WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“Kate has been instrumental in helping us lay better foundations for our sales, marketing, and business design.

Kate has this uncanny ability to take in a lot of information (both said and unsaid) and distill it into clear and digestible next steps. It's hard to imagine how we would have sifted through the many-layered mess we were in last year without Kate's keen eye and thoughtful support. It is no wonder some of her clients see her as their business therapist."

— Nathan Clarke, Director of Craft & Production Coolican & Company + Co-Founder Toronto Woodturning

Growing your business should bring you closer to yourself, not further away.

I believe in:

Choosing your hard. Every path has challenges—we get to choose the trade-offs that are meaningful to us.

Letting the easy things be easy. As adrienne maree brown says, “What is easy is sustainable. Birds coast when they can.”

Being intentional with your actions. When we choose rather than react, we can show up from our values more often than our fears.

Prioritizing direction over speed. The right direction at a pace we trust is better than rushing toward the wrong thing.

Building things that last. Focusing on long-term sustainability over short-term growth that disappears as quickly as it came.

Finding the middle path. When we let go of either/or thinking, we see new possibilities.

It’s through ongoing conversation with our business—and ourselves—that we create profitable, enjoyable businesses resilient enough to grow alongside us.
