managing your time better. If the old coaching didn’t stick, it wasn’t because you failed at it. It was solving the wrong layer.


You don’t have time not to. The version of this you’re avoiding right now is already costing you hours every week in the doomscrolling, the distraction, the fights that go nowhere, the decisions you’re too depleted to make well. The Core Clarity Audit is one 90-minute conversation. You’ll know by the end of it whether this is worth your time going forward.

Perfect. That’s the point. You don’t need clarity to start. Gaining clarity is part of the process. You get it here.

This is exactly why what you’re actually dealing with burnout, a breakdown, an affair, a marriage on the edge needs somewhere with real discretion, not a corporate wellness webinar with your name on an attendance sheet. Everything here is private: one-on-one or closed cohort. Nobody at your company or in your life needs to know unless you decide to tell them.

Because most of what’s actually breaking down in your life isn’t a mindset problem — it’s a conflict nobody’s actually resolving. A board disagreement. The fight with your spouse that never finishes, just pauses. Mediation training means I’m not only giving you insight into the pattern I’m trained to help you actually work through the conflict underneath it, with the people it involves, not just talk about it alone in a session.

Start with the Core Clarity Audit if you’re not sure how bad it actually is. If you already know you need the deeper rebuild, Lead From Your Core is the standard starting point. If your team or company is the actual patient, that’s an organizational consultation instead. If you’re still unsure, that’s what the first call is for I’ll tell you honestly which one fits, even if it’s the cheaper option.

Often, yes — especially the Executive Cohort and Embedded Advisory tiers, which are built for that budget line specifically. For 1:1 individual work, that depends entirely on your company; some clients expense it, most pay personally. I can give you what you need for a reimbursement conversation if that’s relevant.

Because this is deep, personalized work, I don’t offer refunds. I encourage clients to book a call first to ensure it feels aligned.

You won’t be left integrating alone. Yes. You’ll have [email / text] support between sessions to help integrate what we uncover.  Some clients are genuinely done and ready to run with it. Most want ongoing support at a lower intensity that’s what Core Counsel and Convicted Personal Coaching are for. Nobody graduates into being left alone with no next step unless that’s what they actually want.
