Experienced Teacher 

Kate is an incredible facilitator who is engaging and innovative. She is a wonderful listener who works in partnership with people to develop and build upon individual strengths. Kate supported and guided me to identify a clear direction in my career and challenged me to be strategic in my leadership. She not only spoke clearly about the research underpinning effective leadership but was able to give practical suggestions that I could apply to my practise right away. I would highly recommend Kate to any educator at any stage of their career. Kate is passionate about supporting educators by prioritising their well-being, while challenging them to maximise their impact in the workplace.
